Fletcher’s Little Blue Truck’s Halloween Birthday Party
This post contains affiliate links. I may receive a small commission for any sales made through them. The cost to you remains the same. Can you believe my little Fletcher just turned two on October 14th? It’s still hard to believe how fast the time goes by. He is a sweet, happy, funny little guy who loves to get into mischief (and believe me…he does!). He especially loves to read with me, which I love too. His current favorite is anything Little Blue Truck related. So, with his birthday being two weeks before Halloween, we decided to throw together a no fuss Little Blue Truck’s Halloween party for him. If…

Custom Wall Art on Canvas
I have partnered with Photowall for this post. All expressed opinions are 100% my own. Full disclosure. It’s not often easy for artists to appreciate their own work. We are always striving to improve, to find our style, to grow and be like those that inspire us. But do we ever stop to see the profoundness in our own uniqueness? Do we ever get to revel in the joy of our own talents, gifts, abilities, attempts? I struggle with this. A lot. I have always considered myself “an artist” –although more disparagingly than I would describe a friend as an artist. “Oh her? She is AMAZING and so talented. Such…

Self Care and Sleep
I have partnered with Cozy Earth in exchange for this post. All expressed opinions are 100% my own. Full disclosure. I don’t know about you, but 2020 and the beginning of 2021 were excruciating for me. For numerous reasons, most obviously Covid and all of the unplanned changes that came with the pandemic. One thing that I realized through therapy and inviting friends back into my life in recent months is that self care was not on “my list” of things to do. I had merely been surviving each day, and fighting to simply do that. During the height of the pandemic, I had all four kids at home, two…

Simple Spring Entryway
I’m back again already! Can you believe it? Once I got back into the swing of taking photographs (with my actual camera and not my phone), I have had a lot of motivation to share more. It made me realize how much I have missed this creative outlet and the community I have come to know here. Today, I am sharing a few more photos I took of some simple spring decorating I have done around the house. Our entryway leads to the dining room on one side and living room on the other. It hasn’t gotten a lot of attention since we moved in a few years ago, but…

Spring in the Dining Room
Well, hello there! It has been quite awhile since I have been here! I am happy to pop in today to share with you a little spring/summer vignette in our dining room. Life has been all sorts of crazy over the past year and I have not really focused on the house or decorating or doing much of anything other than chasing kids around and making sure everyone else has what they need. But as my youngest two gain more independence (and one takes lengthy afternoon naps), and my older two are back to full time school, I am finding time to get back to some of the things I…

Choosing Art for the Bedroom
I have partnered with Photowall for this post. All expressed opinions are 100% my own. Full disclosure. Hey Friends! I hope this July finds you well. Things are still pretty low key here. We have started having a few small family get togethers but are staying home most of the time. Life is sure busy with an almost 9 month old, very spirited three year old and seven and nine year olds! I never know how the day will go. We make the best of staying home and have certainly been enjoying the warm summer weather. A much needed change these days is that little Fletcher has *finally* learned how…
