5 Ways to Beat the Winter Blues (at Home)
Does the time after the holiday season ever get you feeling blue? It does for me. It’s like the bottom falls out after New Year’s and I just don’t know what to do with myself. I miss the music on the radio, the movies on TV, the lights around town. All of the decorations, the magic, the wonder of Christmas is suddenly gone. And we are stuck knee deep in the thick of winter and the long, gray days of…………blah. Well, maybe it’s just because I live outside of Rochester, NY where the sky doesn’t turn blue again until late spring and the snow has been known to stick around through…

Creative Gifts for Little Ones: to spark their imagination
I have partnered with UncommonGoods for this post. All expressed opinions are 100% my own. Full disclosure. Several years ago I received an UncommonGoods catalog in the mail and loved the quirky, creative and different offerings they had. I had never seen anything like it at the time. Even though this was probably more than 15 years ago, they are still an awesome source for creative gifts for family and friends. I especially love their gifts for babies and children, which is where you can find all of the gifts featured here. This year, I want to get back to a simpler idea of gift giving: handmade, thoughtful, creative. And especially for my children, find…

Handmade Boho Thanksgiving Decorations {from Etsy}
This post contains affiliate links. I may receive a small commission for any sales made through them, but the cost to you does not change. Full disclosure. Thanksgiving is just around the corner and it’s going to come fast, but I am hoping to savor every moment of this season. This first two weeks of November is my favorite time of year! I love it because the leaves are usually at their peak, the weather is crisp but not too cold, everything feels cozy inside, and the full “holiday rush” hasn’t started yet. Oh and my favorite cheesy Hallmark holiday movies are on 24/7. Yup, I’m a sucker for those. This…

Minimalist Bohemian Home Office
Last week, I showed you guys our bonus room staged to sell. It has long been our over-cluttered-death-trap of a playroom covered in toys. My computer desk and office supplies were crammed in the corner. When it came time to sell, I knew that had to change. I went for a minimalist boho vibe to keep it simple yet retain personal style. In our next home (take the tour here), I hope to keep the same style and limit the clutter. Today, I have pulled together a source list with a similar look from my affiliate links*. Click on the links or any of the images below to be taken…

Copper + Gold Boho Thanksgiving Table Ideas
This post contains affiliate links. I may receive a small commission for any sales made through them. Full disclosure. Thanksgiving is coming fast! Even though we are expecting our third baby any time now, there is still a chance we might host Thanksgiving dinner here. It would be potluck and my husband would cook the turkey, so that I can simply focus on our new baby…and making the house pretty for our guests. The creativity involved with that actually excites me no matter what is going on. I’m planning now how I want to do up the table should we decide to have our family here. This is what I…

Wildflower Bohemian Baby
Our baby girl is due in less than a month! Hard to believe really, but then I know as soon as she arrives we will wonder how we ever got on without her. It is such an exciting time bringing a new person into the world. It’s been five years since I had a baby girl to shop for, and I have become a bit obsessed with looking for cute new finds for this one. There are so many adorable baby items out there, I just can’t help myself. I have already purchased a few, and keep adding to my wish list. Today, I am sharing some of my favorites…
