Minimalist Master Bedroom Staged to Sell
Today, I’m excited to pick back up on a series I started over the summer, showing how we staged our previous house to sell. It was a major undertaking with three small children and having to live in it at the same time, but we did it on our own and for minimal cost. Once we got the house listed, we had six showings the first day and were able to sell it for above list price in less than 24 hours. It really came down to decluttering and staging to make that possible, since we did not live in a particularly “hot” market area. I started this series with…

DIY Countdown to Valentine’s Day
For the past few years, I have made an advent calendar for my children for Christmas. Each year, it has been a little bit different than the one before. They love it so much, that this year, I decided to do one for Valentine’s Day as well. I know I am a bit late in getting this post out there, but I wanted to share it with you anyways in case it might spark some last minute inspiration! This post contains some affiliate links.

A Trip to Anthropologie
Now that we have moved from a rural small town to a large suburb, I am close to all sorts of conveniences that I wasn’t before. Shopping centers galore, every kind of restaurant you could imagine, and a huge mall. One place in the mall, that I have waited years to visit, is a brick and mortar Anthropologie. I certainly could have gotten myself there sooner (it was about 45 minutes away before), but I only made my first visit after moving to our new home. It’s now only about 10 minutes away. Josh and I had a little date night last weekend, and he took me there again where…

Favorites from Hearth and Hand
This post contains affiliate links. I may receive a small commission for any sales made through them. Full disclosure. Have you checked out the new Hearth and Hand with Magnolia line at Target? Last month, while Christmas shopping alone (a mom’s dream), I happened upon it and was instantly smitten. I love that it’s simple, yet modern and has some eclectic elements in it. My birthday was on December 15th, and one of my gifts from my husband, was the Hearth and Hand Galvanized Metal and Wood Shelving Set. We hung it up a couple of weeks ago in the dining room. It’s one of the first things we decided…

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…
