Well, it's officially the season for baking! I thought I would kick things off this month with a fun free printable that I created for the baking corner I have in my kitchen. All you need is an 8.5 x 11 frame and this ginger cutie will look great next to your spatulas and mixing bowls. I love putting on a Christmas movie in the living … [Read more...]
DIY Vintage Plate Wall
I love pretty dishes. Vintage china plates and delicate crystal platters tend to call my name. This seems to run in the family because so does my mother. Her collection of vintage dishes far outweighs my own. And I recently had a chance to help her with installing a plate wall, displaying her favorite vintage dishes, in her newly … [Read more...]

Basement Rec Room Changes
I can't remember in the 3 years I've been blogging, if I've ever mentioned that we have a basement rec room in our home. I know for certain I've never photographed it or featured it in a post, because if I'm being completely honest with you all -- this level of our home typically looks like it was hit by an Armageddon-sized toy bomb. It's … [Read more...]

Laundry Room Makeover
One of the small projects my husband and I pecked away at over the summer was giving our laundry room a makeover. I'm going to be completely honest and just put it out there. This laundry room.... it's the bane of my existence. I wish I were exaggerating. Not only is it the single most hardworking room in our house, but it's also the … [Read more...]
Five Great Children’s Books About Fall
With the start of a new school year a few months ago, I am back at my weekly role at our kids' school, helping for my third year as their library coordinator. As I've mentioned before, this is a volunteer position, but it still requires a good chunk of my time, which I don't mind. I love helping in this capacity, since my first love was and … [Read more...]
A Cozy Bedroom Retreat for Fall
Can I confess something? Most of the time I feel like my bedroom is a bit like a war zone. Between the piles of "I'm too tired to hang you back up" clothing or the equally monstrous "I folded you but I don't want to put you away" heaps, I sometimes feel like I would rather NOT hang out in my bedroom. Which is really a shame because a … [Read more...]
Home Office Refresh
Earlier this summer, when I gave my family room a bit of a refresh by moving around some furniture, it sort of set off a chain reaction. It's very much like the domino effect. You can't just move one thing around and not have it impact all the other rooms simultaneously. It just does. So when I took the bookcases out of my office, it … [Read more...]
