Welcome 2015!  I know a lot of you are getting back into the swing of things after vacation and much needed time off. I'm back after what seemed like a very long December that had my mind on so many other things. So so sorry for my absence. Like a lot of you, I am feeling optimistic and hopeful for a great year ahead. I'm not so anxious to do my yearly goal list though (PS: I like the word goal instead of resolution-but that's just me). I dug up the one from last year-- hidden in the junk ... [Read More]

Hey guys! Hope those who celebrated Thanksgiving this past week had a great one! We had a good time reflecting on what we are thankful for while stuffing our faces- always so much fun.

It's no secret I love babies- certainly, my own, the mostest of all. I have a feeling, however, there will be another babe born soon who will steal my heart.

It's week 6. I've made it. Actually thanks to having to do the photo shoot on Monday, I came in before deadline- which if you know me, has NEVER happened. I am a procrastinator at heart. Remember last One Room Challenge and my husband up at 6am the morning of the reveal to hang the chandelier for me? Yea... that was me- not this- I'm finished 3 days early biznass. I do have a confession of sorts though. While the space is finished for the most part, some accessories are styled-- in other words, ... [Read More]

Art has been on my brain for quite sometime. And while my I Heart Art posts have seriously been lacking, I'm about to make it up to you all with a new curated online- to die for- art resource. Lisa of These Fine Walls, who I found via Instagram, has opened up shop and if I could pick up and live in the interwebs, I would happily take up residence in her site. The work she has carefully chosen is absolutely breathtaking, provocative, interesting and from Day 1 of seeing her sneak peeks on IG, I ... [Read More]
