A dream come true…
I know I don't normally post on a Sunday, or typically over the weekend for that matter, but something amazing happened this weekend, and I was too excited to wait until Monday to share :) In life we all have dreams and goals and aspirations. The "what if's" and "wouldn't be cool if" but I think sometimes we shoot those dreams down before we even give them a chance to grow. While we would all love things to miraculously happen over night, rarely is it the case that things happen that way. We hope and we plan and we dream, and pray for those "what - if's" to become a reality. I don't think I was ever mentally prepared for how much work would go into growing this blog, or my business. There ... Read More about A dream come true…
An Interview with Bre!
You guys, I cannot believe it is Friday already! Man this week flew by, with great excitement I might add!! I'm so excited because I have some fun fall posts for you starting next week, and the weeks to follow after that! Since I'm still on crutches it's taken me a bit longer to get in the groove of "back to school". I posted an update earlier this week on the status of my broken foot on IG, but if you missed it on there. I saw the Dr. last week and while we are still early on in the game, he said that things are looking great! So I go back in a couple of weeks for follow up x-rays to determine the fate of the crutches! The boot, I'm sad to say, will still be kicking around for a bit, but I ...

5 Tips to Help you Choose a Blog Name
I started thinking after my last post, and after reading some of your comments it confirmed my thoughts, that it can be tricky to pick a name either for your blog or your business. Sometimes I think it's the hardest part, everything else seems easy or falls into place when it comes to what you do, but picking a name to describe who you are and what you are all about can be the biggest obstacle we face when establishing our business. I shared with you how my blog name came to be, but I also have a business. Many of you already know this, but the blog is what spurred on my business. The blog gave me the courage to finally start something, and go for it. After blogging for about 9 months, we ... Read More about 5 Tips to Help you Choose a Blog Name
Behind the Name
I've gotten a few comments recently on where I got my name for the blog on Instagram and my latest Periscope clip. So I figured while I'm still on crutches and can't do much in the project department, I would take the time to answer this, because after all when you are following someone, it's nice to at least understand the name. If you've been around from the beginning, than you probably already know this. When the idea of starting a blog first started swirling around in my head, we had recently moved into our first home. I had all sorts of ideas for what projects I was going to share on how we were making our mark on our new home, but struggled for awhile on coming up with a name. Of ...

Update on Life
Thank you so much for all of your kind comments and concerns in regards to my last post. It's so nice to read all your well wishes, it totally brightens my day. The recovery is going well, but the reality is setting in on just how little I can do. My husband and kids have been amazing at making sure not only am I taken care of, but our household stuff is getting done as well, to the best of their ability. I have to be honest, I've never been in a position like this before, where I have to solely rely on the help of others. I can't stand on my own, so crutches are a must, but even moving around a little bit is tiring. I can't carry anything, clear anything off, bring anything in and out of ...

When Life throws you Lemons …
I know, we all know you make lemonade. But what happens when you are out of sugar? Or in my case you just can't reach it?! If you caught my post on Instagram over the weekend, than you may have an idea of what I'm talking about it. But in case you missed that, or aren't on Instagram, I broke my foot while we were on vacation last week. We had a sun filled week on the beautiful coast of Maine with my sister and her family. We love this spot, and have gone back every year since our son was born. The houses have been in the family for decades, on a private beach nestled between two main attraction beaches, and we love that we are blessed to have not only a great vacation spot, but a place to ...

Art of Home |Modern Simple Living
When you think of the word "home" what comes to mind. Some words that I think of are inviting, warm, comforting, peaceful, safe, refreshing. Maybe some of my words were ones that you thought of too?! It's no surprise that we long for a space that is comforting and refreshes you as you spend time in it. When you think of your home, whether it's a 3 bedroom house, or a studio apartment, does it reflect those words that you think of when you close your eyes and dwell on the word "home"? To me home isn't about the size or status. We use words like "own" or "rent", "apartment", "rent a room" or "house", "single", "married" to describe our status, but it doesn't matter what your status is, any of ...
