Hello Friends! I hope you had a wonderful 4th of July!! We love to get together with family and friends and celebrate. Hosting is one of our favorite things to do, but if you have entertained before you know that sometimes coming up with all the food can be a bit daunting. Sometimes ideas or recipes come right to me, and other times I feel like I'm having a complete brain fart and don't even know where to start. Today I'm sharing one of my favorite patriotic summer dessert recipes, that no matter what season you are in instantly makes it feel like summer. It's a slight twist on a classic favorite and is a high demand in our house. I hope you enjoy! ... Read More about Patriotic Summer Dessert
Summer Porch Decorating
Hi Friends! I hope your summer is off to a great start and in full swing! Our oldest has been away at his first summer camp all week, and this mama's heart is going through all sorts of emotions about it. I'm sure it's been a wonderful week, but I'm dying to hug his neck and hear all about it! With the 4th of July quickly approaching, things finally feel like summer has arrived around here, so I wanted to share with you some front porch decorating I've done, and how I subtly add some patriotic flare! ...

Incorporating Rattan in your Home Decor
You've heard me say it before, that while I don't typically decorate for every holiday, I decorate for the seasons. I think growing up in New England where the four seasons are a bit more prominent has trained me for this mind set when it comes to decorating our home. I want to welcome each new season, and all it has to offer, by incorporating pieces that remind me of that season throughout our home. Texture is a great way of adding warmth to a space, but incorporating seasonal textures is another great way to decorate your home seasonally. Today I'm sharing with you my favorite pieces for incorporating rattan into your home decor. ... Read More about Incorporating Rattan in your Home Decor
The “NAY-Sayers”
Hi friends! How are you today!! I've been sharing a bit from the heart lately, and well, I just can't move on until it stops weighing so heavy. I hope that's ok. And please know I'm not changing my blogging focus from Home Decor, but I think it's important to share multiple aspects that happen to inspire life. Recently I've shared with you the importance of "Doing What You Love". And how vital that is as a creative soul, a person, to make sure that life doesn't stifle us to the point where we feel uninspired to do much of anything. Then I shared with you the "Nastiest 4 Letter Word" that we can all fall prey to every now and again- FEAR. It's a dream crusher, and can cripple even the most ... Read More about The “NAY-Sayers”
The Nastiest 4 Letter Word
I know I know, there are a lot of bad 4 letter words out there. It's hard to believe there is one that is the nastiest of all. But to a creative soul, a dreamer, the one stepping out on the water with extreme faith and courage, there is one 4 letter word that can leave us paralyzed right where we are. It begins with the letter "F", and no I'm not talking about the one that rhymes with "truck". FEAR. ... Read More about The Nastiest 4 Letter Word
Summer Tour of Homes 2017
It sure has been feeling a lot like summer this past week. With temps reaching into the 90's, and all the leaves just about fully in bloom on the trees, it's safe to say the snow is now behind us here in New England. We even escaped to the lake one afternoon last week, which totally felt like summer. I am so ready for it. I don't know about you, but I'm ready for summer vacation, lazy days, going to the beach, and not having to make anymore school lunches! Can I get an AMEN! I saw a funny video on YouTube this past week about September school parenting vs. May school parenting, it's so perfect, you can watch HERE for a little laugh! With summer on the brain, I'm sharing a few tweaks I did ... Read More about Summer Tour of Homes 2017
A Mother’s Day Tablescape
Thank you so much for your kind words to yesterdays post! I shared my struggle to keep up with running at a break-neck pace with little or no time to refresh ourselves. The downside to this is we end up running out of creative juices. I'm talking about when the creative pool runs dry. We are left feeling unmotivated and uninspired to create or put our hands into any project. You can catch the post in it's entirety HERE, but what it did was inspire me to put my hands to doing something I truly love. If you've been following along for awhile than you know it's no secret I love creating tablescapes. And just as much as I love to style them, I love to photograph them as well! ...

Doing What You Love
It's so important as a creative person to take time to do what you love. That might seem like a no-brainer at first, but life's demands have a way of creeping in and stealing us away from the things we love to do the most. Before we know it we are running at a break-neck pace with little or no time to refresh ourselves. The downside to this is we end up running out of creative juices. I'm not talking about burn-out, because that is an entirely different beast in itself, although if we aren't careful we might end up there too! I'm talking about when the creative pool runs dry. We are left feeling unmotivated and uninspired to create or put our hands into any project. I found myself feeling ... Read More about Doing What You Love
Spring Porch Refresh
The rain has finally stopped. Although the extended forecast says we are in for more, but for now it stopped long enough for me to refresh our porch for spring. Once warmer temps start to hit here in New England, it's like everything comes to a screeching halt, and we turn our attention to all things outdoors. I think our long winters really help us appreciate the warmer months, and being outside. However you can't fully enjoy it unless you have a space to sit down and relax, and enjoy it in. After creating our outdoor patio space last year with Joss & Main, I was excited to team up with them again this spring and this time give our farmers porch a little attention. It is my go-to spot ... Read More about Spring Porch Refresh
Bathroom Makeover Reveal
Friends, today is the day! I'm finally sharing our bathroom makeover reveal! It's not because it took us forever to finish it, although it was nice not having any deadlines right on our heels. No we have been stuck in perpetual days of rain and clouds. I mean it is true what they say "April showers bring May flowers", and we can't wait for that. The sun finally broke through last week for a brief moment and I was able to get some pictures. If you caught my Insta stories than you got a little sneak peak. And for those who did catch my Insta stories and I couldn't get details out fast enough on sources, everything is sourced and linked today. Enjoy! ... Read More about Bathroom Makeover Reveal
Spring Master Bedroom
Like any room in our house, when spring comes along I like to switch out winter blankets for summer blankets. There's nothing like freshening up a space during spring time months with lighter blankets and pillows. Since it's national sleep week I wanted to show you how I lightened things up in our master bedroom. I teamed up with Crane & Canopy, along with a few other bloggers to share our bedrooms with you all week long. ... Read More about Spring Master Bedroom
Favorite Spring Home Decor
Spring is in the air! Or so I can finally say that because our temperatures finally reflect it! After much snow and cold temps, this week things are finally looking like they are warming up. I'm anxious for our trees to start budding again and for some pops of green, and I never thought I would be saying this, but I'm anxious to be able to start working in our yard again. I have some gardening plans for around our chicken coop this year, and I can't wait to get started! I love sharing with you my favorite home decor choices, so today I've rounded up my favorite spring home decor picks for this year! Even though I've already decorated our home spring, here are a few things that have caught my ... Read More about Favorite Spring Home Decor
