Currently Loving {vol. 2}

08/14/2018 By Bre

I don’t know if it’s celebrating each season, or the anticipation of the seasonal change right around the corner, but I find myself being drawn to certain things, or pieces at different times throughout the year. Not as generic as lets say pumpkin spice everything come fall, or coconut smelling soaps and lotions in the summer. No this varies from season to season, and changes throughout the mood. I shared in my first post of Currently Loving that sometimes these things don’t have a specific category they fall into, or a designated blog post. I just wanted a place to share what currently has me swooning, and perhaps at the same time it will have you swooning too. Nope this is just a light hearted, what I’m currently loving right now kind of post!

Home is Where Your Story Begins

07/01/2018 By Bre

It’s a gift, that environment you created, that space you cultivated, even if you just fluffed the throw pillows on your couch – when you take the time to make others feel comfortable and welcome in your home you are offering them a gift. It’s not always about having the nicest and the best. If I think back on every home I’ve had, through every season of life I’ve been in, there is one common thread through them all – it was a welcoming environment. Whether my living room was made up of thrift store furniture, or when we could finally afford to buy a new couch.

5 Things Motherhood has Taught Me

05/13/2018 By Bre

On this Mothers Day, I wanted to share with you a little bit about my journey in motherhood so far. I cap it at “so far” because well, I’m right in the middle of it. I’m past the throws of the infant stage and toddler hood, and no sleep, and right in the sweet spot of “I can wipe my own bum” and “tie my own shoes” and there is no sign of pre-teen drama. And even if we aren’t at the same stage in life, or motherhood for that matter, I really just wanted to share what has impacted me, what I’ve learned so far, lol. Because if you haven’t been in toddlerhood for a while, it is no joke my friend! While I still have a long ways to go, here are 5 things I’ve learned so far.

The Importance of Knowing Your “WHY”

04/11/2018 By Bre

Do you know your “WHY”? That thing you have inside of you that gets you out of bed in the morning, that causes your attention and efforts to manifest in the way they do? I’m not necessarily talking about purpose here, although that plays a part in it, but knowing your “why” can set you free from the mundane, and reignite the flame to your passions. Today I’m sharing my “WHY”, and how I came to find it… again!

Currently Loving

04/10/2018 By Bre

Hello Friends! I’ve been doing a lot of thinking lately. Well more processing. Thinking about my blog, why I blog, what I want to share. I’ve told you how in the past I’ve felt like I needed to keep things more professional while building my brand, but in an effort to be more candid I want to start sharing more lifestyle things as well. In all my processing, I’ve had so many thoughts swirling around in my head, well words actually. Things I really want to share, and sometimes they don’t always fit into a neat, categorized blog post, or even a blog title for that matter. I know I’ve done round ups in the past on furniture or decor I’m loving for that season, but there are so many things that catch my eye, or that I love during certain seasons, heck even weeks for that matter. So I decided to start rounding up the things I’m currently loving, and share them in one big post. They might include some home decor, some beauty products, a tv show, a magazine article, an outfit, or just an article of clothing. You get the idea! So today I’m kicking things off with my first “Currently Loving” post.

We’re featured in Yankee Magazine

03/04/2018 By Bre

It’s always a delight to see how they choose to feature our home in magazine articles. Which photos they will chose, what details they will highlight. Of course the 2 page spread above is one of my most favorite views in our home. However, I think you’ll agree with me, when I turned the page to see the photo below, I squealed with delight to see a candid shot of me and my daughter made the feature!

Gift Guide {2017}

11/23/2017 By Bre

Since it’s Black Friday, (which this year seemed to turn into an all week event?), I wanted to share some of things I have my eye on for gifts this year. Let’s be honest, whenever I do a little Christmas shopping I always end up throwing a thing or three in my cart for me. Since I have no desire to leave my house and brave the crowds, my goal is take advantage of some of the online sales this weekend. So this years gift guide is brought to you by all the things that have caught my eye online.
