I’ve raved about my Nespresso machine for years (and still love it!) but there’s a new love in our lives and it’s our Breville Bambino Plus Espresso machine (also on amazon, where we purchased ours, here).

Spring Home Decor Finds
Being at home 24/7 has led me to scour the internet for items to enhance and complete our spaces.

The Easiest Way to Hang Art + Frames on Your Wall
This post is about a handy little art hanging tool that I wish I had found years ago. I literally cannot rave enough about the ease of using this picturing hanging system. It's literally a ONE STEP process and I feel 100% confident doing it on my own. Last weekend, I hung two pieces of art in Lincoln's bathroom and used this High & Mighty ...
