Thank you Disney Book Group for sponsoring this post. All thoughts and opinions are my own. As a child, teen, and young adult, I was a total book worm. I would go to the library and check out 5-10 books and read for hours on end. There was something about reading and using my imagination to bring the stories to life that was such a calming ...

Friday Five
Happy Friday! O N E If you're reading today (especially on desktop) you'll see my blog underwent a little redesign! I also have a special page we're still working on that I can't wait to debut - stay tuned! I decided to change my Wordpress template so that the menu would be above my blog header and also tried to visually simplify as much as we ...
Master Bedroom Update and Design Boards with Oyster Creek Studios
It’s a pretty great day when you open your inbox to find design boards from Aryn at Oyster Creek Studios. Rewind to earlier this summer – I hired Aryn to help me with our master bedroom. It has always been the most neglected space in our home and I was ready to have the grown-up, completed bedroom of my dreams instead of a room that constantly felt ...

Friday Five
I feel like I haven’t done a real Friday Five in forever – but I pulled it together this week to get some updates going. O N E I shared on stories recently that I’m going to be working with an interior designer on our master bedroom. I can’t truly say I’ve ever loved our master bedroom in any of our three homes. It’s always the space that gets ...
Our Playroom Reveal!
When we were house-hunting while I was pregnant with Lincoln, one thing that really sold us on our current home is that we’d have a dedicated play space. When we toured the model, we couldn’t believe how large the game room/play room/bonus room was. Though it has slanted ceilings since it’s technically a finished attic, it has a ton of natural ...
Opalhouse at Target
One of my readers reached out to me a couple of weeks ago asking me if I had checked out the Opalhouse line at Target -- opal what?! So of course her note piqued my interest and it was love at first sight. This line is Anthropologie meets Palm Beach and I just love all of the pieces (once again, Target, just take all my money). I'm sharing with ...
Moving to Houston? Consider this Beautiful Community
This post is sponsored by Bridgeland, all thoughts and opinions are, as always, my own. Over the years, I’ve gotten quite an abundance of emails and messages about moving to Houston from many of my wonderful readers. As you all know, I moved to Houston in 2007 after having lived in a suburb of Toronto, Canada for 20 years of my life. To say it was ...

Friday Five
Happy Friday -- hope you enjoy today's five! O N E I’ve had some IKEA frames purchased for months with the intention of creating a gallery wall in our upstairs hallway. It will be all family photos, so it feels like a great fit to have it in the hall where all of our bedrooms are. The idea of hanging a gallery wall can be super intimidating with ...
