So there’s a few things that have been going on around our home lately, and they were so relevant to us, I thought you might also find them useful to you. First up: Manners. I think they’re so important. I realize that everyone views this differently with their children. But I made some charts to…

diy doily garland: valentines + just because
Confession: When I grow up, {Okay. Really, when my kids grow up. Sometimes, I have to remind myself that I am, in fact, the adult.} I kind of want to be remembered as the mom who went all out for the silly stuff. I want to be the one who helped her children cherish the…
sweet potato dumplings
So I have this friend who is an ah. ma. zing cook. No. Really. As in, chica could have her own cooking show and put all the professionals to shame, amazing. You may remember this little post from last summer. If she had her own show (and she should) Kay’s Kitchen would be the title….

an inspiration board : master bath
Hello all you wondermous people! I thought I’d start out today with a little design confession on my part {and of course, some eye candy.} I’ve kind of secretly been itching to redo a bathroom. Okay. Maybe even my own. When I say redo, I mean I want to gut the sucka out and go…
emerson’s bejweled birthday party
This weekend, we had Emerson’s grand shebang. As I mentioned in a few earlier posts, I waver violently between the pay-someone-else-to-do-this-crap-and-call-it-a-day and oh-em-gee-let’s-build-a-lemonade-stand-while-we-turn-cartwheels-and-hand-mold-our-own-balloons variety. This was the lemonade cartwheels handmade balloons kind. We had a blast. But it also kind of made me remember why the pay someone else kind is one smart route to take…
amnesia + mutant ninja babies
It hit me the other day. It’s something I’ve realized for a while, but it kind of smacked me in the face, this time around. A real epiphany. A mack truck barreling it’s way down the nearest proverbial exit ramp where I sat, completely unaware. I may or may not have been enjoying a nice healthy…
a mini adventure + happy birthday emerson
We interrupt our regularly scheduled program for a momsy kinda post. I was going to be all clever, and title this post ‘trainspotting.’ Because it sounded like a clever way to talk about what we did this weekend. But I googled it first, and since we didn’t shoot up heroin and or other illegal narcotics,…
make me smile
Happy Friday, everyone! In honor of everyone’s favorite day of the week, I thought I’d share a little board of some favorite products, projects + ideas in hopes to inspire …and just because! Basically, they make me smile! 1. Elbow patches! Who doesn’t love them? Particularly metallic elbow patches! This sweater is pretty swell,…
