When we put the boys’ room together this summer, I knew I needed a rug. Creating the loft suddenly provided a lot of empty space {99% of the time, its covered in toys} and the floor was calling out for something dynamic to fill it. I also needed to balance the overall feel of the…
what I wore…
Let’s just go ahead and settle this now. I’m not a big “what I wore” kinda gal. I wasn’t always that way. This one time, like, ten years ago, I was kind of big deal in the I-think-I’m-cute-world also known as the alternate universe of my head. And then I had babies. I’m just too busy…

the living room corral-er: a how-to.
Have you guys checked out the awesome Starfish Jewelry giveaway we’re having this week? Be sure to do so! You won’t regret it!
