If you’re coming on over from my friend Lindsay’s blog, Aratari at Home, welcome! Wasn’t her tablescape inspiring? If you’re not, welcome to your first stop on the Home Sweet Valentine Blog Hop! We have six ladies sharing their Valentine’s decor inspo today, so…
I’m going to say two words and I want you to think of an image that represents those words in your head: Valentine’s Day. Did you immediately think of something red? There’s a good chance you did! Even though I usually keep my decor…
It should come as no surprise that I love creating. In fact, it’s the entire reason why I started this blog! Over the years I’ve tried my hand at scrapbooking, jewelry making, woodworking — you name it, I’ve probably tried it! I often felt…
Welcome friends! Whether you’ve made your way over from Lynne at My Family Thyme or you’re a regular here, I’m excited to be sharing my traditional vintage farmhouse Christmas dining room tour with you today! This post is a part of the Celebrate Christmas…

Holiday shopping sure is polarizing. Some people love to be out and about finding things for the ones they love, while others want to avoid crowds and venturing out into the snow. Regardless of what side you fall into, I think we can all…
I’ve always loved putting together a tablescape, but the Blue + Earth Toned Fall Tablescape I did in collaboration with Tattered Tulip really took the cake. I’ve never had such an overwhelming response (really, this post is still my most popular article to date)…
I’m known to break out the fall decor as soon as September 1st rolls around. Sometimes earlier, but I don’t always admit to that! I’m not a fan of summer, so I count down the days until pumpkins and all things earth tone can…
Around Christmas I asked my husband to pop on over to my blog and spotlight some of his favorite things I’ve ever gifted him. With Father’s Day coming up we’re doing it again, but this time we’re focusing on some cool small businesses. Check…
Around this time last year I was in West Los Angeles celebrating Chinese New Year with Chef Katie Chin and Ling Ling Asian Kitchen. Chef Chin not only cooked up a mean family-style dinner, but she also taught us all about Chinese New Year…
The women in my life fly off my shopping list like the speed of sound when it comes time to holiday shop. The men are usually left over, leaving me scrambling to figure out what they’d like to see under the tree. With men,…
All summer long it seemed like our family was spread out throughout the house avoiding touching anyone or anything — this may sound personal, but I swear it was just because of the lack of air conditioner! Now that the temperatures are significantly dropping…
Happy October! The beginning of this month marks the rolling out of our Halloween decorations, scary movie marathons, and the start of fireplace season. Since this is my husband’s first October in Buffalo, I prepped him with a few stories from the past about…
Tomorrow we head back to the West Coast after a 3-week long stay in Buffalo with family. I don’t know about you, but if I had house guests for 21 days, I’d literally be tearing my hair out of my head ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Add a toddler…
If you haven’t guessed it already, I *love* fall. I was born in September and some days it seems like apple cider runs through my veins. Living in California has major perks, but every year that rolled around when I first moved to town…
