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 remember rolling up in my light tennis shoes, thin leggings, and t-shirt fresh from California as we moved back to Buffalo. I threw off my seatbelt and jumped out of the car straight into snow — brrr! The next morning as I dug…
There’s a trend I noticed when scrolling through Pinterest looking for quotes to use on my latest project: Inspirational quotes are frequently laced with a stab at others. Now that I’ve said it, I bet you’ll notice it a lot more! Take these for…
This is a sponsored conversation written by me on behalf of Cricut. The opinions and text are all mine. I still vividly remember walking through the craft store in Ohio more than 10 years ago ogling the Cricut on the shelf (and all…
There are so many responsibilities that come with being a homeowner. Our homeowner’s insurance agency called me recently and asked me to cut away the branches from my roof and provide proof when it was complete. It got me creating a mental check list…
It’s been a few weeks since we closed on our very first home and I figured it was about time to bring the news over here to share! Here are the deets in a short + sweet format. House Hunting We put an offer…
When it comes to anything tech-related, I usually leave the expertise to Tyler. But when it comes to monitoring my baby boys, I take the reigns and dig thoroughly to make sure it meets my extremely high expectations. There’s no room for error when…
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…
My husband Tyler was backing up photos from over the years recently. We went deep down memory lane from our early days when he was on Warped Tour and I was a waitress on Elmwood to our wedding on a mountain top and the…
Admittedly, when I made a baby registry for Fox I picked items solely by their looks. When I was wrapping up the list I realized almost all the major items were from Graco! I already knew they were beautiful products, but it was time…
Every weekend I take Fox shopping with me — whether it be for groceries, necessary errands, or just for fun. It’s something we’ve started up since his little brother was born as a bonding moment for just the two of us. We frequently stop…
Confession time: I’ve had a habit of buying clothes for future children since I was 18 years old. I specifically remember heading into the Fashion Outlets of Niagara Falls and being compelled to pick up a baby’s faux leather jacket for just 0.99 cents.…
I’ve made it no secret that nursing my first child didn’t work out. One of the major obstacles I faced was that the professionals that were there to guide me made me feel judged and inadequate. There’s very few things I’ve experienced that were…
The other day I rounded up the family and set off for the park down the street. This isn’t your ordinary park. Well, maybe it is but not to me. It’s the same park I’d catch a ride to on bicycle pegs with the…
