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…
Fall is my favorite season of all, so it’s no surprise I maximize my celebration of these colorful leaf shedding months to the fullest extent. For me, it goes far beyond a trip to the pumpkin patch or picking apples off a tree. This…
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)…
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…
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…
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…
There’s been a lot of changes happening within our home in the recent months. Fox has been growing like a weed, with full-blown opinions and tastes that change seemingly every day. And our newest, Charlie, has been learning new tricks whenever he wakes up…
A few weekends back I hit the thrift stores with my mom. We were on the lookout for some unique decor for the nursery, something I’d struggled with finding. Charlie’s room is a mixture of white, gray, blush, and sage, so the typical…
I hate to admit it, but Fox had never really slept in his bed until recently. I’d tried just about everything from Dockatot shifting, “big boy” bed with his original crib mattress, new bedding, new stuffed animals, a fancy nightlight, and more. Getting myself…
When I moved back to Buffalo in 2018, I felt like I was learning my city all over again. Not only was I showing my California-born and raised husband the 716 ropes, but a lot had also changed while I was away. Add the…
