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)…
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.…
When we moved back to Buffalo we decided to look into renting rather than owning a home. Tyler is not from the area and I wanted to make sure he was happy in whatever neighborhood we ended up in. Now that we know without…
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…
After the snow thawed this spring, I took a look at our yard and winced. I am lucky enough to live on a beautifully landscaped street, but ours needed serious help. With the rain finally letting up and National Garden Week’s arrival, I started…
Tyler and I don’t get out enough for date nights. I think sometimes we are both so tired from the chaos of the kids, work, and general life responsibilities that we fall into staying at home. Lately we’ve expressed to each other that we…
Our family recently had the opportunity to preview the new Explore & More Museum at Buffalo’s Canalside where we dug deeper into the history of Buffalo and used our creative minds to build and play! From a 2-story waterfall to an “ice” rink you…
Another Mother’s Day for the books, but my first as a mother of two! I started out the holiday with a Muffins with Mom breakfast at Fox’s school. I’m so grateful for the teachers and staff that so thoughtfully put this together for all…
Since the very first time we put Fox in the bathtub, he screamed at the top of his lungs the second water touched his face and hair. I could tell that he was genuinely terrified of water. Fox is fearless in every sense of…
Our Charlie was due to arrive March 9th. Starting around 20 weeks of pregnancy, I started to get very painful contractions that came about every 2-5 minutes, so by the end of February I was completely freaking out. I was convinced that I wouldn’t…
You’ve probably heard a lot about energy conservation for years and years, and if you’re anything like me, you might have figured you were pretty limited in the actual amount of energy you and your family can actually conserve. But the truth is, there…
We did it. Tyler and I have been wanting to do an escape room for 4 years and we finally made it a date night reality. We visited Locked Up Escape Games here in Buffalo where we escaped a serial killer (with only 1:30…
