It was a glorious weekend here in Maryland. I *think* Spring may have FINALLY arrived! We had the windows open, our daughter’s first lacrosse game of the season, nothing but running around in the fresh air. All weekend long. It was amazing. It was also a big weekend for another reason. My 6 year old […]

After getting my 4th email – just this week alone – about our monthly Craft Night, I thought perhaps it would be a good idea to devote an entire post to answer these FAQs;). By no means am I complaining – I love the idea that my girlfriends and I have inspired you all to […]

I took an informal Facebook poll a while back. Who likes to wake up early before the rest of their families, enjoy some quiet, maybe a hot cup of coffee (what’s THAT like?!), have some time to themselves before the day begins, and who rolls out of bed with the first call for “Mommy!” and […]

So I’ve been wanting to jump on this Washi Tape bandwagon for a while now. I figured, why not jump on it with my girlfriends and try it out together for our monthly craft night project? They were all on board, and we hit up Michaels to get a stash of different ones, and hung […]

Ok folks. I *may* have gone off the deep end with this one. I’ll let you be the judge. {But be kind! 😉 } You may recall we got our boy a bed recently and retired the crib once and for all. I saved the crib, for future nieces and/or nephews…or to do some fun […]

So I hosted our first Big Girl-Drop-off party yesterday for our 5 year old. I hadn’t really planned on posting about it, but after years of throwing big bashes where I serve huge meals to big groups of family and friends, stressing over trying to get the house clean with 3 little kids under my […]

If you’re a Facebook follower, you probably saw that yesterday was my sweet girl’s 5th Birthday. Good grief, is she cute or what? Sorry, I just love that picture:) Anyway, her first big girl party is this weekend. And by “Big Girl” I mean the first time we’re having friends of hers over, parents dropping […]

You might know I’m in the very early stages of our master bedroom makeover. I had some ideas, but nothing 100% solid. I knew the walls would be VERY neutral and light, and we have white bedding. From there, I wasn’t totally sure. I knew I wanted the curtains to be the focal point, so […]

FINALLY we had some spray paintin’ weather here this weekend! Been dying to get this super quick makeover done for weeks now, so when the weather hit 60 on Sunday (or close enough!), I grabbed this beautiful pink Valspar spray paint and primer in one (color: Frost Berry in Gloss)… …and this ugly beat up […]

Ah, my mantel. With our TV mounted above it, it’s always such fun to decorate. {Being 100% sarcastic, in case you didn’t pick up on that}. It’s literally been naked since I took down the LOVE letters and banner for Valentine’s Day. I decided enough was enough, I was going to figure this puppy out. […]
