Easy Spring Centerpiece

Yes, we’re under a Winter Storm Warning as I type this post. But the Spring bug has hit me hard, and I don’t care if snow is on its way, it’s SPRING inside my house! I’m having so much fun decorating for spring this year, and I think it’s because for the first time ever, […]

DIY Spring Banner

They’re calling for a big snowstorm mid week, but that’s not stopping me from busting out my spring decor around here! I mean, we’re IN March, that’s good enough reason for me. I was taking a look at my bird cage thing-a-ma-jiggy, you might remember from previous posts – the one I picked up at […]

Girls Craft Night #12: Spring Crafts

Spring was the name of the game last night, at our girls’ monthly get together. Wreaths, topiaries, adorable Easter art…super cute stuff to share with you! I decided to go with an incredibly simple and easy tulip wreath. I pinned it a while ago, thinking how lovely it was – come to find out it’s […]

The Gallery Wall of Cards

I’ve been reeeally wanting to give our master bedroom a makeover for a while now. It’s perfectly fine the way it is – nothing wrong with it, really. It just looks like it could belong to pretty much anyone, and I hate that. I want our home to tell our story. For guests to walk […]

Just One More Night

We did it. This weekend, we got our son a big boy bed finally. He’ll be 4 in July, and it was time. He was getting pretty cramped in that crib, and it’s been in the back of our minds to get a bed for him for months now. So when we were reading the […]

Trash to Treasure: My “Free” Mirror

If you’re a regular ND reader, you probably know how my mom seems to have this endless stash of stuff to give me. Seriously, every time I’m over there, I leave with at least something to spruce up. A while ago she gave me this old mirror she was getting rid of. It was black […]

Tips for Family Room Seating

It has dawned on me MANY times since we recently gave our family room a complete makeover, just how much smarter we got this time around when it comes to seating. You see, we bought our ginormous sectional when we bought this house, 7 years ago, thinking how perfect it would be for entertaining. We […]

Superbowl Party…and the Best, Easiest Crab Dip EVER!

How ’bout them Ravens, hon?! (For those of you who aren’t fluent in Baltimore-ese, we like to say ‘hon’ a lot). What a game last night! Needless to say, it’s a good day to live in this town, and we couldn’t be prouder of our boys. Since we have parties pretty much every Sunday during […]

Girls Craft Night #11: Valentine’s Day Projects

The girls came over last night for our monthly craft night – always such a great time! I get asked about Craft Night a lot, and we have new readers who might not know the history, so let me summarize quickly what it’s all about. Once a month, I send out an email to my […]

Juggling It All

First of all, I have to say a HUGE thank you for all the well wishes, prayers, and thoughtfulness from you guys this week! In case you don’t follow me on Facebook, I had sinus surgery on Wednesday. Still feeling pretty crummy, so stuffy I can’t even believe it, and some all over achiness…but that’s […]
