I took a lovely few days off this weekend- no babies, no blog… Just a husband, a picnic, and a very relaxing pool. It was glorious! I am excited to be back this week and have a whole bunch to share with you. While I get settled, a nest baby shower for your Monday morning.
I [...]

Although the Crew-Cuts line may run a bit out of my baby clothes price range, they sure do have extremely inspiring photo styling. Their latest catalog makes taking the kids to the beach this weekend seem like a wonderfully charming idea.

And now my lovelies will you also say,¬¨‚Ć “yes” this month, to picnicking outdoors with me?
A few of my very [...]

I held these flowers…
Stood in this church…
Sat on this couch laughing with friends…
Danced this waltz, choreographed by my husband…
Took over this store and treated our guests to our favorite drinks in lieu of a cocktail hour…
… and married this Mr. Right!
A 7 year lapse may be the cause of a few out-of-date design [...]

Last week I was quite inspired by the tutorial for fabric tape I found here, originally found here.
Quickly remembering a perfect loose piece of fabric I had been saving for just an occasion as this- a vintage, stripped, worn and soft pillowcase. I grabbed it out and was thrilled to whip up a batch of [...]

Another quick sneak peak from the party last weekend. We created a homemade photo booth that was a blast and cost less than $10!
A good majority of my reader questions in the past have been on creating a homemade photo booth cheaply, so here is my long overdue answer for those unanswered questions.

I am really excited to share today’s feature with you. Jessica from a little gray sent in these pictures of a little girls birthday party she recently threw for friends, it quickly became known as, “polkapallozza”. The birthday party was bright and cheery and just a perfect look for spring.
Jessica found inspiration from a few [...]

The Sherbert & Spice party this weekend was such a great joy for me. It is one of my favorite designs so far in the 30×30 challenge. I am working with a new photographer Jackie Wonders- who I still cannot believe is shooting for me as her work is insanely amazing. Being awesome takes time [...]

As promised here is the somewhat impractical but oh-so lovely food accessory from the recent sly fox baby shower. May I present for your baking pleasure… bread spoons.
Make impractically lovely bread-spoons yourself…
If you have been around here at all you know that I do not actually “make food”. My spoons start as all my [...]

A few weeks ago I feel in love with this idea of having a picnic club. Shortly after I swooned over this picnic so glamorously designed. My new obsession for picnics has been firmly sealed after seeing this sweetly done urban one early this week.

My own picnic design has quickly followed this new [...]

Standing at the center of our recent shower was a sweet imprint of a sly little fox. It was made into multiple different pieces for the baby shower, one being this free printable baby shower banner, in a foxy boy green. The imprint was originally a stamp made by stamp it up. I stamped, scanned [...]
