We just booked a spring break trip to Austin and I’m so excited because I can finally start thinking about wearing warmer clothes, spending time outside, and checking off my spring wishlist, one item at a time! I’m sure it’s obvious but winter in Chicago is long and brutal (and they say this year was mild)… especially for this Southern California transplant. I’m missing the beaches and fair weather more than ever so I’m infusing those elements into our…
Did you know kitchen styling was even a thing? Here’s my philosphy on giving your kitchen the most aesthetically pleasing vibe possible… when you’re buying something to decorate your kitchen with, make sure it’s usable and vice versa, when you need a certain item in your kitchen like a butter dish, make sure it’s visually pleasing. Your end result will be a beautifully styled kitchen that’s also functional.

Countertops for a kitchen, bathroom, or anywhere in your home can really make or break the design. Stone selections seem endless these days and the prices vary so widely that it’s really hard to get an idea of what something costs. I want to share with you all that I’ve learned through the process of searching for counters, not just what type of stone we considered for various reasons but also what the cost projections were for those different…

Lighting can be such a statement and when picking it out, you want it to reflect not only your home, but your personal style as well.

Ive put off writing this post for a while even though in stark contrast, I’ve felt so compelled to share because I truly know I’m not alone. 1 in 8 women struggle with infertility, whether it’s secondary infertility (as in my case) permanent infertility (also in my case) or first time unexplained infertility. I never imagined myself sitting here. Well actually,…
Can you believe Easter is almost here? I’m finding that the kids are getting tougher and tougher to find cute things for their Easter Basket as they’re getting older but I did manage to find a bit for both to make this year’s Easter just as great as years before… I’m trying to hang on to these holidays because I’m sure my years of playing Easter bunny and Santa are numbered.
I typically select a theme and run with it,…
I’ve found myself reaching for greens this spring and today only further inspired my shopping habits. In honor of St. Patty’s day and the newest green trends I’ve been seeing, I rounded up some of my favorite shades of green.
I’ll keep this post short and sweet so without further ado…
So do you love these new hues as much as I do? I’m finding myself specifically drawn to the…
