It doesn't have to be perfect to be beautiful
This is our the space formerly known as the Playroom. Now that my boys are older and only play with legos and roller blades and SCUBA gear and iPhones we don’t have that many actual toys. But we still use this room a lot for guests and spend the night parties that the boys have. [...]

I hosted a girls weekend at my house last week and it was pure, unadulterated, 100% enjoyment–even the getting ready for six girls to be at my house all weekend. I love hosting LOVE LOVE LOVE it. I try to focus on doing things I like and I try to avoid doing things I hate–even [...]

Pillow Shams at our Goodwill are only 79 cents. I used to pass them up thinking I needed a pair to make use of them, now I grab them if I like them and put a regular bed pillow {they have a fancy name, don’t they} in it and use it on the sofa. [...]
Last week I saw a photo over at Casa Sugar and I couldn’t get the idea out of my head. I love projects where you don’t have to think or spend much money. Hot glue, 50ish spoons and 15 minutes. I made one out of blue and green spoons too. I like the white one [...]
