If you write it…they will come.
Hello. So…whatcha been up to? Oh, I’ve been enjoying the holidays…a little too much! My December stats for the ol’ blog are stinkin’ big time, but can you blame me when this is who I’ve been hanging out with?? And Glenn has also been off for vacation. And while I’m sure most wives would be able to get MORE done on vacation with him off...
Read MoreTiny Hot Cocoa Packets
I’m probably going to be regurgitating a lot of crafty finds that I come across online for you all over the next few days and/or weeks…I’m very busy with a couple of new clients (woo hoo!) and with getting ready for the Christmas fairs around here, so I’m looking for inspiration like crazy! Plus with “the economy how it is” (aren’t you sick of that...
Read MoreThe Tackiest Thing Ever
Okay, I just couldn’t help myself with the title. Only tacky because I’m talking about tape…get it? I’ve been thinking about Christmas a lot lately; buying gifts, packaging them, mailing them, making cards, and also making cute packaging and craft fair items for Lillie + James. How can I make my gifts or packaging stand out? I’m really bad at wrapping...
Read MoreEmbroidery Hoop-La
Are you a stitcher? Embroidery is becoming very popular and I’ve been noticing it more and more in home decor (and not just on throw pillows!). Have you noticed this trend as much as I have? Hanging an embroidery hoop is an easy way to fill an awkward space, and it is a great way to add some personalization to your decor. I think the idea is just absolutely adorable, inexpensive to...
Read MoreThe Holidays are Here!
Can you believe it?? We’ve been counting the days around here! Why am I so excited?

Read MoreBoo!
Aren’t we scary?? Halloween 2007 at Glenn’s sister’s Halloween party – I was a {sexy} French Maid, but…I decided to be dead. I always like to do that (probably because I’m so good at the makeup by now!) – whatever I am, I’m dead, or at least make myself look dead for Halloween, ha! And Glenn actually wore eyeliner for his Johnny Depp/Captain...
Read MoreHere’s What I Did This Weekend!
Happy Monday, everyone! Well, I guess that is sort of an oxymoron…can Monday be happy? I kid, I kid. What did you do this weekend? Did you have a big to-do list or did you take it off to relax? I like to do a bit of both, but we’re usually pretty home-bound on the weekends with just the three of us hanging out, working on projects here and there and then cuddling on the...

Read MoreAbout Me
I'm an interior designer, but I live in the country. I like it that way. I'm also a firefighter's wife, new mom and a new homeowner and I like that even better. A close second is a pretty and affordable space...and I mean a REALLY affordable space. Because I believe good design can be for EVERYONE!
