This is a sponsored post written by me on behalf of Cricut. All opinions are 100% mine. Cricut has long been established as the ultimate crafting tool! And while I get my craft on from time to time, I've always used my Cricut cutting machine primarily for organizing. While I love my Cricut Explore Air (and am coveting a Cricut Maker for it's ability to cut even more materials), the truth is that both machines are much more powerful than what I need for the majority of my projects. I love ... View the Post

Sesame Street Birthday Party Ideas
I am relieved happy to report that our second attempt at Beckett's birthday party was a huge success! {If you missed all the drama, you can read the full story of why the first party had to be cancelled, leaving me in tears.} This past Saturday, we managed to entertain 30+ toddlers without too much chaos, and I heard more than one little boy declare it "the best party ever!" on his way out the door. Now I fully realize that this is one of those "you say that to all the girls" ... View the Post
How to Create a Custom Door Label with Cricut
A year after completing the makeover of our master bathroom, the barn door on our closet remains one of my favorite details of the space! Based on your comments, it seems to be one of your favorite features as well. Over time, a lot of you have asked me how we added the "Dressing Room" label to the barn door, so today I wanted to share the easy DIY tutorial. I created this custom door label using my Cricut electronic cutter, which is one of the most versatile and fun tools I own for decor, ... View the Post
Easy DIY Party Backdrops
We held Beckett's Sesame Street themed birthday party at our local rec center rather than at our house, which was great for hosting a large group of toddlers, but it also meant that we had only a limited amount of time to set up. As a result, I needed to keep the decorations simple. As you saw in yesterday's post with all the party details, the decorations were limited to the brightly colored table cloths, the Sesame Street inspired "street" signs on the craft and food tables, and the two DIY ...

DIY Sesame Street Bean Bag Toss Game
On Monday, I shared my sad story of Beckett's birthday party being cancelled last weekend because the rec center employee who was supposed to be there for our after-hours rental never showed up. We were locked out and had to turn thirty kids away. But tomorrow is take two, and we expect that this time the party will go off without a hitch. {Fingers crossed!!} Since Beckett absolutely loves Sesame Street, it was an obvious choice as the theme for his party this year. I wanted to keep all ... View the Post
A Simple Sesame Street Craft Project for Toddlers
Earlier this week I shared the details of Beckett's Sesame Street themed second birthday party, including the simple craft project that I created for the kids. Today I wanted to show you how quick and easy it was to prepare this craft project using my Cricut cutter. When I originally came up with the idea of doing a craft project for the party, my plan had been to cut out the different facial features for five or six different Sesame Street characters and to have baskets of eyes, noses and ...

{gifts with style} Beckett’s Big Brother Kit
A few weeks back, I shared a sneak peek of one of the special gifts I made for Beckett to give him when our new baby arrived - a custom designed board book featuring hand drawn animal silhouettes. Today I'm back to show you the entire Big Brother Kit that we gave to him at the hospital after Cooper was born. The idea for the Big Brother Kit started with my desire to make Beckett a special Big Brother shirt using iron-on transfer paper. I bought a plain black t-shirt from ... View the Post
Organizing Kids Toys with Labels that Are Easy to Update
Raise your hand if you love to label ALL. THE. THINGS? Me too! Labeling is one of the most important steps in the process of creating an organized space, because it makes it easy for everyone in the family to find what they need, and makes it much easier to put everything away where it belongs. But not all labels are created equal. A label is only good if it's accurate, so it's important to make labels easy to update for those spots in the house where the contents are likely to change ...

Pretty Pantry Labels Three Ways + FREE PRINTABLE LABELS
Last week I shared my five steps for creating an organized and pretty pantry, and I gave you a tour of our pantry space. Over a year after first completing our pantry makeover, the space is functioning just as well today as it did on day one - and I believe we have the labels to thank for that! Without labels, our pantry would just be a sea of matching white bins. I would have a pretty good idea of what goes where, since I organized it to start with, but imagine my poor kids and husband! They ... View the Post
Restaurant Kit for Eating Out with Little Ones
Eating out with young children can be a challenge, but Scott and I like to live on the wild side. Of course, it was a little easier when it was just Beckett, but even now that we are a family of four, we still venture out to restaurants on a fairly regular basis. Every once in awhile we end up having to ask for our food to go if the kids decide not to cooperate, but usually Beckett and Cooper are on their best behavior and manage to charm everyone at the surrounding tables. For me, the biggest ... View the Post
{organizing with style} Project Paint Storage and a Free Printable
To say we have a lot of latex paint might be an understatement! When we bought our home, the builder left us a touch up kit with 2 quarts of each color of paint used throughout the house (including the original wall colors, the trim, ceilings, and closet interior paints). Additionally, we have since repainted many of the rooms in the house, resulting in a lot more leftover paint (and in the case of the ombre stripes in the nursery we used five different colors). Until a few weeks ... View the Post
{Denver style} The Redevelopment of Denver’s Union Station
One of the cool perks of my job as an attorney is that I often get an insider's view of some of the exciting development and redevelopment projects happening around Denver and throughout the state of Colorado. If you live in Denver, or have visited in the last couple of years, you've probably seen the major construction going on around Union Station. There's a ton of great information about the project out there, but it seems like most of the people I talk to around town don't know ... View the Post
