When you have two boys less than two years apart in age, they are bound to have similar interests, and in our house that currently equals TRAINS! When Beckett turned three a few months ago, he requested a Thomas the Train cake and I happily obliged. Then last week when I asked Cooper what kind of a cake he wanted for his second birthday, I wasn't surprised at all to hear the same answer - a train! But I didn't want to simply make him a duplicate of Beckett's cake, so I came up with a fun ... View the Post

{entertaining with style} A Simple Elmo Cake & Basic Cake Decorating Tips
I pride myself on being pretty well rounded when it comes to the world of arts and crafts, but if there is one thing that I know almost nothing about, it's cake decorating. I'm not proud of this, especially considering that when I was little my mom was a professional cake decorator and taught cake decorating classes. Now that I have kids, I want to be able to create fun cakes for them like my mom did for my sister and I when we were little. So this year I asked my mom to help me create a simple ... View the Post
Creating an Organized Baking Drawer
Happy Friday, friends! I am so excited to bring you the first official installment of Five Minute Friday!! If you missed last week's introduction to Five Minute Friday, you can read all about it here {and see a collection of 16 awesome five minute projects}. I've told you before about my case of Organizing A.D.D. - where I start one organizing project and then suddenly find myself clearing out a drawer that I didn't even know need reorganizing. We'll it happened again! I started ... View the Post
Five Ways to Get Your Home Organized With Cricut Joy
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
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
Ombre Cupcakes – Perfect for Valentine’s Day
While my favorite colors are shades of blues and greens, my younger sister is a fan of anything red, pink or purple! To help her celebrate her birthday last week, I made her cupcakes with pink icing - three shades of pink icing to be exact. The ombre cupcakes turned out so pretty that I had to share them with you because they would also be perfect for Valentine's Day! I started by making two dozen strawberry flavored cupcakes, and I baked them in purple and pink polka dot cupcake papers. I've ... View the Post
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
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 ...

How to Make Easy & Adorable Ballerina Cupcakes
I love having two boys and I really enjoy planning mustache bashes and creating train cakes for them! But, as you might suspect, there isn't a whole lot of pink and ruffly happening at our house. And that's why, when my sister asked if I could find a way to make cupcakes into ballerinas, I jumped this girly challenge! As soon as I heard ballerina cupcakes, I immediately envisioned turning an upside down cupcake liner into a tutu - but how to make that work was another issue. At the ... 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
First Birthday Mustache Bash!
I know probably every parent feels like the first year flies by, but I really can't believe that Cooper is one. ONE! It seems like just yesterday that I was announcing his birth here on the blog, and showing you precious photos of Beckett meeting his new little brother for the very first time {those photos still bring tears to my eyes!}. A couple of weekends ago we invited all of our family, and our friends with kids near Cooper's age, to help us celebrate this milestone birthday with a ... View the Post
