Today Scott and I are celebrating our seven year anniversary! I just returned from the Haven conference, and I should be unpacking and doing laundry, but instead I've been looking back at the photos from our wedding day and reminiscing! And since I love to see other people's wedding photos, I thought maybe you would like to see some of my favorite photos from our big day! {All photos by BLF Photography} Right after we got engaged, we began looking for wedding venues. We both love the city, ... View the Post

How to Create a Magnetic Chalkboard Wall
I have loved chalkboards ever since I was a kid. It was always such a special treat anytime I had an opportunity to doodle on the board after school! So several years ago when I became aware that you could buy chalkboard paint for your home, I knew that my kids would some day have their very own chalkboard to doodle on! And then I learned about magnetic primer, and well...that sealed the deal! I realize that chalkboard walls are becoming quite common, but I always enjoy seeing how people ... View the Post
Super Dad & His Super Boys
I hope everyone out there had a wonderful Father's Day celebrating all of the special men in your lives! I wanted to take a brief break from posting about projects to share a few photos from our Father's Day weekend and tell you why my husband is a true Super Dad! As I write, Scott is at his first day of a new job, and I couldn't be more proud of him. Not because it's a great job {which it is!}, but because of the reasons he went in search of this new job in the first place - to have more ... View the Post
My First Time Using Chalk Paint – Challenges but Ultimate Success
Let me start by saying that I am no expert when it comes to painting furniture. In fact, that is an understatement! I had a bad experience back in law school when I cluelessly painted a cheap wood-laminate bookshelf using latex paint... the first coat went on ok, but when I tried to paint the second coat, each brush stroke just peeled up the paint from the first coat. It was a hot mess and I vowed that I would never paint furniture again! Fast forward ten years and I had gained a lot DIY ... View the Post
This Quick Tip Will Keep Your Pantry Organized
As I was putting away groceries the other day, it occurred to me how differently I approach that mundane task now than I used to. For years, putting away the groceries meant simply finding a place for everything on the pantry shelves - a box here, a box there, making room or just shoving a box in even if there wasn't room. Finally, I buckled down and spent several days completely emptying the pantry and fully reorganizing it from scratch. And that time investment paid off! When I stood ... View the Post
Easy Farm Animal Cupcakes
This week, I got to chaperone my first school field trip and join Beckett's kindergarten class on a trip to a farm for tractor rides and harvesting vegetables. We had such a great time, but little brother Cooper was very disappointed that he didn't get to join us. After all, he is the one who wants to be a farmer when he grows up. {Well, a farmer, a superhero, a construction guy, a fireman, married, and a dad, if you really want the full list of his future plans.} With all the talk about ...

Fall in Love With These Fall Leaf Projects
The school supplies are purchased, the days are slowly getting shorter, and a few leaves are already starting to fall from our trees. There may still be a few more weeks of summer, but there's no denying that autumn is on the way. And that makes this the perfect time to get a start on some simple and stylish fall decor projects. Each month, I team up with the All Things Creative team to round up some of our favorite creative ideas, and this month I think you're going to fall in love with this ... View the Post

So today I'm chatting about some of my favorite kinds of happy mail... and a few more things I like to get in the mail! My Favorite Things to Get in the ... View the Post
DIY Sheet Music Feature Wall + Free Printable Song Lyrics Posters
Remember that rock & roll themed playroom that I created for my boys in the former storage space under our basement stairs?! I hope you do, because it's one of my favorite spaces! We covered the ceiling in records, so when you stand at the door looking into the playroom, you see 45s as far as the eye can see - which is a pretty cool view {if I do say so myself}. But my favorite is actually the one you get if you walk into the playroom and look up above the door! That's where you see the ... View the Post
Backpacks For a Cause with Cricut
This is a sponsored post written by me on behalf of Cricut. All opinions are 100% mine. With everything going on in the world lately, I am more grateful than ever for our home where my family feels comfortable, safe, and secure. But imagine what it's like for a child where home doesn't provide that same sense of security. There are approximately 400,000 children in Foster Care nationwide, and for most children, their entry into the Foster Care system is an emergency situation resulting ... View the Post
