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

{link party} The Creative Circle – Week 31
Welcome to The Creative Circle link party - a place to share and find inspiration for your home! Kathy and I so appreciate you coming to party with us each week, and we love visiting your blogs to see your latest creations. Sometimes my favorite picks from the link party follow a theme - three projects that illustrate a similar concept. This week was not one of those weeks - or least I didn't think it was until I saw these three photos together...apparently circles are catching my eye ... View the Post
Front Porch Halloween Decorations
The boys are four and five now, and if I could freeze time, I would. These are such fun ages, and I love how excited they get about everything - especially each holiday! For weeks, they've been begging me to decorate for Halloween. We always have quite a bit of holiday decor inside, but this year they also requested front porch Halloween decorations as well. Last year, I decorated the porch with some fun Dia de Los Muertos finds, but the boys really wanted a traditional Halloween porch ... View the Post
Stylish Home Gym Ideas for Small Spaces
This post is sponsored by Cost Plus World Market, which you know is one of my favorite places to shop! This post also contains affiliate links. Before having kids, we used one of the bedrooms in our house as a home gym. It wasn't very stylish, but it was certainly spacious. Fast forward a few years, and that exercise room became a kid's bedroom and we pared down our workout equipment and shoved it {quite literally} into the corner of the guest room. It's taken me nearly four years to finally ... 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 ...

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
Mustache Bash First Birthday Party Invitation
I'm sorry it's been so quiet on the blog this week! Things have been really busy around here, which is good news because it means I'll have a lot to share very soon. In the meantime, I thought I'd give you a little sneak peek of one of the projects that has been occupying my time... Cooper turns one tomorrow!! I really can't believe how fast this year has flown by, but it's so fun to see him turning into a little boy right before our eyes. He's talking more and more, getting closer to walking, ...

DIY Numbered Storage Bins
Beckett is two and a half, and it is such a wonderful age! He is so curious and eager to learn new things, and he asks the best questions! He can sing the alphabet and counts really well, but he doesn't yet recognize all of the letters and numbers, so it was important to me, in planning the design for his new room, to find a way to incorporate the alphabet and numbers to help him learn. To stay true to the vintage vibe of the room, I created typewriter key alphabet flashcards that hang above the ... View the Post

Five Minute Friday!
TGIF! I have a big announcement today that I am very excited about! So without further ado, let me introduce you to a new weekly feature on the blog that I am calling Five Minute Friday! I am always working on big projects around our house, whether they be decorating a room or organizing an entire closet. At the same time, however, there are just as many little projects that get done while my kids are eating lunch or while I'm chatting on the phone, and often times I struggle with whether those ...
