“You can’t use up creativity. The more you use, the more you have.” - Maya Angelou | I am so grateful to have grown up in a creative home. While I’m sure my parents noticed creativity in me from an early age, I also know that they made it a priority for me too. I did dance lessons, art lessons and music lessons most of my childhood….

When people hear that T.J. and I have been photographers for the last 10, they often say things like “Wow! You must have so many great photos of your family!” And that’s true! But you’d never know it if you walked into our house. I think that because I already post a lot of our images here….

We live in a little 1,050 sq ft house that was built in 1929, and we love it with our whole hearts. But let me tell you, in the last four years as we've added two kids to our family, there are moments when it feels so small…

My Mom turned 60 this week and as a surprise for her birthday, I gave her patio a little makeover with help from Tuesday Morning.

June’s room has been arranged so many different ways in the last four years. But here's what I've learned, and to be honest love, about kid's rooms: they can change just as quickly as your little one does, and it's awesome that way.

If you had told me this time last year that my brother and his family would be our actual next door neighbors come Christmas, I would have laughed. Not because that wouldn't have been amazing, of course! 

The beginning of this month marked nine years of living in our little 1929 home. That sounds crazy to me! To think that when we purchased our first home nine years ago, we didn't have any kids, or cats, or clue what we would be doing nine years later!

When Minted reached out to feature some of their art, I don't think I've ever replied faster to an email because I love Minted. We've used them before for our Christmas cards, and other things in our house, and I always jump at the chance to get my hands on real, framed art!

In case you haven't noticed, rainbows are everywhere these days and I. Am. Loving. It. They're expressions of joy and happiness and fun and rejoicing and promise, and I love all of those things. Like, a lot.

Sunny's nursery is very small. Only 56sq. feet to be exact. And so, I started by deciding upon the three main items: the crib, the rug, and the chair.

Having a little extra time on my hands today, I gave my house plants their biannual shower. I find over the fall/winter months, my houseplants get very dusty and a shower is just what they need to be looking happy and healthy again.

Well friends, you picked a good blog to read, because I have an announcement to make! Drum roll please....

..that's just motherhood sometimes. I am learning to lean into it and be okay with tossing everything out the window and just enjoying what the day has for me instead.

If you've been around here for any amount of time, it should come as no surprise to you that I love to go thrifting. Finding amazing, unique items at second hand shops, for a fraction of their original price, is one of my favorite things to do.

I normally shy away from giveaway posts, but when I got a message from Saranoni about doing one with them, I literally couldn't email them back fast enough to say "Yes! Count me in!"
