Do you ever feel like you’re learning way too many big life lessons for a person your age? Do you always feel like you should know that already? We went camping this weekend and I did that again. We left on Thursday morning and by Wednesday, mid-day-ish I had already completely lost my composure and […]

Hi Everyone! I got to spend the morning on a field trip to a farm with Kennedy’s class today. Hay rides, ziplines, baby animals, the whole deal. As a little girl with a (soon to be) horsey/animal/farm room, you can bet she loved it. So I’m back. And a cup of tea and a painkiller […]

I found myself with my sign-maker hat on the other day again. We’ve been slowly working on making our back deck off the master bedroom a little more comfortable, so I had deck decorations (that sounds silly!) on my mind. There aren’t many easy projects that have as much impact as a happy little sign, […]

I change my perspective on this front hall project every five minutes, I swear. One moment it’s the most significant and symbolic thing in my life and needs to get done PRONTO and the next it’s no big deal. It’s just a hallway. Of course, now that Chris has done his (big) part to help […]

It’s been a few weeks since I’ve taken you outside for a little tour, so I thought it was time for an update. First of all, here’s the world out front. I won my little battle against the weeds in the path and we’ve trimmed up some of the hedges. There’s a fun hot-pink something-or-other […]

This, my friends, is an idea post. Not an execution post. Not a how-to. And it’s about my giant chalkboard that I made a couple of months ago. My giant chalkboard that I finally got hung up in the kitchen on the blank wall where I needed something cheery. And then I left it there […]

I was still feeling like I needed a little more of a Summer feeling around the house, just to cheer things up a bit, so I moved a few things around in the dining room the other day. Plus my peonies bloomed! So I needed to put them, well, pretty much everywhere. On the table […]

Have you seen the “Deconstructed” line of furniture now available at Restoration Hardware? They are carrying a ton of different styles in this line and they seem to be adding more all the time. I personally haven’t seen anything in this style in anyone’s home yet, but it must be the latest craze if Restoration […]

When I was growing up, my mom used to love shopping at thrift stores, and still does. I, on the other hand, used to not love it so much. Actually I found it an icky and traumatizing experience. Dreaded it. Of course now, it’s kind of part of the blogging deal, right? That’s just something […]

Happy Memorial Day weekend to all my American friends! In Canada, we had our holiday last weekend so it’s now (un)officially Summer here. We’ve been spending soooo much time out in the garden and I wanted to give a little Summer love to the inside of our house too. Just a little bit though. I’m […]
