A blog about nourishing and loving ourselves and our families.
Crafty home decor projects are oftentimes my happy place. I like crafts that my mind can find some stillness, and that can help me decompress. This one fits in the middle somewhere, the majority of it is very soothing, while the type A part of me struggled with the graduations (is that the right word?)… [read more]
I will so have to try this soon! I don’t have a fancy silhouette and paying someone to monogram is very expensive, so this is the perfect alternative. -Stephanie Ok, bear with me, tutorials aren’t really my thing – and actually this is my first tutorial with step-by-step pictures . Onto the goods! I was shopping with my Mommy… [read more]
There is a new little home design store called Peculiar Goods in my town that I popped into the other day. I am so grateful that Penelope is in preschool 5 days a week and I do things like pop into a store and browse for 10 minutes in between meetings and errands. I used to… [read more]

It is a Pinterest kind of Christmas around here. I mean really, do you even remember what the world was like before Pinterest? Last year, I gave away an entire bin of decorations, in an effort to just have less stuff. We live in a house with over 2000 sq feet and in a matter… [read more]
I was so inspired by Penelope loving learning her ABC’s that I wanted to do something to keep that fire going. I had a ton of fun making Penelope’s ABC art for her newly redesigned playroom. It was a little time consuming, and a tad logistically difficult, since the painted ones needed 2 to 4… [read more]
Drum roll please…Penelope’s new playroom! Here are my before photos, in case you missed them. This project came together fairly quickly. I made the ABC wall art, the Canvas Rainbow wall art, the bean bag chairs in the tent ( I will show you tutorials for all, in the coming weeks), and painted the hallway… [read more]

I am really on a show and tell kick, aren’t I? I have been meaning to show you these pictures forever now. This is what Penelope’s nursery looks like. She has never slept in here, not even once, but it is a very pretty, clothes and toy storage room. The second I found out I… [read more]
