WELCOME to the  BLOG

We were snuggled on the couch to watch Beauty and the Beast, all five of us piled onto a single section of the sofa. I laughed to myself about the expanse of available seating to my right when those first fairytale words rang out: “Once upon a time in a far away land…”  We were […]

This fantastic piece by Leila of Like Mother, Like Daughter calls us forth to evangelize with beauty, and to step away from a “war of words” fought emptily by lawn signs and statement banners. In her article, she posits, “If we merely post a “respect life” sign for the benefit of perfect strangers or our […]

Many moons ago I was mindlessly scrolling through Instagram, as one does, and stopped dead in my tracks when I saw Grace (@camp_patton) was painting her tile floors. Yes. PAINTING THEM. I didn’t even know that was a thing, or that it was even possible. But I immediately thought of my kids’ bathroom and how […]

They’re all neutral, chic (and under $50) so they pair easily with whatever beach day outfit you’re donning and look extra […]

There’s nothing better than sunny spring days spent outdoors. And as we transition to warmer weather our attention is naturally directed to our patios, porches, and backyard spaces where we can create fresh and functional al fresco vignettes for everyday life to take place. It doesn’t matter whether you live on acres of land, in […]
