March Round Up
Before I get swept up into One Room Challenge land, and my house becomes a construction zone, I wanted to be sure to wrap up March by sharing some fun ways that we ushered in the Spring this year! If you missed my quick post about my mom’s Laundry Room Makeover you can check that out below: A Simple Laundry Room Makeover For My Mom 52 Week CIO Challenge Not gonna lie, this was a hard month to keep myself on task with my weekly projects – the last two I honestly finished on the last day of the month. But I did get them done and that’s…

February Round Up
Ah February – a never-ending month of 2-hour delays and flu-like symptoms! I was hoping to share more on the blog this month but the combo of those two took a toll on my productivity. Even though the snow is still falling outside, the longer days sure are nice and almost make it feel like Spring is right around the corner! An Easy and Inexpensive Valentines Day Fondue Party 52 Week CIO Challenge My 52 Week Cross it Off Challenge is still going strong in it’s second month! Here’s what I crossed off in February: 6. Design my Florida house Bedroom makeover and send the shopping list…

January Round Up
Now that the 750th day of January has finally ended (seriously…..why did January feel like it went on forever this year?)

First, make sure you check out my 2018 round up or my 2019 plans if you missed them at the beginning of the month: 2018 Round Up 2019 Resolutions and House Goals DIY Workshop at the Philly Home and Garden Show I am so excited to announce that over President’s Day Weekend I will be taking part in the “Make It Take It”…

2018 Round Up
As one of the toughest years of my life comes to a close today I am happy that I can at least say that 2018 is ending on a much better note than it started. When I started looking through my completed projects, I was actually a little disappointed because it didn’t seem like I had accomplished as much as I had wanted to despite feeling like I barely sat down all year — but when I thought about it more I realized a few reasons why that was: 1) The car accident that me and the boys were in last January really had a lasting affect on me (both…

August Round Up
The temperature may still be running high around here, but other than that it definitely feels like it is time for Fall to start. Before we officially say goodbye to summer though I’m looking back at how we wrapped up this incredibly busy time of year. If you missed any of my blog posts this month you can check them out at the following links: Changing Things Up in the Living Room My Kitchen Favorites Our Small Summer Getaways After the absurdity that was the start of 2018, we decided earlier this year that we weren’t going to take a long family vacation this summer and opted…

July Round Up & Morning Room Updates
And somehow we are already through July! This is our first time experiencing an actual school year for one of our boys so it is our first time experience just how fast summer really does fly by. I’m shaking things up a little bit this month – since I’ve been really busy with client projects I have been using my little bit of free time to concentrate some updates to one of my favorite rooms in my house – our morning room. So for my monthly round up I decided to share all of these little, but impactful, changes all in one go! Straightening out the Curtains …

May Round Up
Happy Spring Everyone! You may have noticed that I didn’t share an April Round Up (due to the One Room Challenge craziness) but I’m back this month with lots of updates. To start, I have added a new subscription button to my website (you can find it in the right hand column) so feel free to sign up to know when a new post is published. Along those lines, I’m also going to be including a list of my posts from the previous month to my round ups as well so you can catch up on anything you missed – here’s what went down in May: One Room Challenge Week…

March Round Up
Decorating Easter Cookies with Kids My nieces unexpectedly slept over the other evening, so I planned for one of my favorite things to do with them – decorate cookies. I’m not gonna lie, trying to manage 4 kids and a potentially messy situation can get a bit crazy! But over time I’ve put together a few tricks to make the experience enjoyable for everyone. Make sure that each kid has their own space – I set everyone up at my island and give the two little ones stools so they can reach. Each kid gets their own plate and their own set of cookies. I also keep my boys…

February Round Up
Antique Shopping February brings about one of my favorite yearly traditions – antique shopping with my husband. The first year we moved into this house he suggested that we take the afternoon of Valentine’s day and go visit the antique store that’s around the corner from our house (and YES – it is both awesome and dangerous to have a huge antique store right around the corner from your house!). We’ve gone every year since and every year I pick up a few special things. This year I grabbed some absolutely beautiful pieces for the upcoming front room/dining room makeover. These two botanical prints were honestly just screaming for me…

January Round Up
A Quick Entryway Update With the temperatures outside still pretty frigid I’ve been using the winter to knock some smaller projects off my list, starting with some quick updates to my entryway and hallway. First off, for those wondering the door color is Sherwin Williams Sensible Hue. If anyone if thinking of painting the back of their door but doesn’t want anything too colorful I recommend going two shades darker than your wall color. You will get a high contrast but in a more subtle way. We had changed out the boob light last year for this beautiful glass and wood pendant I found at HomeGoods, and…
