And just like that...we have a one year old! Time has seriously flown by this past year (I've heard that is what happens with baby #2!), and we have a freshly minted 1 year old boy on our hands. I wanted to share photos of Blake's party and document the great day we had! We decided on a theme after ordering Blake's birthday cake at Costco (HIGHLY recommend, by the way). We saw a caterpillar decoration for the cake and T and I instantly thought we should go with the book, The Very Hungry Read More
Holiday Gift Idea // DIY Herb Compound Butter
Still looking for a gift for idea for your babysitter, neighbor or foodie friend? I’ve got you covered. I whipped up a batch of DIY Herb Compound Butter and let me tell you—it is GOOD stuff.

I’ve included the recipes below. We actually made these at a MOPS meeting a while back, so I don’t have the original source of the Read More
DIY Floating Bathroom Shelves // Or A Creative Way to Store that TP…
This post was sponsored by Charmin as part of an Influencer Activation for Influence Central. We have a half bath off our kitchen. It’s great, but it has a pedestal sink and that’s about it…meaning not a lot of storage. I definitely needed some sort of cabinet to house all that bathroom stuff (towels, toilet paper, kleenex, etc.) At first, I was thinking of buying (or possibly building) an ornate cabinet or heck, even getting a new vanity altogether. But all I saw were dollar Read More
Girls Day // Board & Brush
My friends and I were looking for an activity for a girls day. We typically try to get together once a month or so and do something fun. So I suggested going to Board & Brush for a wood sign workshop since I had done one before when I was in Milwaukee and loved it. They have locations throughout the Midwest, a couple sprinkling the east coast and are continuing to expand. They take you through the entire process from raw materials to finished product and you walk away with a personalized Read More
What to Get for a Co-Ed Baby Shower // Drinks & Diaper Tiered Cake Tower
T and I recently received our first invite to a co-ed baby shower for our friends (they are expecting baby #2.) I was scratching my head on what to give as a gift beyond the standard case of beer and box of diapers. Since I love making tiered towers and did one as a housewarming gift, I figured I’d make one for the shower too, and it turned out SO cute! Here’s what I used…feel free to get creative and add things: -2 packs of diapers -6 pack beer (preferably one that is baby-related…T Read More

DIY Upholstered Headboard
It’s been a while since T and I have done a DIY project (you know, with a new baby and all). But we still love a good DIY project whenever we have the time…it just takes a little longer these days! That said, I had been lusting after a a new upholstered headboard for our master bedroom. We had a standard wood headboard, and I wanted something softer to sit up and read against. Something that would be a bit more sophisticated and fit the decor of the room versus our current one. Let me Read More
