Today is a pretty special day all the way around. First, I’ve had the opportunity of late to work with a very talented photographer, Angie Arthur of Angie Arthur Photography and co-founder of I Heart Faces. We met at BlissDom this year and we just clicked. We immediately began to plan a pretty intense schedule for this …
I love clever and I love crafts, so when I saw these DIY totem poles from All You magazine I had to build an entire inspiration board around them! These are one of those crafts that I wish I had thought of. So very simple and inexpensive, trademarks of the All You brand. Hop over to …
You know when you really want a s’ more… but you don’t have any chocolate… and then you realize you don’t have any graham crackers either? Well let me introduce you to the OTHER s ‘more! When I was a kid these were actually the preferred snack when I went to my grandmother’s house, unless of course she was …
As a mom of two boys (and statistics show that boys read less as they get older), I’ve made reading a bit of a fun requirement around our house. As a matter of fact, my boys see it as a punishment if we don’t get a bedtime story or two… or three. Honestly, it’s a bit …
Since becoming a mom I’ve honestly struggled a bit with how do I enjoy Mother’s Day myself while making sure that my mom (and a few years ago, my grandmother) also feels special. In prior years we’ve always ordered from a restaurant and had a picnic at a local park. No cooking, no clean-up and no …
I’m working on a new project and I have ice cream on the brain, specifically ice cream cupcakes. Here are a few beautiful and interesting ideas that I found around the web. Chocylit’s traditional ice cream cone cupcake (via flickr) – these may be the simple version, but this image is just too perfect, right down to …
If you have a graduate who’s finally gone and “done it” then these are the graduation donut cupcakes for you! You’ll only need a few ingredients for these no-bake treats. Recently we launched a new graduation collection (invitations, printables, damask table decor) and I got busy in the kitchen to create a fun new twist on the …
Wow, what a week! It started with a heavy project workload, then there was the terrible tornado in Tuscaloosa and Birmingham where I still have tons of family (I spent hours staring at The Weather Channel and getting down on my knees. Thank God no one from my family was injured, just debris filled yards and mild roof damage), …
With summer drawing near I’ve been thinking about summer activities and away camps. Honestly I’m not ready for away camp… I’m having a hard time with my oldest going to full day school next year… I know, I know. I don’t have to tell you moms how hard it is to let go. Anyway, it still got …
Although the rain refuses to go away here in Ohio (like eight straight days now…) I’m dreaming of summer and my idea sketch pad has quickly moved on from Easter and is now looking a bit more patriotic. Here are just a few of the things that are inspiring me this morning. Joy the Baker’s Toasted Marshmallow Milkshakes All You …
