If you were to take a trip to the house where I grew up, you’d head a few miles outside of a small town.  Travel down a dirt road framed by a perfect archway of oak and maple trees and land at a dusty driveway just beyond a swampy ditch full of cattails.  There sits […]

If you don’t love it, leave it.  That’s the name of the game this week. On Monday, we will be handed the keys to our new house.  Done deal.  We’ll begin the process of moving on… It’s a very surreal feeling.  I’ve been going through the process of packing and decluttering but it’s almost as […]

Just as the trees were dropping their last few leaves and before the blistery cold came billowing in, I realized there was a moment to be captured. They say that things change with your second child and I couldn’t agree more.  Time slips away faster and the days of being a baby are soon forgotten. […]

As we’re all perfectly well aware, this is the time of year that we’re all supposed to be thankful. I’ve been trying for well over a week now to put together a post on gratitude and thankgiving.

Flashback to her 1st birthday here) and I’m busy making cake, wrapping a quick present and packing to head out of town for the Thanksgiving holiday but in the midst of it all I’m going to totally be cheesy and cliché here and share a […]

Spring brings a magical time when blooms are all about.  I love finding excuses to drive by the orchards in all their flowering glory.  The cherry orchards might just be my favorite as they remind me of my childhood trips to Grandma’s house but just about any flowering tree will bring a smile my my […]

Yesterday I returned home from Philosophy Flowers workshop.  First off, let me just say that Kelly Perry herself  is an absolutely enchanting and sweet soul with a huge passion and fabulous eye for floral.  Secondly, each and every other girl I met while there was just as delightful.  I was truly in flower heaven sitting […]
