Whenever I’m pregnant I get a little nervous about having weird cravings. You know the ones: pickles and ice-cream, cookies and ketchup, french fries dipped in mayonnaise. I mean, for a large part of my day I’m thinking about what I’m going to eat next. (What?) During those first few weeks I really dread eating,… [Read More]
You must see our Summer Gift Guide!
We recently launched our Summer Gift Guide and ohhhhhh my word, the handmade community is just so, so inspiring and fun to hang around with.

A philosophy I’m in love with…
via A Cup of Jo While reading one of my favorite blogs I came across this beauty philosophy that literally made me stop and pause over the words I had just read: I think beauty is about contrast — that things shouldn’t be too perfect. I’m “allergic” to things being too done-up, whether that be… [Read More]
Let’s build a summer-themed giveaway bundle!

18 weeks baby bump.
Over the weekend we loaded ourselves into the Jeep and drove over to Home Depot. We needed just a few basic things, but before we checked out we stopped by the nursery (wink). Is it just me or do you love colorful plants, too? Oh my… they are so fun! I dream of having a… [Read More]

And when I think about it, this topic goes back to the beginning roots of my blog’s content. For this very reason I’m inspired to introduce a new series, State of the Biz: blog & handmade… [Read More]
Finding the reward.
In the midst of this crazy, beautiful life that’s often loud and full of high-energy (and not always a good night of rest) — it’s important to be able to slow down. I love the saying, “the days are long but the years are short” because it is so true. A good reminder for myself,… [Read More]
What are your favorite summer recipes?
It’s no surprise we’re talking about food today, right? (giggle giggle) We have some fantastic produce options here in southern California, and trust me when I say the Whitley family takes full advantage of this. Who knows how long we’ll be here, so I’m soaking up (devouring?) the sweet fruits and crisp veggies while I… [Read More]
In search of a world map.
I’m on a mission to get our apartment decorated so it serves us better, instead of us serving it. Think about this with me: how many times do we tell ourselves we’ll work on X or we’ll fix X or we’ll paint/organize/move X? And then months pass by and we still haven’t done X? I… [Read More]
17 weeks baby bump.
WE’RE HAVING ANOTHER BABY! ♥ Did you see my announcement last week? I have tiny yellow hearts exploding from my eyes, I’m so so so excited and thankful for a second pregnancy! What’s interesting to me is so far this pregnancy is exactly like my first. Just like with Maxwell, which we didn’t find out the… [Read More]
