So, I did it — I booked a hair appointment for Friday morning. My goal is to become a lot less bleached and a lot more caramelized and I’m inspired by this look. I hope I love the results, because one thing’s for sure: I’m not loving how often (and costly) I need to be… [Read More]

5 ways I continue my creativity while living in a small space.

September 10, 2014 · 17 Comments
Filed Under: blog & handmade advice, inspiration, our home, simple living

For two years now we’ve lived in a small space, meaning our home is a 600 square foot apartment in Los Angeles. It’s a one bedroom with an extremely large living room — which thankfully has allowed us to make a section of our living room into a bedroom so the actual bedroom could be… [Read More]

Life around here…

September 8, 2014 · 11 Comments
Filed Under: baby #2, family, for fun

Life around here has meant… * wearing pink lipstick to a trip to the mall with my friend Joanna and our three (almost four) children * staying up way too late, soaking up extra hangout time with my hubby * putting together our heirloom baby cradle. Eleven grandchildren and almost five great-grandchildren have slept in… [Read More]

Upcoming opportunities for handmade shop owners!

Filed Under: blog/craft events

Fall is my favorite season and I’m secretly wishing Los Angeles would cool off just a little bit more so I can wear my pink moccasins and perhaps another layer of clothing without sweating. Oh my, that got really personal huh? I’ll have to keep on wishing, I think ;) I bought some pumpkin spice… [Read More]

Mountains, camping & a car battery.

September 3, 2014 · 11 Comments
Filed Under: adventures, family, seasons

We’ve had “go camping” on the calendar for months, but last week was so tiring and so hard, and I wasn’t sure if going would be a good idea. Maxwell had some sort of teething thing going on, so his afternoon nap was kinda non-existent (a pregnant moms worst nightmare). Zack worked late most nights…. [Read More]

Wonderful things.

Filed Under: for fun, Maxwell

How about a little TGIF? ;) I remember when that was “the” Friday night TV lineup. And you can bet I was gathered in the family room with my brother, sipping a homemade chocolate malt (thanks mom!) and so wishing I also had a Trapper Keeper. I didn’t dream of doing anything else. I loved… [Read More]
