An Easy Autumn Owl Garland
This crazy kid turned five last week and we celebrated with a jaunt to arcade heaven, pizza and ice cream, a horde of Star Wars figures. And to keep decor fun, simple and appropriate for the season, we made this simple little owl garland. I love these little guys because not only are they cute …
A First Birthday
Our sweet sweet baby M turned one at the beginning of this month. We celebrated her and showered her with hugs and kisses, simple gifts and a face full of cake. It’s hard to believe it was merely a year ago that this little angel came to join us. She has added a much needed …
Super Easy DIY Cardboard Ears
I love the idea of putting babies in snuggly pajamas for tricks-and-treats and then topping them off with a simple headband and a dab of face paint. Easy, comfy and uber adorable. And what better pj’s to cuddle up in then these adorable panda pj’s from Le Marchand d’Etoiles, a new French line that I’m drooling …
DIY Haunted House
I knew that just as soon as I made these fun Trick-or-Treators, for my Halloween Party Pack Printable in my shop, that I wanted to created a haunted house for them to spook around in. And my boys, well they whole heartedly approved of the idea. So we got straight to work, using our favorite craft …

My long time friend from art school, Denise, was kind enough to host the event at her cozy craftsman home. …
DIY Baby Octopus Costume
Back in the archives of my life (and blog) you will see a cute Little O, along side his older sailor brother, dressed as a red octopus for a magical nautical Knoxville Halloween. I made him this costume and have held onto it in the hopes that another cute little bean would be able to climb …

Hi friends! Are your kids already in school, getting used to the swing of things? Or are you like my Cali friends still waiting a few weeks before that first school bell of the year rings? Either way it’s the perfect time to gather together your paper lunch sacks and some paint to spice up …
Kid Portraits
Jon and I celebrated our 12 year anniversary this past Saturday. It’s crazy to think of the many things we have done together. New York City, Brooklyn, Knoxville, Paris, London, LA, Colorado, Utah…just to name a few destinations we set out to explore together… Marriage is awesome but it isn’t always peaches and cream …
