play creatively
I mentioned a few weeks back on Instagram that I’m simply terrible with journaling and printing out all our family photos. As my kids are growing up, I feel it’s high time i get all these photos documented in tangible form for little ones to look and for us all to enjoy. But going through …
We’ve wanted to make a swan costume for Miss M ever since we put together this little Valentine tissue box swan. We followed basically the same idea, just enlarged to fit her. So simple and and so fun! And just in time for this year’s Swan Princess Halloween costume (although I think it will go right …
We recently celebrated this girls birthday this month (with her brother’s coming up tomorrow!) and I can’t believe my baby is 5 years old already. She’s been such a spark of fun, joy, spunk and sweetness for us all. She’s so precocious and social and I love it. I definitely think she’ll take after her …
We had such a lovely family outing where we made boats from scrap wood and took them down to the river to float them. It was such a simple and sweet activity for us. To make one yourself:

We had fun crafting up matching star wand and headbands to go along with our Wren and James collab ‘Summer Nostaglia’ – where girls can match their doll in twinning pinafores! I share a demo on how to make these on Studio 5 KSL which you can see here.
I’m so in love with how Jenner Brown, friend and film maker, captured our ‘Summer Nostaglia’ collaboration with Wren & James. A collection that brings girls and their dolls together in matching pinafores. You can see more from our collection and from the amazing photo shoot here, here, and here. And if you have to …
We’re so excited to announce the launch of our collaboration ‘Summer Nostaglia’ that has been in the works for over a year with timeless children’s wear designer Kiley of Wren and James. Together we created 4 unique pinafores for both little girls and their dolls to wear. We wanted something that reminded us of the simple …
Happy Father’s Day! We painted father’s day portraits and this is what I came up with for Jon. Jon, always puts connection over perfection. He’s the kind of dad who listens intently, is always empathetic, and with an ever busy schedule will always make time to wrestle with the kids and tell dad stories (and …
