I'll share more info as the show gets closer but I hope you can visit us there! I promise it'll be worth the trip.  

Homemade rules.

Yellow Doors

There's nothing more cheerful than a bright yellow front door....

All Grown Up

Having mixed feelings about today! All three of my boys are in school today for the first time. Not quite sure how this happened so fast...

I'm so proud that they are all so independent and excited for school. They are kind to their friends and teachers, they love learning and are excited to share what they know with whoever will listen!

Not sure what I'm going to do with my life now that they're busy with their own, but I'll keep you posted. 

Off to bake some treats for after school so they'll tell me about their day!

Good Times in Santa Barbara

We're spending some time in Santa Barbara this week. Not too shabby. Having our first "glamping" experience. (No, I didn't make that word up) All the fun of camping without the mess. Let's just say it makes for a happier marriage in this family!

There's been lots of pool and beach time, a French festival, playing in the woods, and awesome food all around. We've got four days left so I'm expecting to be fully vacationed-out before we hit the road again.

It's good to get away.

School's Out

I love the last day of school! Epic water fights, friends, picnics and anticipation of a fun summer ahead. All three boys had a special day, and we all fell asleep early last night from pure exhaustion. 


We're hanging around the house this morning in recovery mode, and heading out to celebrate the first day off with a trip to the pool this afternoon. Here's to a great summer break!

Paris In Color

So excited to receive this package in a few days. My favorite photography blogger, Nichole of Little Brown Pen, has released a book of her beautiful Paris prints. You can find Paris in Color for a great price here. 

It's going to go straight to the coffee table for a long, long stay. Lovely.

On Location

I'm loving these prints from Orange & Park. I'm thinking about the East Coast & CA Coast prints side by side, in craft paper & white. Great colors, graphics and price. The blog is worth a peek as well. Cool format. 

Nice job Orange & Park. You're one of my new favorites. 

AREAWARE

My favorite new "gadget". It's a modern cut wood block designed to neatly hold your iphone at night. Download the clock app and it charges at the same time. Perfect solution for an old house with an incredibly small number of outlets. Comes in colors too if natural wood isn't your thing. 


AREAWARE has lots of great things for kids and home. I'm a fan.

Urban Online

Have you visited Urban Outfitters online shop? Yes, yes, and yes please. 

I just ordered the chevron and herringbone rugs in grey and they're just right. Thinking seriously about the orange ampersand and elephant rug. 

There's something for everyone. Why wouldn't you?
