First, i just have to put this out there – I feel pretty stupid writing this post. Trust me, no one I know is asking me for beauty tips! But I got so many complements on my hair at the market that I decided to embarrass myself and show everyone just how crazy simple the…
Halloween is coming quick! This year, thanks to Costco, both of my kiddos picked out plain ole mass produced costumes “Mommymommymommymommy I haaaaaaave to be a pirate princess! SHE HAS A SWORD!” I’m feeling part relieved that I don’t have to whip up a costume based on a crazy whim, “Mommymommymommymommy, I haaaaaave to be…
I saw this amazing project on Instagram and knew I had to create it for Baby Benson’s nursery/big boy room. So I ordered the felt balls from www.hellomaypole.bigcartel.com and got started! What you will need… Branch (I snagged a branch from our fig tree in the yard.) Needle and Thread Sissors Yes, that is it!…
Ahhhh! Less than a month until the Vintage Market! And silly old me promised to wear a vintage inspired dress. Oh, and I have to actually MAKE the dress. Don’t worry, I won’t disappoint. I’m actually ahead of the game! I’ve learned a few things in the process so far, and I want to share…

I have a lot of really special old pictures. One day I plan to have a giant wall (in my dream house of course) full of old pictures of our families. Right now, I have no huge wall, so I had to choose a few of my favorite. Here is what I started with… I…
I am a child of the 80’s. My childhood was a wash of big bangs, wet and wild lipsticks, scrunchies, and peg-legged stonewashed jeans. Oh, and my 4th grade “boyfriend” sported a flat top haircut and hammer pants every darn day. Just for the record, I do NOT love any of the things I just…
Last week, Junk in the Trunk posted a question on our Facebook wall. “What gets you through the 3:00 blues?” The most common response had something to do with coffee. My go to used to be a coke zero, but I’m trying to be, like, healthy and stuff, so I had to change that up.…
And the winner is….. Dress number 2, in fabric number 3. I love this fabric! It’s by the lovely (and very tall) Heather Bailey. from her Nicey Jane collection, called the Lindy Leaf. I got it here. Did I mention that I got to have lunch with Heather at Revive? Yep, I did. Mandy was…
