This past weekend was all about containers at our house. I’d been longing for a trip to The Container Store for some time now. Have you been to this place? It’s an organizer’s dream! Any sort of item you need to contain? They have the container for it. The first order of disorganized business was [...]
Now that they days are getting longer, the sun comes into my kitchen just as I’m making dinner, filling it with the most delicious light, perfect for photos. So the other day I grabbed my DSLR, which has sadly been collecting dust for much of the winter, and went to town.

Dear god, I have been reading too many design blogs.) that I just love. It helps to look at them after I pass by the wreckage that is our [...]
My apologies for that short blip in our regularly scheduled blog posts. I’ve been taking some time to think and adjust and rest.
