Spring is finally here, which means Easter is just around the corner! DIY enthusiasts like Britt and I are shaking with excitement. Our glue guns are hot, pom-poms are popping and our suede lace is on point. Make sure the eggs aren’t getting all the attention this year. In fact, we have some tips for you to mix it up and make your kid’s Easter Basket Boho Chic. Britt and I had so much fun creating Boho Easter baskets with my daughter, Steely, this Easter season. The best part


DIY VALENTINE'S DAY CANDY NECKLACES
This year Steely got so excited to bring little Valentine's Day treats to her friends at school! Instead of buying generic cards or candies to bring for the special day, we decided it would be really fun and unique for her to make her own Valentine's Day gifts. Plus, selfishly I love getting to craft and do a holiday-themed DIY project. We decided to make these adorable fruit loop heart necklaces! These are a super cute variation of the traditional candy necklaces, but with w


DIY VALENTINE’S DAY TEACHER GIFTS
I am such a big fan of Valentine’s Day … Not only is it a good reminder to show a little extra love to the people you care about most, but it’s the perfect holiday to bring out your crafty side and create some cute DIY projects. One really fun thing about having kids (and Britt) is being able to spend time with them to craft and create holiday-themed gifts! I personally love the idea of creating gifts with my kids, rather than just buying them. So, this year for Valentine’s D


HOW TO STYLE A COLLAGE WALL
If you are anything like me, you have collected a ton of special mementos and artwork over time — From cool art pieces to meaningful photos, or even small objects or special handwritten notes. Every time I saw one of these special memories that I yet to hang, I would think to myself that it was such a shame that I had all of these neat pieces collecting dust and no idea where to display them. I’m always seeing these gorgeous gallery walls on Pinterest, and totally love the lo


HALLOWEEN DIY: SKELETON IN SUCCULENTS
Can we all just agree that Halloween is one of the most fun holidays to decorate for?! With October 31st right around the corner, I have been having a blast getting the house all decked out and looking festive. Instead of buying ‘traditional’ decorations from the store (which are usually overpriced and boring), I decided to get crafty with some DIYs that I found on Pinterest — And of course, I enlisted Britt’s help. But let’s be honest, not all DIYs are exactly created equal


DIY CUTE FACE MINI PUMPKINS
I love a good DIY project — Especially a seasonal one that is fun and festive! Typically when I am looking for some DIY inspiration, I turn to Pinterest (who doesn’t). So, when I was browsing the site and came across these adorable little Cute Face Mini Pumpkins by Homey Oh My, I knew I had to make them — They were just too cute! These little pumpkins look adorable as indoor seasonal décor! They are also so easy to do, and my favorite part is that you avoid all the typical pu


DIY HOMEMADE BIRTHDAY CARDS
It happens almost every time — I’m about to head out for a kids birthday party, I get everyone settled in the car, the present is wrapped and ready to go, and I realize … I don’t have a card. It’s like clockwork, every time! As a result, I end up having to stop and pick one up on the way, being rushed and making us late — Not to mention that birthday cards these days are expensive! This school year, I vowed to keep some on hand at home. With three kids under thirteen, we have


PINTEREST-WORTHY COCKTAILS WITH LAVENDER INFUSED ICE CUBES
Having seen all sorts of gorgeous cocktails all over Pinterest lately, I was feeling very inspired to make my own cocktails a little prettier and more appealing the next time I was entertaining. These Lavender Infused Ice Cubes turned out to be the perfect drink accoutrements to easily impress my guests. And obviously, the best part is, you can make them ahead of time! After some hunting around, I found the perfect ice cube trays on Amazon. They are great because they make l
