Feminist Icon Cross-Stitch + Giveaway

A few months ago, Amy from Running Press reached out to me with an offer to review a new book being released from their press. From the moment the email came across my desk, I knew this was something I was super interested in. The book is  FEMINIST ICON CROSS-STITCH: 30 Daring Designs to Celebrate Strong…

Baby’s first Library

Spring brings may rains and baby showers. If you are of the age, your mailbox is probably full of invitations. But what to get? Well the first choice should always be the registry. I love registries. But what if there is no registry, or it is stripped clean, or you just want something a little…

New Art

I have been on a slow... SLOOOOOWWWWW.... process to decorate my dining room. I love my dining room and it was one of the things that sold us the house. Actually, let me clarify. I love having a dining room and being able to entertain. Z. love the wood paneling... hence why we cannot paint…

Dining Room Redo

Z. and I are in the slow, slow process of redoing the dining room. When we bought this house the dining room was my least favorite part because it is paneled. Big, thick, 1960s paneling. But Z. LOVED it and we made an agreement that if I got to paint the kitchen cabinets, then I…
