Have you ever felt like you were born in the wrong decade? For me, my heart has always belonged to the ‘50s. My parents were born in the 1950s so I grew up hearing stories of the way things used to be and I always felt a connection to the decade that shaped their generation. I spent countless ...

As a first-time mama-to-be, pregnancy has been an interesting endeavor. I've been so consumed with creating life inside my body, I haven't had the energy or desire to create much else. My art, my music, my writing - have all been placed on the back burner to collect dust. Which is dishear...

Lately I've been thinking a whole lot about firsts and lasts. This month has been an emotional ride already as I welcomed a much anticipated last: a last baby to complete our family. I'm overjoyed at the fact that she is now here, but I have already had a few moments of sadness that this is th...

Have you checked out American Girl recently? They just debuted their BeForever line this fall in stores nationwide as well as online and it has girls everywhere excited. We were at the Seattle store the day BeForever was announced to check the line out in person and do one of their many in-st...

Anyone who knows my kids knows all about their deep desire to understand how things work. They are rarely content with a simple explanation of the facts and instead require an in-depth analysis of everything that perplexes them. It is likely this knowledge that led many close friends and famil...

Now that school is starting for the year, I know a lot of us are looking for a quality after-school snack to share to calm the masses and stifle the complaining. I know that when I pick my kids up from school, the first thing they say is, "I'm so hungry!!" Especially the first couple of weeks ...

You know what back to school means? It means fall colors, tall boots, chunky sweaters, steaming lattes, and a whole lot more "me" time - even if I do plan to spend it working. This is the first year I will have both kids in school {even if it's just a few hours a week}, and quite honestly ...

When we moved into our house 7 years ago, I went out and spent a fortune professionally printing pictures and then getting them framed and matted. Then we planned out large photo designs and hung them gallery-style across our wall. And we haven't done much else since. But, recently my walls go...

My daughter is ridiculously excited about starting Kindergarten this fall. For the past few months we’ve been focusing on writing and drawing together to tell stories just like they did in preschool because she was so disappointed when school ended for the summer. Then, about a month ago, she...

Every mom of school aged kids is aware of the infamous school supply list at the start of each year. If you’re not familiar, these lists typically involve large amounts of cash and leads to a bunch of questions about why your child needs 25 individual toothpicks, red yarn, and three tennis s...

I admit that I don't know that much about cars. I put the gas in and depend on the little sticker on my windshield to remind me that I need to get the oil changed. I really didn't know what to look for when I went for an oil change. It's a good thing Motor Oil Matters came up with this checklis...
