By far, one of the best things I did when I completed my office makeover was adding in built in office cabinets. They gave me loads more storage – hidden storage!

It’s been too long since we’ve talked good books! We went to the beach over spring break a few weeks ago and for our family, that means we read. A lot. We also play on the beach, ride bikes and eat good food, but there’s a whole lot of reading done as well. This list…
I hadn’t forgotten about them, but I had forgotten about the magic of them. When we pulled into the driveway a few weeks ago and she saw the bright yellow flowers shooting up from the ground, she couldn’t get out to pick one fast enough. In that moment, she became the third generation of our…
Who doesn’t love Reba McEntire’s song, Fancy? Seriously, y’all. It’s a total classic. My little five year old self would literally sit in front of the television watching TNN (The Nashville Network) back in the day before heading to school just praying to see the Fancy video. And honestly, if you don’t like it, I…
This project has only been completed for a month or so and I can already confidently say that it is hands-down the Circus’ most favorite thing I’ve ever made her – a wall mounted drop down desk. Y’all, she is at this desk everyday. In fact, before I could even get photos of it, I…

I almost gave up on this idea no less than 10 times. I mulled over tons of different options and ideas for how to build this chippendale desk for weeks. Nearly every idea I came up with seemed to eventually hold up a bright red STOP sign. I would go back to the drawing board….

If you work from home, then take my advice. Get your home office in tip-top shape. Paint it. Decorate it. Organize it. Make it you. I’m not sure quite how, but somehow, magically, once you do that, you become so much more productive. So much more saner. So much more feeling like maybe you can just…
From the time the Circus was born, all I ever wanted was for her to be a well-rounded kid. I of course want her to be happy and laugh and play, but I also want her to appreciate music of all kinds, love aspects of both the city and the country, appreciate dressing up and…
