Updated Master Bedroom

Per usual the master bedroom was the only room we didn't paint or really decorate when we moved in a year and a half ago...the kids rooms and living room were our first priority so it was time for a re-do! We don't have a headboard so I had decided I was going to paint something fun on the wall behind our bed. I started by painting the whole room the Agreeable Grey from Sherwin Williams that the rest of the house is in. I ended up doing a very very dark grey behind our bed for a head board look (I used Sherwin Williams Iron Ore). I had some white bedding from our guest room in our other house that had been in the shed so I pulled that out and found a few more black and white accents from around the house to change the look of the bedroom. It feels so good to have this new look and it was so cheap! I just bought a bucket of paint and did it all in a weekend! Here are the pics...enjoy! xoxo (And for pics of our old Master Bedroom click here.)

I made this new XO art for over our bed. Super simple and easy.

I also added some more art to this wall that I made at an encaustic workshop.

Loving the fresh feel! xoxo

A Unicorn 5th Birthday Party!

Last weekend we celebrated our daughters 5th birthday! Of course she wanted the popular unicorns, hearts and rainbows theme! It was so much fun planning this party with her...I think she is following in my footsteps:) Here are pictures of what we did. xoxo

She was one happy birthday girl!

I made this giant unicorn backdrop to match the party invitations!

The party invites!

Of course we had to have a unicorn cake...I just bought the rainbow cake in the bakery section 

at the grocery store and then add the unicorn horn to it that I made. Cheap and easy!

Rainbow fruit tray!

We spray painted the popcorn pink with spray food coloring and added a few 

heart candy gummies to make it more magical then just popcorn! 

PB&J heart sandwiches!

She wrote everyone's name herself on the unicorn party bags! 

Activity party table...candy necklaces, unicorn tattoos and unicorn masks to color.

The activity table was a big hit!

What's more fun then candy necklaces?

Such a fun party to plan! xoxo

Happy 5th Birthday Evangeline!

Happy Birthday to a sweet girl who made me a mommy 5 years ago! 

Time sure flies by fast...here are a few pics from our morning birthday celebration! xoxo

Valentine's Breakfast 2018

We had our annual Valentine's breakfast before leaving for work and school...

the kids look forward to this for days:) Here are a few pics...xoxo!

The kids spots...yogurt, treats, hot chocolate and juice. #sugaroverload

A large box of chocolates for Mommy:)

Loved filling the table with all of the Valentine's we've gotten and made.

Heart marshmallows for the hot chocolate!

Heart shaped french toast and sausage.

Evangeline was excited to find her spot...next to the baby!

Emmerich was excited about the yogurt and hot chocolate...his 2 favorites!

...and baby Escher loved the bright red/crinkly heart box of chocolates!

Trying to get the last few days out of my Christmas wreath:) #addahearttoit

The kids made these Valentine's crowns yesterday!

Blogging for you this morning while enjoying those chocolates! 

How many can I eat...?

Hope you have a great Valentine's Day! xoxo

Emmerich Turns 3!

Yesterday we celebrated Emmerich's 3rd birthday! 

He wanted a train party so here is what we did to decorate...enjoy! xoxo

This color scheme was so fun and bright for a little boys party. 

I found this giant baloon at Michaels for $7.99 and used a 60% off coupon... 

I had our local grocery store blow it up...such a hit with the birthday boy!

The train invites...all art work was done by the birthday boy!

Table decor...so easy!

Thankful the grocery store had the perfect colors to go with the color scheme:)

Finger jell-o is a kids party staple at our house.

Party favor bags.

...and the contents. 

Emmerich's favorites...slinky, animal crackers and lollipops!

Opening presents to end the night!

And of course a family photo:)

Christmas Is Coming!

I love the few short weeks between Thanksgiving and Christmas when it is so festive and everything is decorated! Below is a snapshot of our Christmas decor. The only thing missing is a Christmas wreath...I am heading to my annual wreath making party this week so after that our decor will be complete. Check out the pics from last years party here . xoxo

Table decor...Flower bowls by the talented local artists Ed and Kate Coleman.

I always love decorating our front porch...it is the first thing people see so it is nice to have it festive.

I loved making these planter arrangements this year!

I saw this saying on the Letterfolk instagram page and I couldn't  resist!

The kids collected all of these gorgeous pine cones for me:)

Love this sparkly little vignette.

My daughter really wanted to go all glittery this year so we 

put on glitter snowflakes and crystals!
