I don’t know about you but to me there is something a little sinister and creepy about the ink blot images of the Rorschach tests. Oops, maybe that lets you read more into my psyche than you should. Anyhow, something about the black and white ink blot screams to be interpreted for Halloween. And that […]

I realize that I have had Halloween on the brain lately (and there is plenty more of that to come), but before Halloween comes fall. Technically it is still summer and here in central Texas it sure doesn’t feel like fall yet, but I figured I would go ahead and rearrange my living room decor […]

My friend Jennifer (Jenniferperkins.com) throws an epic Halloween party every year for all our kids, and this year will be her 7th, so you can imagine she has seen her share of Halloween party food ideas. When we were talking a few weeks back, she casually tasked me with coming up with some new Halloween […]

Although it is going to be over 100°F today, my mind is all about fall. As long as I think about it hard enough and start to decorate for fall and Halloween, the temperatures are bound to come down. Right? Well, that is my hope at least. I have been trying to slowly add a […]

I realize that it is only the beginning of September, but seeing all the Halloween decor at Michaels and Joann Fabrics has me itching to start decorating. On a quick trip to Michaels to pick up some more craft pumpkins yesterday, I ended up getting a few more Halloween items that were on sale. It […]

Hey, hey it’s September! That means its time to bring on the fall and Halloween themed crafts and decor. My daughters birthday is actually on Halloween and this year she decided she wants a Halloween and Origami themed party (she is in love with making paper diamonds). Random combo, but she is a kid that […]

Today is all about our master bedroom and it is a very picture heavy post. This is a space that we rarely spend much time in aside from sleeping, so the design is fairly minimal. We only recently added the TINY couch that used to reside in our playroom. But, I do love the mix […]

I have been on the search for the perfect coffee table for several months, but everything that I like is either too expensive (at least right now with a 2 year old destruction machine) or not the right size. After several failed attempts, I finally ran across a small walnut colored wood coffee table with […]

I realize that there are literally thousands of recipes out there for pasta bolognese, but this is my veggie loaded version that really hits the spot when I am looking for a delicious pasta dinner. Why not give it a try this weekend and tell me what you think. Just look how good that looks! […]

A few months ago I posted a tutorial for making your own gold rimmed high ball glasses (you can see it here). I love my DIY gold rimmed glasses so much and they have held up quite well to use. So, the other day as I was sipping out of said glasses, I thought “hey, […]

For this weeks home tour we are heading out to the backyard for a little show and tell. Now this probably isn’t the best time to be showing you the backyard (being the end of a hot summer in Texas), but it will be a good way to document where our backyard is currently and […]

If you are on Pinterest or at all crafty, you have probably seen those sharpie painted mugs that are EVERYWHERE! Well, I wanted to try my hand at a derivation of those using the same technique but with something other than a coffee mug. And what I ended up making were these super cute monogrammed […]
