This Halloween, why not embody the internet’s favorite easy-care houseplant? Do you love plants but suffer from a black thumb? Don’t worry!

Read MoreEasy Spider Garland DIY
This is my first year going through the holiday seasons as a mom of a more “aware” baby. Basically that means that while our 16-month-old is still not old enough to totally “get” everything we do, she’s waaay more interested and aware of things than last year at this time. So I feel like we […]

I love a good novelty pincushion. We’ve done lots of fun ones over the years, but I’ve never gotten to try my hand at felted wool until this project! Wool felting is one of those things that sounds and looks like a magic trick because it’s so crazy to watch something take shape and come […]

Read MoreDIY Terrazzo Cheese Knives
Is there anything better than a good cheese board?! I think not! I am pretty sure I could eat every meal from a grazing board.

Read MoreHow to Make a Faux Woven Pillow
There is something about fall that has me wanting to bring in all the textures and make all the yarn projects. Adding in that warmth really starts to get my home cozy for when the temperatures plummet. The funny thing is, as much as I like yarn crafts, I still don’t know how to knit […]

Fall is here—it’s time for bonfires, sweaters, and all things pumpkin spice! In your rush to stock up on cozy blankets and coffee mugs, don’t forget to give your porch a touch of fall as well! Porches are totally the “window to the soul” on the house, so it’s a good idea to give them […]
Read MoreMid-Century Modern Ikea Play Kitchen Hack!
I know I’m not the only parent that obsesses over the kids items that we bring into our house. Aside from being fun and safe, I also have a strong “need” for everything to be extra cute and match my color scheme and decor as well. I’ve done some DIY projects totally from scratch to […]
Read MoreTurning Nova’s Art Into a Photobook!
When we came home with Nova nine months ago, I set aside a drawer to keep her toddler art in. I knew it would add up fast, but nobody warned me just HOW fast. I framed the first painting she ever made. I remember how surreal it felt. Fast forward and in what felt like […]

Read MoreLola’s First Tour Photo Book
This post just goes to show you that it’s “better late than never” with documenting your life. We took our then 5-month-old daughter out on tour with her dad’s band Mutemath last fall and it was definitely a trip that needed documenting to show her later on all the fun places she got to visit […]
Read MoreMake Your Own Fabric with Martha Stewart Paint!
I’m so excited to share today’s post! A few weeks ago at our annual summer camp (at which we make a LOT of crafts), we taught the girls to make our own printed fabric. This rainbow above is a design by my niece, Bella, in fact! We had so much fun painting our own fabric […]
Read MoreMake Your Own Beeswax Food Wraps!
When you start to switch out items in your home for more natural or reusable items, the kitchen is a great place to start! We’ve been using containers like this or just good old mason jars for most of our leftovers (these bags are great too!), but sometimes you want to have something like cling-wrap to wrap […]

Read MoreHow to Sew a Zippered Throw Pillow
I love a good throw pillow. And recently, I wanted to sew a couple more for my living room. As a household that has two dogs (that we allow on our furniture) I’ve noticed the throw pillows that have a removable cover tend to last longer for us because I can either throw them in […]

As you probably saw from my home office update, I am a little obsessed with plants. And if you love plants as much as me, you might want to experiment with pressing plants. It’s super easy to do and the results can be absolutely stunning! In this project, I am working with Canon USA. I’ve […]
Read MoreWashable Rug DIY!
I feel like once you hit that point in life where you get pets or have kids (or both!) you start to ask the same question every time you consider buying something—”is this washable?” I wanted to make a rug for my office that I could throw in the washer anytime there’s a pet accident […]
