Creating an Outdoor Yoga Space

Spring is upon us, AMEN!  I love when the world comes alive, turning from brown to green almost overnight.  The scent of flowers in bloom wafting in the breeze and the sounds of birds chirping draw me to my outdoor space and after months of hibernating all I want to do is BE outside. My

How to Limewash Brick

When we first bought our 1970’s ranch style house a few years ago, I was not in love with the brick exterior any more than the interior, but it was not my first priority.  After painting pretty much every inch of the interior though, I thought it was high time for the exterior to get

A Garden Party

Last month Georgia turned one year old, it is hard to believe that she is walking and trying to talk!  Since we have such a great deck for entertaining, it seemed like the perfect opportunity to have a garden party. Pink floral details were added where ever possible.  The rustic floral topped cake was made

Make Your Own Belly Butter

There are lots of different methods to avoiding stretch marks out there.  Everything from miracle creams to just not scratching your really itchy and rapidly expanding bump claim to keep stretch marks away.  I really wish that I could say that I have found some secret weapon against stretch marks.

So I Painted a Chair Cushion

Hi Y’all!  I am recovering from a great weekend.  On Saturday afternoon I did my favorite thing in the world:  antique shopping.  Really the stores here have mostly junk and a few true antiques, but antiquing sounds much fancier!  I am especially excited about bringing home this beauty: God I love it!  It did not look exactly like

Hi Y’all!  We moved into this old farmhouse in April, and let’s just say that it needed a little bit of TLC. We immediately pulled up the old carpet and found the original hardwood floors in decent shape (Yay!).  We will probably go back and refinish them in the future, but they are okay for

Natural Highlighting Solution

It has been scorching hot here this week.  I guess it should be expected, it is August in Texas afterall.  We adopted a new dog, a sweet chocolate lab named Beau.  Beau loves to play outside and splash around in the baby pool with the girls.  They love it too, so we have been spending

DIY Lavender Tea Tree Castile Soap

In an effort to run a more safe and sustainable household, I am always on the hunt for natural homemade cleaning product recipes. I think that it is awesome that our generation is taking a stand against the chemical laden big name cleaners that we grew up around, and choosing a more natural way of cleaning everything from our homes to

How to Make a Baby Wrap

Happy Friday!  I am so looking forward to the weekend, and spending some quality time with Matt and my two girls, Minda and Kaya.  Kaya is almost two months old, and she always wants to be held.  Since she was born I have been carrying her around in a traditional front baby carrier which is
