An artful approach

What inspires you? Is it the energy you receive after attending a great event? Is it a piece of art? Is it googling inspirational quotes? Is it random acts of kindness? Is it reading a new #girlboss piece on your favorite site?

For me, it's all of the above. And for that I consider myself a lucky girl because inspiration is all around! As I sit and daydream about what my dream office would look like, I decided to share the love because it's very easy to get inspired on a dime...thanks to places like West Elm and Etsy.

Today I'm sharing 21 assorted prints that I am currently fawning over. It would be so easy to finish off a small but chic office space with these and an all white desk complimented by a tufted chair, natch. Not that I'm very specific or have a vision...cough, cough. 

Who's in for $5 prints that keep your mojo burning strong...even when the coffee pot has completely emptied out? Me!

Happy shopping! xo

Besides my family’s health and safety, the one thing I am most grateful for in 2018 is friendship. I’ve touched on the subject quite a few times, most recently here, but they have a tremendous impact on my daily outlook and my energy. My girlfriends give me a support system that is irreplaceable.

Zen is a State of Mind.

What’s your typical state of mind? Is it stress? Is it calm? Is it busy? Is it bliss? Or, if you are like me, it could be a combination of all of the above taking place in a span of 24 hours. That’s more like motherhood, right?

For me, a good scent evokes calm at the end of a stressful day. Calm is so often associated with nature, too. Think citrus, bamboo or orchid. In fact, I’ll do you one better. Think Febreze ONE.

I feel like life is moving at the speed of sound and with it...my blog has been sitting in the corner weeping for more frequency. I am TRYING but man, this time of year is intensely busy. I decided to do an Instagram round up of all the goodness we are experiencing this month and last month.

The Money Pit: this ol' office.
The Money Pit: this ol' office.

I think it's safe to say that the one eyesore in our house was the office. Really, I spend the most time in it and it's my domain. It didn't know what it wanted to be other than vanilla walls and a really bad paint job coupled with horrible blue carpet with stains from the kids and muddy feet. It was slightly maddening but it wasn't a priority...until now.

Summer is in full swing and I couldn’t be happier. Summer means more outside time and more family time. No matter how much time we spend outside, everyone, myself included, needs a moment to themselves. I call it “quiet time” and I’ve trained my girls to take an hour everyday.

If you follow my 101 things i love Facebook page, you know my affinity for a good daily deal. I share one every evening. Or at least I try! (if you're not, like my page to see items ranging from great sweaters to heels) Well today is a special exception because while we might be closing the books on January...we're still in the throws of winter.

3 Practical Gifts for Gifting Season
3 Practical Gifts for Gifting Season

Gift giving has arrived my friends! When I think of the items I use daily, the absolute necessities in life, they are often brilliant inventions that have a practical function in my life. Believe it or not, they aren't shoes or dresses, they're items that help me function as a parent, a host, an entertainer...you know, an overall renaissance woman of sorts. Totally kidding!

This post is coming at you late for a number of reasons - two of which happen to be: 1. I drank a bottle of wine last night (oops! - summer, it's your fault) and 2. this week is off to a nutty start. I feel like everyone just returned from Memorial Day and needs everything...NOW!

The Money Pit Series: It's back + we're tackling the master bedroom!

Gettin' real with ya folks. Today you're going to see a bunch of "before's." We're nearing the end of our master bedroom renovation so I thought I would give you an update. It's been ages since we took on a huge project. And for good reason...it's a mess and this fashionista can't stand disorder.
