So far I’m 2 for 2 in the “going overboard” department when it comes to Kate’s birthday parties. I always do a little more than I had originally intended, and spend a little more than I had originally planned. I can’t help it! To me it’s worth it, and I don’t see that changing anytime
Haven, Here I Come!
What happens when hundreds of décor-obsessed do-it-yourselfers converge in one location for 48 hours? No one knows! It’s never been done before! (Although something tells me the Crowne Plaza in Atlanta is getting a fresh coat of paint and some updated wall art.) I’m attending the first-ever Haven Conference for DIY and home décor bloggers
What’s In Kate’s Lunch Bag?
I’ve got one heck of a picky eater on my hands these days. She used to be so good at eating whatever I put in front of her, but ever since she’s learned how to form words she’s also formed this pesky little thing called an opinion. Here’s what she doesn’t like: vegetables (no surprise),
Thou Shalt Covet Glass
I’m no expert on the anti-plastic movement, but I do know it’s out there. I’ve read enough magazine headlines while standing in the checkout line to know that Glass = Good.

Easter 2012 There was no shortage of fun yesterday as we celebrated Kate’s 3rd Easter! We started our morning with a search for our Easter baskets (Kate found hers behind the living room curtain and squealed with delight!), followed by an ooey-gooey breakfast of homemade cinnamon rolls. Afterwards we went to Grandpa & Grandma’s

That’s What She Said
If you follow Kate’s monthly posts, you already know that she calls the alphabet her “ABCDs” (adding that extra letter in there). A newer bit of information I’ve yet to share is that in recent months she’s become obsessed with trucks. She loves them! A few weeks ago, Kate was telling Grandma Pam all about
Thirty-One Organizing Tote Giveaway!
***This giveaway is now closed. Thank you to all who entered!*** I don’t know about you, but spring always makes me feel so energized! I want to exfoliate the winter off my skin, run until my legs no longer glow in the dark, and organize my house from top to bottom! That’s where Thirty-One comes
Things Loved in March 2012
1. My new spring jacket! I ordered this super cute fuchsia trench from Gap.com a couple of the months ago during the middle of winter while everything was gloomy and gray and I was jonesing for spring. I’m not usually one to go for pink, but the color is so deep and rich and happy–it’s
