Happy Friday! I don't know about you, but I'm ready to crank up some music and pop some bottles. So in honor of my daughter's newfound love of roller rinks and a recent conversation about Rick James, I made you an epic playlist filled with Friday night roller rink vibes. In the mood for something other than old school cool disco? Check ou[...]
TGIF! If you caught this morning's Instagram post, then you know I kinda just want to stay in bed all day today. There's a winter weather warning, and it's just cold. My excuse to stay in my bedroom is to change out these affordable curtains to these inexpensive blush velvet curtains. I'm not sure if it's all the color that I've added to[...]
How is it back to school already? In the blink of an eye, August is almost gone which is why I checked out a bit. Just needed a bit of a break. The kiddos were supposed to return to school, but that all changed a few weeks ago. Although they were disappointed, both seem to be settling into distance learning quite well, since classes are m[...]
Now that the One Room Challenge space is done, I've been hitting the gym...the home gym that is. Working up the motivation while sitting in quarantine was not the easiest thing to do, but creating a place that was beautiful was definitely helpful. I didn't want to invest in a lot of weights and machines. Instead, I thought of the workouts[...]
One thing that was a high priority when opening the shop was the playlist. Music completely sets the tone. Not too stuffy. Slightly playful. Vintage yet trending. Basically everything I want the shop to be. Every time music is heard in the background when I share Stories on Instagram, I get soooooo many DMs. What song is that? Well, I got[...]
The mixtape. What was once a form of high school communication for some has since become a nostalgic novelty item. When was the last time you made a mixtape? I haven't made one for you in almost a year. I know, I'm sooooo not a good friend. But fret not. I'm back with a nerdy assemble of songs. No, there is no giddy romanticism I'm trying[...]
Well, that was a bit of radio silence, huh? So sorry. I gotta tell you guys, that One Room Challenge really wiped me out. That and all last week my in-laws were visiting from Germany, oh and I was playing reindeer games last Sunday too! Let me tell you about it! Susan and William of House Of Brinson were shooting in town, so Nicole of [...]
My ears get bored very quickly, so I've been on the hunt for new music as of late. It also probably doesn't help my cause when I find a song I like, it goes into heavy rotation for a month or two of commuting...over and over and over again. It's the one major issue I have with iPod playlists. Convenient yes, but one can only listen to a c[...]
It’s been a couple of weeks since I posted a “What I’m listening to today…” blog post. As John Cusack says in High Fidelity, “The making of a great compilation tape, like breaking up, is hard to do and takes ages longer than it might seem. You gotta kick off with a killer, to grab attention. Then you got to take it up a notch,[...]
