Cricut versus Silhouette – an honest opinion


I’ve avoided this post for a long, long time, but a little voice in my head (the one that sounds like Sophia on Golden Girls) has told me that I finally need to write this post. I get a LOT of emails of folks asking me which machine I like better – and which one I recommend for them to purchase.

dreaming in color

photo (2) If you’ve been hanging around here more than 5 minutes, you already know that I tend to stick to a very limited color family in my home…. like all aqua. Me and aqua – we’re like peanut butter & jelly – or peas and carrots – or like Forrest and Jenny – we just go together. But I’m getting brave – and embracing a whole new rainbow of options.

the post with no real point

photo (1) {kinda like this post – the photo has no point either, 
but my brain will not let me write a post without an image}

I’ve had a weird week. Seriously weird. And although not a lick of it had anything to do with decorating or DIY, I thought I’d share it just the same. I completely understand if you don’t make it past the first paragraph today… it’s all good, I still love ya!

the practical side of beautiful living

I adore seeing homes in magazines that are beautifully put together, ones where you could just fall right in and cozy up with a good book. I've been working forever to make our home one of those spaces - but magazine style living isn't really what we're all about. We live in every inch of our home - and it shows :)

Treating my friends

IMG_6749 Every day is the same scenario – rush the kids off to school, kiss the hubby as he leaves for work, fly into making 101 things to fill orders & fill up my booth at Peacock Lane, then after school tackle clubs, etc. and try your best to fit in dinner, family time, community events and every day life. Rush. Rush. Rush. There’s a few things that tend to always get knocked to the bottom of my ever-growing to-do list – and the first to fall is always anything to do with taking care of myself. I bet you do the same thing, huh?

dream shopping

french chair Shopping is like therapy to me. I don’t have to really buy anything to have fun, it’s more like an inspirational journey to see what I’m in love with at the moment. My crushes run the gambit of a 15 year old girl, so I love to get out and see new things. Problem is, I don’t really like leaving my house. There’s the whole “put on make-up, fix your hair, find clothes” dilemma – so I get my fix virtual shopping. Wanna come along with me? I found a buncha stuff I’m loving this week at Joss & Main. Some things are a steal, while others are way outta my price range (but I drool anyways) like this gorgeous Napoleon Wing Back chair. A little pricey at $899.95, it’s still dreamy, huh?

Treat mom (the easy way!)

IMG_8854 Mother’s Day is almost here – can you believe it? It sneaks up on me every year like clockwork, though. Just like the birthdays I forget, graduations I scramble to find gifts for, and other last minute holidays that I put off until the last second – they always mean another trip into “town.”
