Pecan Cobbler Recipe

A few years ago I first encountered Pecan Cobbler at my favorite local restaurant - it was gastromical heaven.  Sadly, the place closed, and I was kind of devastated at the idea of never having it again. What's a girl to do? Figure out her own pecan cobbler recipe. I scoured Pinterest and Google, but after trying dozens of versions, I mixed and matched ingredients until I got the perfect Pecan Cobbler. If you like pecan pie, then you've hit the jackpot. This cobbler is about a million times ... continue reading...

Teen Girl Room Makeover

Teen rooms are so much fun to decorate. You can go with their personality and pull out some pretty cool ideas if you just listen to them about what they want. My Bre is no different - I listened to what she wanted, added in some pretty colors and fabrics, and in just a few weeks we pulled together her room makeover. There was a lot of DIY going on in here, so let's take a look at the whole room!    First, we planked the ceiling. I intended to paint the wood, but she loved the ... continue reading...

Four years ago my home was a little more country, and now I'd like to think that it's a little more ... continue reading...

You've probably got everything you need right in your kitchen. They take basic ingredients, and you can have them made from start to freezer in less than 10 minutes. Of course, it does take a few hours for them to set, but if you make them the night before (or in the morning before you leave for work), the waiting time isn't so bad. ... continue reading...

DIY Oversized Floor Pouf {inspired by West Elm}

When we decided it was time to makeover Bre's room, she asked for a big floor pouf. She fell in love with one at West Elm, but it was a little pricey so I told her I'd try to make it. I was a little scared at first, because it seemed a little overwhelming. Yes, I can sew, and I do a pretty good job. I don't know why I was so scared, but I scoured tutorials all over the interwebs trying to figure out the easiest and least miserable way to make it, because every single tutorial I found made it ... continue reading...

Hey there, I’m Gina!

I believe in the magic of soft living, finding joy in every day moments, and building a magical life from the inside out. I’ve spent the last 15+ years sharing my story online – through creativity, healing, and a little rebellious sparkle.

I’m a writer, dreamer, and witchy woman who believes your everyday life should feel enchanting.

Most days you’ll find me with paint on my hands, dirt under my nails, and a journal full of big dreams. I’m so glad you’re here.
