I have to tell you, I’m sitting here in a bit of a cold sweat right now imagining what kind of mom I might someday be if this is how very “extra” I am as a big sister and even as a daughter…. If you made it through all these images and are now reading […]
Oh boy, this post has taken me a while to get up. It’s funny how you can believe, like I do, that carrying around a camera and taking photos can help you to see even more clearly the beauty around you; to create and remember moments, but…. occasionally….. be too busy living to spend much […]
This is just a little peek into some of my favorite spots/pieces in our Hawaii home! I have a constant, rolling list of things I want to do or add, but it’s also good to just sit in contentment every once in a while and share progress – so it felt like time for this […]
I haven’t been able to blog as much as I might’ve liked in the past week or so because I’ve been pretty busy with work and preparing for our first Hawaii guests! Christian’s family will be visiting us this week, and we really want to make sure we have everything we need to make their […]

I don’t think I even once put on a […]
Once upon a time, there was a girl who thought all rainy days should mean a free pass from having to perform life; that they should be spent with good music, warm coffee and a little whimsy. She loved when the sky stayed dark after the sun should’ve already bathed everything in sepia light, and […]
I feel like you and I are still very much in the “get to know me” phase. Whether you’ve known me for years and are just following along with the newest chapter in my story or you’re completely new in these parts and only know me as The Closet Mermaid (which is pretty freaking cool, […]
Leading up to Valentine’s Day, I have been working on giving each room a little bit of a romantic aesthetic, just to be festive. And, side note, I love how our bedroom decor is starting to come together! I won’t claim to be an expert on how to celebrate holidays, but I am a huge […]
