These prints are created from a sweet friend of mine Valerie McKeehan owner of Lily & Val. Valerie is the most wonderful chalk artist. She started doodling chalk pieces years ago and realized she had a passion for being creative and even better yet people wanted to buy her pieces. Valerie started with white chalk at first then over time added more color to her prints. In 2016 Valerie launched her very first flagship store and opened a brick + mortar in Pittsburgh. Her Keepsake Kitchen Dairy is my very first GIFT IDEA for Christmas 2017. I'm going to be sharing a lot of my favorite ideas throughout this Holiday season. One of … [Read more...]
The Simplified Planner Is Back
Today is THE DAY! The Launch of the 2017-2018 Simplified Planner... I find a lot of joy in planning ahead. It makes me feel at peace and helps me to prepare for what’s coming up. It helps me stay on top of my responsibilities and it holds me accountable for the things I don’t enjoy (like cleaning the floors!). Four years ago I attended The Inspired Retreat where I was honored to have met Emily Ley. She was a speaker at the conference I attended and she gifted each of us a Simplified Planner. I'm completely obsessed... The colors, patterns are amazing. But, most of all the pages have plenty of space to write. Today, I'm sharing the newest … [Read more...]

Flying The Coup
Eighteen years ago when I became a Mom, I never dreamed of THIS Summer. Eighteen years ago- I waited for teeth to come in, for her to eat solid foods, what size of diapers to purchase, what theme her birthday party would be, what she would wear on Halloween. As well as many more mile stones. But when you become a Mom you never think... what is it going to be like when she moves away (tear) Ellie is the perfect combination of her father and me! I seriously don't think I could be more proud of the young lady she has become. Ellie will be leaving in the Fall to attended Oregon State University.

Happy Birthday, Evan!
Yesterday, was Evan's 17th Birthday! I can hardly believe my baby boy is seventeen... What an amazing "sixteen" he had. Evan under went ACL (knee) surgery and I am so proud of his hard work and dedication with his Physical Therapy as well as working out. It's so hard when you are so active and then the next day on the couch. He is taking baby steps and improving everyday! I found this letter (a few years ago) another Blogger wrote to her son. It reminds me of Evan and would be exactly the words I would want to share with him... I pinned it on Pinterest, but I decided to share it because I loved it so. YOU DON'T HAVE TO FIT IN.
