an apology.

Sorry I've been MIA for awhile. We just finished an addition over our family room, and I finally feel like I can breath again. I will share pictures of the girls new room one of these days, but I still have a few finishing touches to complete.

When the girls moved rooms, Finn moved rooms (to their old room) opening up a room for the new baby. So I've been day dreaming of all kinds of fun kids spaces.

Here are some things I've been pinning to share with you:

I fell in love with this headboard seen on the happy home, and am trying to convince Ryan to build one for Finn's new big boy room.

You all know I love a great party, and this one from call me badger is not only amazing.. it only cost $54!! Thanks to my cute friend Natalie for emailing me the link!

This quote seen on Modern Hepburn had Ryan and I cracking up. I love it!

I loved these necklaces as soon as I saw them. The girls seriously need one. Ok I don't know about need, but anyway.

I am really wishing I could re-create this kids carwash seen on Hip Hip Hooray. It looks like so much fun!

I was at Nordstrom last night and saw these TOMS for the girls. I wanted to buy them so bad, but refrained since they just both got a new pair. I'm crossing my fingers for more fun styles come back to school.

Finally, this nursery totally caught my eye. It's not a color palette I would normally lean towards with a girl, but I find this very refreshing. It has all kinds of ideas spinning in my brain.

Now if only I could come up with a name. I am really struggling this time around. It's our third girl, and it's really throwing me for a loop. Any great name suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Happy Wednesday everyone!

Things I loved this week...

This outfit, seen on pinterest, but I can't find the real source. I love love love it. Wouldn't the girls look so adorable in it?

Marta's layered ramekin cakes. YUM! and cute too.

Page Corner bookmarks DIY tutorial. These would be so fun and well used around our house.

I think this laundry basket dresser is a genius way to ease the pain of laundry day. I absolutely want to make it. The tutorial doesn't look too bad either. Bonus!

Loved this simple but cute way to dress up a cookie mix. Great idea for teacher appreciation week coming up!

One Fish, Two Fish, Red Fish, Blue Fish!

I am so excited and honored that Brittany asked me to guest post on my son's 2nd birthday!

For my son's second birthday, I decided to take off from his current book obsessed: Dr. Seuss' One Fish, Two Fish, Red Fish, Blue Fish. He brings it to me what seems like 126 times a day to be read. It was a no brainer that this would be the theme for his little party.

Last year, I relied on Etsy a lot for his party decor, so I decided to go back this year. I used the amazing seller, Party on Boutique, for the invitation and cupcake toppers…


We had the party at a park and instead of tablecloths, I actually wrapped the picnic tables in fun wrapping I found at Paper Source. It tied in with the theme perfectly. To add a personal touch, I framed a few of my son's 2-year pictures and had them displayed on the tables.For an added treat, I made some candy coated marshmellow pops. Very simple and very easy. Just put marshmellows on a lollipop stick, melt some candy melts, dip the pop in the melts, dip in sprinkles, and wala! I displayed them in some mason jars filled with swedish fish. They were fun and the kids loved them. When it came to favors, I always love to do something a little different or unique. I found an awesome seller on Etsy, Brown Bag Bath Bars, that makes homemade soaps. She offered to make red and blue, fish shaped, scented soaps. She even threw in some personalized favor tags! By the end of this post, you will see that I have a small addiction to Etsy. When it came down to what the birthday boy was going to wear, I knew I wanted something that reflected his big number 2. Picadilly Circus Designs did his shirt and I just loved it. We didn't really need to plan any activities, since the party was at the park. The kids ran, jumped, skipped and played before it was time to sing Happy Birthday to the little boy of the hour.By the end of the day, the birthday boy was exhausted and ready to head home for naps. It was such a perfect day and we already can't wait for next year!

egg hunt invites.

I saw these spotted eggs on Poppytalk and thought they would be the perfect invite for Lily's egg hunt birthday party. I am super happy with how well they turned out. I spray painted mine and let them dry, then dotted with acrylic paint.

This was the invite rolled up inside the egg.

and the box all packaged and ready to be delivered.

Stay tuned for more fun party details!
