We've seen tons of amazing portrait artists we've absolutely loved (and hired) over the years, but the collaboration between photographer Anna Angenend and illustrator Amy Snyder may just be my favorite yet. These artists create custom p…

I'm long past the days of decorating a baby's room (sniff), but when you find inspirational nursery prints this wonderful and beautifully designed, it's a wonder we ever used to settle for those ubiquitous licensed children's characters …
I love that it's become par for the course these days to raise our girls with the knowledge that they can do whatever they want and be whomever they aspire to be -- astronaut, organic farmer, singer, plumber, President. And we're all hop…
My daughter's ideas for how she wants to decorate her room change daily, sometimes by the hour, so I'm having a hard time keeping up. Does she want turquoise walls, a hand-painted mural, or are we going with that all-white walls and brig…

Now that it's officially December, I will soon unpack and set up my childhood nativity set, even if our holidays are largely secular nowadays. However after three kids who turned my nativity into a sort of dollhouse toy each year, it's t…
It's about this time every year that we need to ramp up our efforts to get our homes organized and looking awesome for holiday guests. It's like, what the heck happened to all that spring cleaning I did six months ago? Yeah, well, welcom…
I've seen all these DIY tutorials around the web lately for handmade knot pillows and if you have as well, these images may look familiar. Only after a whole lot of searching and secret sourcing, turns out the original photos are not fro…
If you had told me, way back when, that one of my favorite tracks off Licensed to Ill would end up being the anthem of new parenthood -- and not of rockin' this party eight days a week -- I'd never have believed you. And yet there I was …

I'd like to preface this post by saying that I know inspiration quote art prints aren't everybody's jam. Kristen, for example, prefers funny inspirational quotes for her walls. Her picks are hysterical, but I admit that when I'm in the m…
