Pink & Gold Vintage First Birthday Party

Pink & Gold Vintage First Birthday Party

Zoe’s first birthday has come and gone, but we had so much fun celebrating the special little girl she is growing into!

Years ago, I remember reading this Elizabeth Stone quote:

“Making the decision to have a child – it is momentous. It is to decide forever to have your heart go walking around outside your body. ”

And although I thought I understood it’s meaning at the time, until you have a child of your own, I don’t think it’s possible to fully grasp exactly that feeling. Motherhood and the love you have for your child is an amazing and powerful thing.

Creating a space that is welcoming and comfortable is always at the forefront of my mind when I am designing a room, especially a room that is meant for relaxing and entertaining, like our living room. I want our family and friends to feel like they could curl up on our couch and sink into a bunch of soft pillows for a cozy afternoon nap or to enjoy family movie night.

So, it was important to me to find just the right pillows. I had two specific requirements of our new pillows. First, they needed to be family-friendly, that meant comfortable, sturdy and easy to clean, and secondly, they had to look beautiful too. They had to work for our family and appeal…

The Best Loaded Potato Soup

Good morning friends, I hope you had a lovely weekend. We enjoyed a long weekend bundled up at home, simply enjoying family time and trying to keep warm. Is the cold getting to anyone else yet?

We have been experiencing bitter cold weather lately and it has left me dreaming of spring. But in the meantime, we are battling the frigid temperatures with cozy sweaters, knit throws and lots of warm and hearty soups.

Nick created this recipe for Loaded Potato Soup, and I can say, it really is the best! It’s creamy and filling and it just…
