In LOVE with this gift from Face to Face Framing! Brigitte so generously sent this frame with a picture of my little bugger from Nicole Hoxie Photography. I almost boobed a little when I got it because I already forget how tiny those little feet were. These little feet can hardly stay still now…

The Ikea episode is airing tomorrow night at 8pm in my area. While you’ll be laughing and pointing at my diligent building and reading the famous Ikea wordless instructions, [...]

Do you feel this way about your furniture? “Meet Hank. Hank is a dependable and sturdy young fellow [...]

This. Blows. My. Mind. It started with a facebook message from my brother: And then I got this in the mail: Can you believe this was made from these? My brother told me that he googled an image of a horse, printed it out and created his own pattern. Inside the horse is a bell… [...]

She is the mastermind behind many of my favorite pieces of jewelry, JessLC.com, and we all love her Make Under My Life blog. Thank you Jess for the ohbaby shower! Many of you have [...]
