We finished the master bathroom and master bathroom remodel last year (click HERE to see the bathroom!) and I am just now getting around to posting pictures of the master bedroom!

Little Martha Stewart: Ainsley Crouse
I hope everyone had a fantastic 2017! This year was a year for me to take a bit of a step back from blogging and creating, but I am feeling confident that I will get back to the creativity for 2018. To end the year off here, I will share the coolest job Ainsley has […]
Master Bathroom Remodel
Time for another remodel reveal! Check out the Home Tour page for other rooms in our house. Back in April, I had posted our plans for the Master Bathroom remodel HERE. Be sure to check it out to see before pictures. The previous bathroom was in desperate need of a gut job, and after saving […]
Ainsley’s Singing Recital: Modified Caroline Party Dress
Little Ainsley had her singing recital tonight (scroll down for a snippet of her singing), and of course, I had to make her a new dress. Using my Caroline Party Dress pattern, I modified it to make this beautiful dress. The bodice is knit, the sash and underskirt is satin, and the overskirt is chiffon. […]
Recap of 2014
Beginning a new year is like a reset button. You can decide what worked and what didn’t work that previous year and you have the power to change anything you would like. It is refreshing and daunting all at the same time. I like to look back on everything I have accomplished within that year […]
My Kitchen Nightmare (and tips to avoid it)
At the risk of sounding completely overdramatic, I am totally, utterly, outstandingly devastated. The kitchen remodel that I have dreamed about for 4 years, diligently saved up for 2 years, and spent months planning has turned into a complete nightmare with very upsetting consequences. My ultimate dream of creating the children’s clothing line I have planned for, saved […]
Ainsley: Chai Lifeline Commercial
Hi guys! I have been a bit quiet around here and I have good reason. There has been SO much going on (I will explain the rest at a later day…. it is fun stuff!), but mainly, I have just been so incredibly busy. We have a full kitchen remodel going on…. pics will follow, […]
Ethan: Second Grade
Ahh!! I can’t believe I have a second grader! Last week, I shared Ainsley’s kindergarten photos and Ethan is up today. He is an amazing 7 year old and I know that he will have a fantastic year at school. For some reason, second grade seems so….. grown up. Not sure why. Ethan was very […]
First Day of Kindergarten: Ainsley
Summer was amazing and wonderful and peaceful. I am always so sad when it ends, but I do enjoy seeing my kids’ growing excitement about the return to school. A new school year means new friends, new experiences, and new knowledge. Ainsley misses the public school cut off by 10 days, so we decided to […]
An Enjoyment Break
So, this has been a crazy, nutty, exciting, and unbelievable year. Some things I haven’t been able to share yet, but trust me, this has been one of the most exciting times of my life. However, I have decided that I need to embrace what is left of summer and simply put a few things […]
7 Years Old: A Learning Process
It has been a long time since I have posted truly personal, life type things here, but I feel that it is time to revisit a bit of myself and my feelings. After all, that is how this blog came to be in the first place. I started this blog when Ethan was around a […]
Ethan’s Last Day of First Grade
I don’t know why I am always shocked when a school year ends… I mean, I have the entire year to prep for it, but somehow, it always shocks me that my kids have grown so much and it seems to go so fast. Ethan finished his last day of First Grade and he is […]
Ainsley’s Piano Recital
Ainsley just had her first piano recital and she needed a new dress (of course!) I knew I wanted something simple and elegant, but yet with a pop of “wow”! I stumbled across the Rabbit Rabbit Hummingbird Dress a few days ago and thought it would be perfect for the look I needed. I […]
Ainsley Graduates Preschool!
This past week was super emotional for me. My “baby” girl is growing up so fast and it really hit me how precious time is. Ainsley will be 5 in September and starting at a private kindergarten program… how on earth did that happen? Every year, I take a first day of school and last day […]
