We are taking the kids Easter egg hunting this Saturday and they are so excited. This will be the third year in a row that we’ll be attending our neighborhood’s annual egg hunt. We’re establishing our own little family traditions and rituals with each holiday. The best gift about being a parent is living life through the eyes of … More DIY Paper-Napkin Decoupage (Spring Blossom) Easter Eggs
I love city life. The bustling energy is invigorating and provides a great source of inspiration and creativity. The daily hustle and tight square footage may be a little overwhelming, stressful or even claustrophobic to some, but beauty is in the eye of the beholder. I thrive on everything city living has to offer. Boston … More City Mom- The Daily Grind
I love me a beautifully crafted flat lay. They are really popular on Instagram and you can find flat lays of all sorts- beauty, workspace, fashion, food, etc. To me, it’s a form of photography styling. Usually, flat lays consist of multiple elements in a shot where they are styled to be showcased either randomly … More Visual Storytelling via Flat Lays

I am currently on a red-eye flight back to Boston. I’ve been away for almost a week and miss my home and family terribly!! Can’t wait to get back and cuddle with the little ones. Bond Twenty just wrapped up its first social networking event in Dallas and it was such a great success! The … More #BondTwentyDallas Snippets
I can’t believe that Easter is this weekend! Tomorrow, we are taking the kids to an Easter egg hunt. This year, Axel will be old enough to enjoy the festivity and I can’t wait to see how excited he’ll get. Just wish that the weather was a lot warmer so that Zoey could wear a … More 11 Simple DIY Easter Ideas
Last year, I received a note from Lauren, the founder of Bond Twenty asking if I’d like to contribute to the site in some way. Initially, I didn’t pay much attention because in all honesty, I receive random emails to contribute all the time. I replied with a one snobbish sentence asking to see the site. … More Hello Bond Twenty!
We don’t get to host Thanksgiving dinner as much as I’d like. Usually, we would travel out of state to either my family or the hubs’. This year, however, we are hosting for the second time- ever. It’s nice to start building holiday traditions with the kids. While it’ll be freezing outside, inside our kitchen … More DIY Holiday Ice Bucket
Halloween in our home is serious business. Probably just as serious as Thanksgiving and Christmas. It’s not like we have a choice really- when there are over 3000 trick-or-treaters knocking on your door in a night, you’d better be ready. It’s also so much fun for the kiddos (secretly, I’m happy to be a kid again) to help … More Halloween at Home
To decorate without commitment, that is every girl’s dream. Imagine creating a wall photo collage where it requires so much planning, time, and effort only to tear it down because you’ve had a change of heart. It is just so painful. However, this is not the case with fireplace mantels. You can decorate it to … More Back to the Basics
If you are both a Spring and home decor lover, you’ll appreciate this post. Here’s what’s happening with our living room as of late. The highlights? Cherry branches from our backyard, gold wallpaper c/o Graham & Brown, and of course the one and only troublemaker, Mr. Axel! Loving how these delicate cherry blossom branches stand … More Spring in My Living Room
Hello! This post is kinda sorta random. There’s no rhyme or reason. I’ve been so busy with the little troublemakers being sick that I haven’t had a chance to really do anything else at all. My life right now is 100% consumed with taking care of the kiddos and getting them back to being healthy! … More Random Abode Notes
It’s very rare that I can enjoy a peaceful quiet morning by myself. Between mommy duties, home renovations, and work (many exciting new partnerships in the works…), it’s a miracle if I can even shower for more than 15 minutes. Life of a modern mom right? So when opportunity presents itself, I don’t object. In … More Quiet Mornings
I’ve been on a Spring cleaning rampage! Opportunity has presented itself where I can focus a lot more on transforming my house into a dream home and being more committed to this blog. You probably already know that our home renovation is in full swing (for the past year). Now that I can dedicate much more … More DIY: Clipboard Makeover + 2015 Shoe Fashion Illustration Calendar GIVEAWAY! (Ends March 20th)
This past week has been draining to say the least. We cancelled our trip to Disney and my brother’s wedding (!) because Axel caught a nasty bug the very day before we had to fly. Perhaps more on that later… I haven’t spent that much time with Zoey so when it was just me and … More DIY: Chocolate Flavored Spoons
Isn’t just painful that you spend so much money on fresh flowers and they barely last for a week? I don’t care where you get your blooms; we all face the same problem. Once they begin to wilt, the water starts to smell like mildew so the next logical step is to toss them out, … More Half-Wilted
If you look outside my windows, you would see mounds of snow about 5 feet high. That doesn’t stop me from celebrating the arrival of Spring inside. Yep, I also realize that Spring doesn’t officially start until March 20th (I’ve marked my calendar!). So how does one actually prepare oneself for Spring? In my case, … More Spring-Ready Coffee Table (with Austin Leigh OC)
Despite living in a somewhat spacious home, I don’t have the closet of my dreams- yet. My future closet still remains on the ‘to be renovated’ list. Currently, my clothes and accessories are scattered across several rooms. The classic morning dilemma is racking my brain and exerting way too much energy trying to find that … More The Mobile Closet
Good Saturday morning! What time do you usually wake up on the weekends? We’ve been up since 5am! Since then, I’ve made two batches of Chocolate Heart Barks for our neighbors who were so nice enough to save us a parking spot during the snowstorm. Also did a load of laundry and tidied up the … More Inspiring Spaces
This weekend Zoey and I worked on a little Valentine’s sweet treat project. It was fairly quick and super easy. When I say quick & easy, please take my word for it. No lie. This is coming from a mommy of two who is time-deprived and doesn’t spend more than 10 mins. on anything. Plus … More DIY: White Chocolate Heart Barks
