Our upstairs bath looks like this: Basic builder-grade everything. This is considered the kids’ bathroom, but since we moved our master bedroom upstairs last fall and made our downstairs bedroo...
There are many things I like about having red hair. The uniqueness. The compliments. The supposed higher pain tolerance that comes with it. And I actually really do like the color of my hair. I would...
I had great intentions of having Ryan snap a photo of me each day for this post – somewhere scenic and beautiful and not just me standing awkwardly in front of a flimsy mirror like normal. The ...
You know you are getting old when the food you ate is one of the highlights of your trip. Oh, but it was. It was all so delicious … fresh, local, great flavor … and we indulged. One of my...
Two years ago our group of friends were out to dinner and we realized that we all shared the same wedding year {well, except for me and Ryan – we are one year behind}. Someone threw out the ide...

It’s InstaFriday at life rearranged and this week I decided to play a little game. I was curious what my day actually looks like from hour to hour and so instead of sharing the past week with y...
One of the easiest ways to add a personal touch to any room in your house is with artwork. But if you are anything like me, collecting ‘real’ art is a bit out of my league. And that is wh...

A few weeks ago I posted this picture of my haphazard tulips. A reader suggested dropping in a penny the next time I bought a bunch to keep them from drooping. And so I did. Well, what do you know, I...
It’s been three months {1/4 of the year} since we all set our goals for the new year. Since I am more of a reflect-on-the-past-type-of-gi rl than a plan-for-the-future-type-of-gi rl {what does th...
This is what our front door looked like Saturday morning: and a few hours later: The sun was out, the kids were happily bouncing on the neighbors’ trampoline and I had the itch for a quick proj...
Let’s start this week’s Instagram snapshots with this pretty image. One of the best parts of living where we do is the abundance of daffodils – which makes them very cheap. And that...

My husband makes fun of me because every time a new holiday comes I adamantly declare that it is my favorite. But Easter really is my favorite. Christmas gets all the attention. We spend months prep...
Spring in the Pacific Northwest is notorious for its unpredictability and split personality. One minute its pouring – usually when we’re headed out the door – and the next it is bri...
Random stuff to chat about today … First up, tulips. I’m so glad spring is here. Even if the first spring flowers do look a bit unruly after only a few days. Can you tell what we’re...
