I'm the oldest - I have two little sisters and a little brother. We've always been super close (as in we like each other a lot) but as we've grown up / gotten married/ graduated college etc, we have all started to get a little bit spread out. My brother is off at college in Arkansas and one of my sisters lives with her husband in Kansas City. Because of the distance we don't get to see each other as much so we have to take full advantage of the holidays! This year everyone came home and the ... continue reading...

I've been wanting to dip my toes into wallpaper for an embarrassingly long time. Yes I know, wallpaper is messy and a pain and ...outdated (or so you think!) I've done my fair share of scraping off layers of wallpaper from houses built in the 50's and spent my time in elementary school helping my mom hang up boarders around rooms (and then take them off again.) Even still, I've always loved something about it. ... continue reading...
