State Wall Project

Today I want to share with you a project I’ve been working on for our new home! I’m so excited about this fun wall project because it is near and dear to my heart. Our little family of 5 consists of people all born in different states. Sounds strange to some I know but I’m sure there are others out there too. I love this interesting little fact about our family. It is part of our story, and our story is one of my favorite things!

The roofers were kind enough to leave behind two pallets, a crafty girl’s dream 🙂 I thought of at least 50 ways I wanted to use these pallets and settled on using one for my chalkboard pallet idea.

I am challenging them to use the guide I made to find one thing each day to be thankful for. The importance of stopping to be purposefully grateful can be overlooked.

Published!

Eek! So I got some really exciting mail today… from American Profile Magazine! I had in my hands 3 copies of the back to school issue that my blog post College Ruled T-shirts was featured in. I wrote this post 3 years ago and it was so much fun to see it resurface and even become a feature in a nationwide magazine! This full color magazine is printed and distributed in newspapers across America. Check them out at AmericanProfile.com. Continue reading “Published!”

Shark Cake

Today is my sweet oldest Katie’s 7th birthday! We already had a fun big Frozen themed party with friends. The girls like to celebrate their birthdays together and have a party between their two birthdays. So on the actual day we let them choose what I make for dinner, make a small cake at home and have a few local family members over for cake 🙂
