For the love of family, home & handmade
I love the nautical style, for fashion and the home.
I love this nautical inspired Etsy treasury, curated by Moran Alhalel. I may have to get that red ship wheel for my red kitchen. Thank you Moran for including my nautical coasters.

“Today I become a bride, tomorrow I’ll be a wife, always will I be your daughter, never out of your life.”
Your wedding day is of course one your most important and special days of your life, but it is also for your mom. There are so many special and unique gifts I found on Etsy to remind your mother that they will always be in your life, no matter what.

Happy dad’s day to all the wonderful dads…including my fave dad in my world…my husband, Mark, who is the best dad to my wonderful boys. My boys are so blessed to have you in their lives!
I hope you all have a great day!

If you’re like me and tend to wait to the last minute to put together gifts, I made this little list of some great DIY/printable gift ideas for dear ol’ dad (remember dad’s day is tomorrow!). Aren’t the tie gift bags adorable?! I’m giving my hubby (shhhh, don’t tell him!) the guy time tickets since right now time to himself is probably the most valuable thing I could give the guy who works full time, is a part time college and dad to 2 boys under the age of 6.
Just a note, when you click on the photo it will take you to my Pinterest board so click one more time for the link to the actual printable/DIY instructions.
Hope you all have a wonderful Father’s Day with your fave father in your life!

I love the rustic style and I equally love this Etsy treasury curated by Blue Side Design. I love the clock and the honeycomb ring. Thank you so much for including my owl magnets.

Road trips with little kids is not really my fave thing to do in the world. I’m the type of driver that just wants to get to our destination as quickly as possible, no stops! But that doesn’t really work with my 2 boys. “Are we almost there” chime in the background every mile or so. When I was the kid and I asked that same question, I was ALWAYS told “only 6 more miles!” (no matter how long the actual trip was). So that is what I tell my kids now. Ahhh, the full circle of life. ::smile:: But I do try to make the trip as fun as possible for the kids, with the hopes that the trip will be fun for us adults too.

Well it’s been an interesting week for this chick (oh yes pun intended). A week ago, a stomach virus starting attacking each member of the family. My kids were sick, I was sick and today wrapped up with my hubby getting sick. I’m praying and crossing very finger and toe (ok I can’t do that but I can try!), that the sickness is gone from our home. YUCK!
Sean had his last day of kindergarten this week. I felt more emotional about this last day then I did the first day. I couldn’t believe his first “real” year of school was over.
I’m just blown away how quickly kids grow and how fast time really does fly when you have kids. These milestone moments overwhelm me with emotions of happiness, sadness and feeling so proud of my kids, all rolled into a ball of mama tears.
Last weekend, Alex started soccer practice. It was a perfect day to be outdoors (a rarity here in MN this year) to watch Alex learning the soccer ropes.
I hope you all have a good weekend and stay healthy!
