A Simple Winter Table

Scandinavian blood in my veins or not, I'm not keen on getting us out and about when it's windy and rainy, so this Saturday, between a grocery adventure and a nice 3.5 mile run when the sun broke through in the late afternoon, I went through and de-Christmas'ed the house. As much as I find [...]

Simple Foraged Christmas Wreath

I like artificial wreaths indoors just for the ease of maintenance, but I love having a real wreath on the front door. There is something about the smell of pine forest and nature as you walk in the door that just sets the stage for warm and comfortable holiday feelings. But let's be real. The [...]

Guest Room to Nursery :: Week 4

Here we are at Week Four of the One Room Challenge, where we've been transforming our guest room into a new nursery/bedroom for baby Marcus. And I'm happy to say that even though I didn't get any of the DIY projects done - still no name sign, no drapes, no toy storage, and no shelves [...]

Newborn Photos with Susan Kruger Photography

I love photography. It's one of my favorite hobbies. But when you're the photographer, you've always got tons of photos of your loved ones, of family get togethers, of amazing memories - but you're never in any of them! Granted, my camera has a timer and I have a remote, but that's not a substitute [...]

Behind the Scenes :: Master Bedroom Board + Batten

Last week, I showed you a little of what we were doing around here to prepare for little man's arrival - mainly replacing our awful carpet with beautiful hardwood floors. Today, I'm going to show you what we did to finish the room off. It still strikes me as funny that we started the major [...]

More cupcake shenanigans? Why, sure! Marmalade filled chocolate cupcakes with a light, fluffy, and subtly orange frosting and candied orange slices on top! ❤️🧁
Caramel fudge filled chocolate cupcakes with salted caramel buttercream and chocolate crumbles on top. Yum and yum!! 🧁❤️
Anyone else need some of these German chocolate cupcakes in their lives right now? The kids making these for their project made everything in each of the cupcakes from scratch. I’m in awe. 🧁❤️
I spent today working on one of the most creative collaborations I’ve done in a long time. Four teenagers, one marketing class project, about 60 cupcakes, and a ton of fun!! Will be posting some of the highlights of their work soon, and hopefully stealing some of the recipes to recreate myself! 🧁
Either trying to figure out where to start decorating or still trying to figure out how this giant tree got in his house 🎄❤️
Hunting for a tree at @silverbrooknurseryy on a gorgeous and brisk morning 🎄❤️
