I don’t know about you, but I’ve started grabbing a sweater in the morning here,so it seems fair to say that Fall is making its way to San Diego. Do you have a favorite season? I never thought I’d say fall was mine but I’m going to. And here’s why.
I have wanted to make my own pom pom baskets for quite some time. I’ve seen the $100 version making its way around Instagram and figured hey, I can make that! So here’s my tutorial for DIY pom pom baskets. They’re easy to make and look adorable.
My first Thanksgiving in San Diego I made the genius decision to fill our garbage disposal with potato scraps while peeling potatoes. Having just moved from New York City where garbage disposals are illegal I had never really used one. As you can imagine, it was an unmitigated disaster and I spent the evening washing dishes in our garage. BUT (silver lining) I learned a few things.
Looking for a kid friendly cleaning kit? I’ve got you covered. If you read my post about Inherited Anti-Cleaning Disorder then you’ve come to the right place. Here’s simple kid friendly cleaning kit with some fun supplies that might just gasp get your child to help clean!

Last year I hosted my first BIG family Christmas in our not-that-big home. We squished, it was cozy. Memories were made. No dinners were burned. Victory! Having a 4 month old baby I had to be realistic about my ability to truly deck the halls. Sad face. This year I’m in Buddy The Elf mode but having a one year old with no fear I’m a bit nervous about ornaments so my focus is directed at the mantle. A place which is still (thank goodness) out of reach.
I started by taking a few of my favorite family photos and turning them into true works of art by creating framed photo canvases from the Snapfish home decor options. This photo has a special story behind it and it was long overdue to come out of the digital world and become a part of our home.
Want to create a great looking custom word art canvas but don’t want to spend all day doing it? Here is how to make the perfect word art canvas or inspirational phrase canvas without schlepping to the craft store, spending a lot of money on supplies and hoping things come out right.
As a total fan of those cheeky, sweet and inspiring signs you see in stores I’ve longed to make my own but don’t have the patience for vinyl lettering a ton of text, hoping it comes out straight and painting, gluing and waiting for things to dry. I wanted EASY and foolproof. Which is exactly what I got. YAY!
