Beautiful European Cottage Autumn Kitchen Decor: Copper, Plum, & Pumpkin
I’m so happy with the way that our Autumn kitchen decor turned out this year! It was so easy to decorate and yet it’s still so beautiful! If you read about our living room decor then you know that I’ve decided to go with a color scheme that reminds me of my childhood home. I honestly am so happy with how it all came together.

Simple Must-Haves For A Stunning Backyard Boho Garden Party
Summer isn’t over yet, so why not create some amazing memories with a stunning backyard boho garden party before Fall officially arrives? Family Centered Boho Garden Parties Fall is my favorite season. But this year with my oldest starting kindergarten I’m trying to hold on to Summer for as long as possible. Honestly, it’s not summer I’m trying to hold on to. It’s my time with her. I know this is something that every mom experiences. As happy and excited as I am, I’m terrified and stressed. It’s so hard learning to let go. Whether you’re letting go while they head off to college, get married, or start kindergarten. The…

We’re Having Another Girl| An Open Heart Message
This is something that I’ve been so excited to share with you! We have been working on growing our family through adoption for a couple years and we’re getting closer! I’ve mentioned a few times that we’re adopting, but I haven’t shared very much more than that. In the early stages, there really wasn’t much more to say. The Boring Paperwork The beginning of the story is boring and full of ink and paper, social worker visits, psychological evaluations, and waiting. Lots of waiting. But recently we got some exciting news! Receiving Our Match We received our “match”!!! Which, if you’re unfamiliar with adoption lingo, simply means we finally know…

How to Take Care of Hydrangea | When to Prune
We have a lot going on in the garden this year, and one of those things is learning how to take care of hydrangea plants. My mom gifted me 4 hydrangea plants and I’m so excited to add them to the kitchen garden we are creating!! In my visions they will be large and beautiful, with blooms and foliage popping through the split rail fence that we put around the perimeter of the garden. If you know me and my husband, you know that we are really into preparation. We would prepare ourselves to death before we make a decision. We’re getting MUCH better at just jumping right in, but…
