Favorites From September

Happy Friday, everyone! It's snowing right now in Highlands Ranch. Yes. I'm actually loving it, although I always hated snow when I lived here, haha. Absence makes the heart grow fonder, I suppose. Today I'm sharing my favorites from around the web for the month of September!

{1}This kitchen makeover from one of my favorite blogs is just amazing in every way. I am still astonished that most of it was done with paint!

{2} I love all of the natural elements in these vintage fall mantels. Great blog too!

{3} I have a Christmas version of this stove top potpourri that I love, but I am excited to try out the fall version.

{4}  This adorable bow-themed birthday makes me kind of wish I had a little girl to copy it for.

{5} Here's a great blog for kiddo activities and I really want to do this glow-in-the-dark bath water.

{6} I'm going to make some of these zinc letters for the laundry room.

{7} We went to H&M the other day and I want to go back and get these comfy pants.

What links are you loving from the past few weeks? Have a great weekend!

Favorites from August

There is so much inspiration and good information available through Pinterest and blogs these days, so I thought I would share a few of my favorites I've seen around the web in August.

1// I am so inspired by this oversized art print and found it on with this new-to-me website.

2// If I had a little girl in school, she would be getting this backpack. You can flip it back and forth for a new look! So sweet.

3// And once Parker is in school, I will seriously "encourage" him to want this superhero backpack, complete with a cape!

4// Ready or not, Christmas will be here before we know it (!), and I've already got my eye on this free printable that looks like Santa's personal stationery.

5// This no-sew pleated curtain tutorial is seriously genius. I love easy projects like this that look high-style.

6// Need a place to put your iPhone while you run? I do. This DIY running belt is cute and looks pretty simple.

7// Dollar-store table cloths turned into a streamer backdrop? And I've found the decor for Parker's 2nd birthday party! Thank you very much. 

8// Ever wondered how to set a formal place setting? Here you go. Cute blog, too!

Have an amazing weekend!

Favorites From July

Since July is ending (a little too quickly, in my opinion), I thought I would share a few of my favorite things I've seen around the web in the last month.

1//  I love this beautiful laundry room from Little Green Notebook. She made this over on a super tight budget and with pretty much nothing but paint. Ah, the power of paint. I also LOVE her new house! Can't wait to watch Jenny decorate.

2//  I just (like yesterday) discovered the website, Keep. And I am obsessed. It's like Pinterest but for things you want to buy or save for. Talk about helping my brain out when I'm trying to compare items that I want to buy online.

I found these lovely measuring bowls from West Elm on Keep. Wouldn't they be fun to display on open shelving in my new kitchen? I've been so into kitchen pretties lately.

3//  I also love this necklace. Not that I have much to wear it to anymore, but it would be great for date night or church. 

4//  I've had two of these raglan tees from Gap in my shopping cart for the last month, and then I saw this girl wearing one of them, and it basically sealed the deal for me. I must have them.

5//  I love going through blog archives of my favorite blogs, and lately I have really been enjoying the Good Design - Kids in Mind series from 6th Street Design School. I've read almost every post! Perfect for the anti-tacky-toy-but-I-still-love-my-kid OCD freak like me. 

Have a great weekend!
