evolution of my home | part 9 | the boys’ room
And now it’s time for part nine of my in-depth house tour, showing how our home has evolved over the (almost) nine years we’ve lived in it. This is how the boys’ room looks today… We have two boys who are 19 months apart. They’re now 8 (Marshall) and almost 7 (Calvin, the one with type […]
how my business began | part 1
I’ve shared about my business before and how it all began, but I haven’t shared the entire story. …and it’s time that I do. So, let’s go back to 2008. I was a youth pastor’s wife/stay-at-home mom of a 2-month-old and 17-month-old. The story of my life was diapers and bottles. And for someone who […]
megan’s office | part 2 |the “franken-chair”
Back to Megan’s office makeover… In case you missed part 1, you can find it HERE. Right away, we started talking about what she had in the space and in her basement stash that we could use an repurpose. There’s no sense in buying something new when you can shop your own house! Since this […]
10 minute decorating | teacup topiaries

beginnings of a potting bench
This has been the year when gardening finally clicked for me. I’m not saying I’m great at it, but I’m trying. I’m working at it…learning, wanting to get better, turning a black thumb to green. Along with the interest in the garden and plants, I decided to spruce up our outdoor living space as well. […]
megan’s office | part 1 | the before
My brother called the other day and asked how I was doing after “the post.” I knew exactly which post he was referring to and you probably do, too. “I’m really fine! 99% of the comments were constructive and they helped me think through what’s next.” My brother pointed out that it’s time for the next. […]
antique blue & white pedal car
I’m not into cars at all. I drive an old van with over 230,000 miles on it and I’m content. I know exactly how many pieces of furniture I can wedge into it. But, if money weren’t an object, and I wanted to spend it on a car that was purely for fun, I […]
