DIY Halloween Costume: Swan Lake

admin — Thu, 24 Oct 2019 02:05:25 +0000

DIY SWAN LAKE This happens to me every year, I never know when to start planning my Halloween costume bc I never really know my plans that far in advance. I end up either throwing something together last minute or doing absolutely nothing bc even if I end up having plans the effort just isn’t there. But this Halloween I’m so excited, because Adaline is finally old enough to understand playing “dress up”. Last year was dicey so we put her in skeleton pajamas to be safe but I was impressed with how quick she took to trick or treating, going door to door to get candy. Candy that mommy and daddy only ate but maybe this year I will give her a piece or two. Maybe. So! I wanted to share my quick and easy DIY Halloween costumes I made all via our beloved, Amazon Prime. We actually went to Party City to pick out a family costume but they all just looked cheap to me and I felt a bit overwhelmed. So we left with a shark costume for dada because, like every kid, Adaline is still obsessed with Baby Shark and I left feeling inspired to come […]

Guest Room Makeover

Guest Room Makeover Welp this post is long over due. The makeover, the post, everything, But that’s life as a mom. I weigh my priorities and our poor little guest room was the last on the list when moving in just over a year ago. Fortunately, my husband’s parents were coming to visit for Adaline’s 2nd birthday which gave me the motivation to get in there! I executed from scratch in less than one week and I must say that I am quite impressed with how it turned out considering the little time I had in my days. We still have a lot of work to do including painting the walls and changing out the curtains to shutters but hey, one step at a time. I have potty training a temper mental two year old on the top of the list with a much needed vacation maybe, hopefully somewhere down the road. I wanted to go for a clean, California style look. Fresh crisp white with touches of light pink and green. Of course the guest room also acts as our peloton station so we had to work around it. Tight spaces here in LA, but we do what we […]

Baby Girl’s Nursery Reveal

admin — Wed, 22 Mar 2017 11:00:06 +0000

I have been daydreaming about my baby’s nursery ever since Pinterest first came on the scene. This was well before the possibility of a baby was even realized. Who doesn’t enjoy making story boards and pinning pictures of beautiful nurseries? So I was surprised that when it came time to actually put together a nursery, I was at a complete loss with where to start. I enjoy the visually artistic side of things, especially when it comes to wardrobe assembly, but interior design feels like an entirely foreign concept to me. There is also the disconnect between having a vision and executing that vision. And to add to the dire situation even more, I came to find that my husband was very opinionated about every decision from colors to overall decor. So despite the fact that we thought we had a vision and had been slowly collecting pieces to use in the nursery, we just couldn’t figure out how to decorate our nursery. Lucky for me, I was introduced to Laurel & Wolf. They are an affordable online interior design. They have provided so much ease in what can be such an intimidating and frustrating process. All I had to […]
