Halloween Fun 2017

by Michelle, in category Halloween, our family, Uncategorized

The first party was for a fundraiser at a local hotel.  The costumes were AMAZING!! So much creativity and originality! Many were even downright frightening.… Read More

There is no place like Hawaii (and a maxi/mini dress tutorial)

by Michelle, in category our family, Uncategorized

Aloha. When I close my eyes and think about Hawaii, I feel a distinct warmth come over me.  I imagine the blue water, endless beaches, amazing, colorful sunsets, palm  trees swaying in the warm breeze, the smell of sunscreen.  I picture the diverse landscape, each Island offering their own unique scenery.  I imagine incredible miles and miles of volcanic… Read More

Dresser to bathroom vanity a makeover!

by Michelle, in category DIY, our family, our home

Our children share their own bathroom in our home.  Over the years, I’ve tried keeping this space bright and fun by adding beach-inspired touches and decor. Years ago I added this vinyl “Splish Splash I was takin’ a bath” and hand-painted waves above their tub/shower.  It was cute back then but now at ages 18,… Read More
