I’m in desperate need of a date with my camera. In fact I’m hoping to squeeze one in tomorrow – with my kiddos – out on the railroad track near our house. With a trunk. At sunset. woah, mama. I’ve never pulled off a “shoot” like this – perfect lighting, delicious loin-fruit {if I do say so myself}, surreal backdrop… Read More
The Big Unveil : Simply Bloom {Design}
“Happy birthday to me…as you shall soon see… I’ve been working my heinie off…on Simply Bloom {Design}, my glee!” Scratch that. I have no mad skills in the rhyming department, it is evident. After chewing a while on the fact that Pink Kangaroo Design was just too froo-froo a business name for the more corporate clientele I’ve been keeping {I’ve… Read More
P:31 & Responsibility Chart {Printable}
Well, my friends, my 31 days are officially up tomorrow…and at this point I’ve made it through 27 of the 31 “spaces”. While the perfectionist in me is tempted to be disappointed, the considerably larger portion of me that has grown to be more realistic amidst the chaos of parenting… is quite thrilled, actually. {knuckle bumps} While there is… Read More
Peonies & Aperture {& your June Desktop Wallpaper}
This is what happens when you put fuschia, aqua and avocado green in the same square foot. It creates beauty of epic proportion. When we were house hunting 3 years ago, anticipating my disappointment at the arrival of a new Spring without the 100+ tulips that I had grown accustomed to {and waited with baited breath for} that spilled out… Read More
Project: Declutter, Simplify & Maintain {31 Days}
“Our life is frittered away by detail… Simplify, simplify” ~ Henry Thoreau This mildly neurotic, type-A, control-freakish, list-loving organized gal has a thing for, well…organization. I love it! Cleaning house, especially without little loin-fruit under foot, is wildly therapeutic to me. With the right music, the right tools {gotta love Mrs. Meyer’s cleaners} , a little sunshine and a… Read More
Marzipan {Recipe & Welcome! Printable}
I’m all about packaging. It isn’t usually evident by the way I look most days – especially after being brutalized by Jillian Michaels for 20 minutes – but the desire is there. Buried somewhere beneath sweat, old yoga pants, flushed cheeks and Amazon-woman hair. Personal presentation aside, I’m drawn to details, to beauty, to color, and I have this undeniable… Read More
The Naughty Cookies {viewer discretion advised}
The cookies you are about to see are not intended for your grandma’s consumption. Nor are they intended for your 5 year old’s lunch box. Any resemblance to actual curves or derrières or bosoms, living or dead, is by no way coincidental. These sugar-infused representations of actual body parts were crafted “purely” for the purpose of bridal shower enjoyment. Or… Read More
All in a Week’s Whirl
It’s been delicious madness around here lately. Between fun and food and friends and farting children and family {please notice the pause between children and family} and…fesign fork…I haven’t had a moment to sit down and tell you all about it in mind-numbing detail, as I am accustomed to doing. {Clearly there’s no way to get ‘design work’ to start… Read More
Paisley & Sugar
Oh yes…there’s more! While I realize I don’t write an actual foodie blog, there is just no denying that I’ve been bitten by the baking bug lately. I just can’t seem to get enough of making sugar pretty and colorful. So I’m dragging you along with me for the ride {good thing photos are calorie free, eh?”} Next sugar cookie… Read More

At The Well, Guest Post {Teach Them}
When we pick up gorgeous, deep red leaves from the ground during fall, or catch the intricacies of the perfect snowflake on a black-sweatered arm in the chill of winter, it is here that we cultivate an awe for our Creator in their tender hearts. In chalk Bible stories sketched out on the driveway, alongside scribbled hop scotch squares. Or… Read More
