Happy February, friends! Yesterday, I had some fun with watercolors and made a few simple Valentine’s Day cards.  This DIY made me feel artistic (and you’re seeing the extent of my painting abilities) because I can paint words, crooked lines and hearts.  Yeah!  This would be a great DIY for kids or the artistically challenged, […]

My friend Wendy made these kale chips on Saturday, and I could not stop eating them.  They may or may not be the yummiest (and easiest to make) treat I’ve had in a while.  And I can’t get over how healthy they are!  Kale chips would make an excellent addition to your Super Bowl party […]

Today I’m over on Small Shop, a blog by the ever so talented Erika Brechtel (graphic designer extraordinaire), sharing my idea for a simple Valentine’s surprise for your loved one. Head on over and check it out! Thanks, friends! till tomorrow, Rebecca

Back in December, my friend (and fantastically talented photographer) Rebekah and I met in her home in northern Virginia for several inspiration-filled hours to style and shoot this […]

A few of us gathered yesterday for my sister Christina’s 29th birthday.  We planned a simple menu and decor and focused on being creative with and making much of the little things.   It is intimate and simple occasions like this that I treasure the most.  Friends helped with the menu and brought healthful dishes, […]
