I'm creeping up on that stage of life where I have bigger kiddos. I still have littles too, but the fact that I have bigger kids has changed my day-to-day life. I also work now, so things are busier than ever, but there was a time when things weren't so busy.

Embroidery is everywhere this year and I'm sure you've already seen it manifested in many ways this season. Several years back the Mexican style of embroidered dresses and blouses became popular again (loved them!) and the trend just hasn't gone away.

Lately I've noticed that there are certain habits and patterns I have that make me feel different ways. I wanted to share a few thoughts I've had on the subject in case you can identify with those feelings as well. Read on for five ways to feel happier and love everyday life more

This last month has been so busy with work and family that I haven't taken many professional photos for full blog posts. I'll have more of those to share soon, but today I have a big round up of outfits from Instagram.

Of all the cities we had on our list of possibilities as we planned our trip to Italy, Venice seemed like one we just couldn't pass up. It's one of those places that you have to visit if you get the chance, and I'm so glad we did. It did not disappoint!

As small business owners, our lives are always about work. But after our conference in Milan, I decided we needed a few days of fun. We of course continued to talk work throughout the rest of the trip, but because we were free and having fun, a lot of great ideas came to be.

We've been back for a few weeks now, and it's even been long enough for me to start wondering if it was all a dream. :) It wasn't. But it really was such a dreamy trip. When we booked our flights for Italy it felt surreal, but boarding our plane is when it started to really set in.

Meanwhile, Easter is right around the corner! If your childhood was anything like mine- one thing I always looked forward to about Easter was getting a new dress.

There are several constants in my closet, and one of those is definitely stripes. I wear stripes year-round, but for some reason spring seems to be a particularly "stripe-y" season.
