Cool & Breezy...

I'm having one of those nights where I'm sitting in my chair and I'm too tired to get up to get myself to bed... hahaha.  I think moving is a lot like having a baby - you forget how hard it is!  Once the baby is here the rewards are huge, very much like moving into a new home. 

These images of Kara Rosenlund's home are cool, breezy, cozy and perfectly delightful;  that tub is definitely calling my name!

Finally Done!

I'm sorry I have been distant for the past week - we finally moved into our new home and I've been busy lifting and opening!  Once everything is in its place and there aren't piles of boxes blocking hallways - I'll be able to show you some images of our new home!

In the mean time - here are some images of a fun transitional home:

Best wishes everyone!

Exploring The Possibilities!

One of the reasons I'm so drawn to traveling, is coming across the unexpected!

I love stumbling across the perfect hidden store, or finding a new favorite place to eat with family and friends.  

Ask anyone... I'm obsessed with learning about people's talents and what intrigues them; to me this is what life is all about!  Lifting and enlightening one another with our gifts and talents!

Nicole Franzen is the amazing photographer who took these images, she is the perfect example of someone who shares their gifts to lift and make others happy!  Who would of thought something as simple as a photo could make one want to life a more fulfilled life!  She has done this for me!

Life's short... explore the possibilities!

The Perfect Retreat!

I would love to have a simple, charming, magical little getaway - a place where my kids can't get their hand on anything that needs to be plugged in!

Check out this charming little dwelling!  

Notice how the kids are reading and playing outside.  Kids need down time so that they can simply live in the moment!

It's that time of year... kids going back to school!

I think all of us have a little excitement to have some more down time, until that next big school project sneaks up!

sigh... the life of a mom... never a dull moment!

Neutral But Rustic...

Everywhere in Utah all you see when it comes to a rustic lodge or country cabin is the same old dark, heavy wood stains/decor.   

You can see why this charming cabin appealed to me... it's definitely a refreshing take on the perfect cozy retreat!

I hope you're all enjoying your week!

Pale and Interesting...

Who would have thought pale would be interesting... right?

I love combining re-claimed/natural wood stains with colors of white, pastels and neutral tones!  They provide for the perfect warm and welcoming home!
