I absolutely love the way watercolor text looks. In fact I wish that I could watercolor write everything in my day. My white board at school, my journal, my planner, my face. Well maybe not my face...maybe. I love watercolor so much that I've recently updated my header to a beautiful watercolor script! The best part is I am sure some of you love watercolor as much as me and I want to share with you how to do this using Photoshop Elements! The first thing you need to ... Read the Post
How to Create Watercolor Text in Photoshop Elements
Explore the Puget Sound: Vashon Island
My husband I were lucky enough to be able to get away a few weekends ago for a date weekend and we decided to break from the norm and headed up to Vashon Island for the weekend. I hadn't been there since I was a kid and my husband had never been, so we weren't sure what to expect, but we ended up loving it! There aren't any hotels on the island, which is only a short 3 miles from Seattle and Tacoma, so we hit up Airbnb to find a place to stay. I had never used airbnb before, and was a ... Read the Post
Baby’s First Year Stickers
I love babies, and now that I'm approaching my mid thirties it seems like no one I know is having babies anymore. Luckily, working in a school exposes me to a whole lot more people and a whole lot of those people are making babies. My friend Sam had a baby shower last spring and I wasn't sure what to get her, and then I realized that I could make her something. That something turned out to be amazing, and exactly what every new mom needs. Supplies Months 1 - 6 ... Read the Post
Eric Carle Inspired Watercolor Garden
I am the biggest fan of Eric Carle. I love the simplicity of his illustrations and the stories he tells are ones that even the youngest kids can follow! I decided to create a simple watercolor garden project to go along with one of his lesser known stories (at least in my family), The Tiny Seed. This is a great story about the journey of a seed. You can actually watch a reading of the story on YouTube! After reading the story I set my kids up with a sheet of heavy ... Read the Post
Back to School Spirit Shirt – Cricut Explore Air
This shop has been compensated by Collective Bias, Inc. and its advertiser. All opinions are mine alone. #FreeToBe #CollectiveBias Back to school is rapidly approaching, we have about a month before the school year starts and this year I am getting a jump on my back to school prep. Maybe it's because my kids don't have a school supply list this year, maybe it's because my classroom room has been under construction for the ENTIRE summer so I can't go in and work on it. Either way, it means my ... Read the Post
Living Room Update with Curtains from Minted
I shared the first part of my living makeover a few weeks ago and I've got the second step in the process up today. This was the easiest, fastest and most impressive change I've made so far! When my husband and I moved in together there were definitely some compromises that had to be made furniture and design wise. One of the battles I let him win early on was the curtains, and this was mostly because I didn't own any curtains. He had purchased these curtains when he ... Read the Post

Painted Rocks – creating community through art!
The craziest thing happened this summer where I live. A group of people started a rock painting movement. Now I know this doesn't sound like much, but by the end of the first month the Facebook group for this movement had over 10,000 members. My Facebook notifications have been have been overrun with pictures of people hiding, finding and painting rocks. I'm not normally a band wagon kind of girl, but painting rocks is fun, and something that I've been doing since ... Read the Post

This shop has been compensated by Collective Bias, Inc. and its advertiser. All opinions are mine alone. #CampbellSavings #CollectiveBias It's funny how life can go from zero to sixty in no time flat once the school year starts up. Finding time to do the simple things like laundry and dinner suddenly seems as daunting as climbing Mount Everest. Luckily over the past couple of years I have gotten a great system in place for getting healthy and delicious dinners on the table almost every night ... Read the Post

It's a fabulous experience for anyone in the creative blogging world and one of the reason's that April is my favorite month of the year! There were a lot of amazing sponsors there and one of the ones I ... Read the Post
Kid Friendly Hikes in Western Washington
One of the things I love the most about living in the pacific northwest is the abundance of beautiful places to explore, and nature to surround myself with. My husband and I have both worked very hard to expose our children to as many diverse settings as possible without having to travel to far. For those of you living in the pacific northwest or planning a visit here are a few of my family's favorite kid friendly destinations! Mt. St. Helens With over a dozen ... Read the Post
Floral {Cup} Cake Display
I have an insane love for all things girly and floral when it come to throwing a party. In real life my style is way more practical and monochromatic, but in party land, the bolder & brighter the better. This is why any excuse I get to throw a party is a good one! This post is part of my rustic floral party series, you can see all the posts here! If I've said it once, I've said it a hundred times, I'm not a baker. I don't love the tedious measurements, the ...
