Decorating 101: 10 tips for creating a gorgeous vignette
I always get asked for tips on styling and how to create pretty vignettes. SOOOOO I thought I would share a few simple styling tips that can help you get started on creating the home of your dreams.

Emmy had zero problems learning her times tables. I don’t even remember her asking for any help and I we RARELY practiced…

I have worn glasses since the 8th grade, so they are basically a part of me at this point. My glasses are the FIRST thing I put on in the morning and the LAST thing I take off at night. So if I am going to wear something EVERY day, I want variety, style, and of course a good deal. That is…
