This post brought to you by TIKI Brand®. All opinions are 100% mine. So ever since I moved into my loft I have tried to figure out how to keep it modern/urban looking while still being an enjoyable space. I love sitting outside and have a great balcony (it's wide, too). It's really an extension of the loft itself. I'm out there so much that I Continue Reading

This post brought to you by World Market. All opinions are 100% mine. As I've gotten older, I've started to realize how much I am like my dad. Which is funny, because when I was a teenager, there was NO way I was ever going to be like my parents. Then I got some level of maturity (notice I said some) and there are some qualities about my dad Continue Reading

This post brought to you by Social Power. All opinions are 100% mine. Animal rescue is an issue that is near and dear to my heart.

Unfortunately, at the time I had both my Continue Reading

This post brought to you by Moen, Incorporated. All opinions are 100% mine. ReI am not a confident DIYer. That doesn't mean I don't want to be, though. I want to be able to do my own home repairs and replace things like my parents . . . they are amazing! They can build anything. I think it comes from being hippie farmers in the 1970s (that's a Continue Reading

I have a confession - I come from a crazy mother. I mean that in the kindest way . . . you know, the "crazy in a good way" kind of mom. You might even have one yourself. My mom did raise five children, which is no easy feat, and could drive anyone nuts. I think I inherited the wackiness, which has resulted in my living a completely non-traditional Continue Reading
