25 Things from Disney
1. Well, we are having a blast. 2. Keep in mind, in between having a blast we're fighting and slinging kids over our shoulders and sweating and running over strangers' unsuspecting toes with our stroller. 3. It's a big stroller. 4. My kids are the cutest to me. 5....

Holiday Gift Guide with Uncommon Goods (yes, it’s time)
Well, hello there. And yes, from reading the title...I am here with a gift guide. I know what you're thinking...it seems too early. But you know what I know. It'll be the November in a week, thanksgiving in a few, and before you know it, you'll be trimming the tree...
New Finds from The Chapel Market & A Little Vacation
Okay, okay, last post on The Chapel Market already. It's really not about the market, but about this small little pile of goodies I brought home with me. I was pretty purposeful about the few purchases I made, and really there was just not much time to shop--I meant...
The Chapel Market
Hey there, lovely people! So I showed you our space at The Chapel Market, and after we were finished setting up, we breathed a sigh of relief. I was pretty proud of how quickly it came together and that we made it to Montgomery with no broken jars. We arrived on...
Our Chapel Market Displays
Well, The Chapel Market was a whirlwind! On Friday morning we loaded up my SUV, Matt's truck, Julie's car, and a 16 foot U-haul. We were absolutely drenched with sweat by the time we got to the chapel around lunchtime. In a few hours, we had the place looking like...
Miss Mustard Seed Milk Paint Contest Coming Soon!
No less than forty photos have been edited for the Chapel Market post, but I had to pop in today to tell you about something first... I have been raving about my new love for milk paint lately. I just can't help it...I feel like I've found a groove and I can't stop...
One Year
On nights like tonight I want to scream. My bones ache and my flesh is weak. There's book writing and market prep and homeschooling (or not enough of that), photo shoots to plan and execute, shop running, mama-doing's. Nights like this I really want to just cuddle in...
The Chapel Market, What I’m Bringing part 2
The guys at the shop have been busy this week, pricing, tagging, packing, and pulling items from the floor. We are almost ready for The Chapel Market, and that's a good thing because we load up in the morning. I wanted to share a few more of the items we're bringing...
Shop Talk: Rifle & Sugar Paper
Hello lovelies. My days from writing in bed are waning a bit--feeling better every day. Thanks so much for your sweet comments and motherly advice...a girl will take all she can get. Remember the pretty striped paper from Ava's framed dress? I had some time last...
Last Bit of Fall Decor & Newsletter news
I'm sharing the last little bit of fall decor in our home today. I like to keep things relatively simple...except sometimes, just sometimes, at Christmas I go a little crazy with the seasonal decor. A few fall leaves, a pumpkin, and some antlers were just enough to...
Lego Batman Party
How was your weekend, friends? I'm still resting some, from my weird chest injury, but Matt was busy working on projects for the book and our house. Since things have been a little nuts around here, I basically planned Grayson's birthday party one week out. I know,...
Simple Framed Dress Art
I have something weird to tell you. So this summer, I started having these weird chest pains (all chest pain is alarming, right?). I went to the doc, and after a whole bunch of tests, he determined I had this very long fancy word for...
Why I Homeschool (ramblings from a former skeptic)
This last year and a half so many monumental things have happened. We began homeschooling. We opened a retail store. We opened an online store. (P.S. we shipped 280 packages this month--thank you SOOO much for your support and general awesomeness.) We started writing...
Milk Paint Dresser Makeover
I have a new love. It's not chocolate, and it's not shoes, and it's not even throw pillows. It's Milk Paint. Marian's Milk Paint, to be exact. I always liked milk paint, but I had not used it enough to really love it. I wanted to carry her paint, because a. she's my...
A Paint Party & Chapel Market Prep
If you could see the back of our shop sometimes... It can be messy and nasty, or clean and tidy. But what it always is, is paint-filled. We could have a paint party at any moment of any day. And a Kraft paper party. Or a box party. Really, anytime. Just ask. We are...
Cottage Guest Bathroom Reveal
Well, I hope your weekend was fantastic. I got to celebrate the birth of my best friends' twins this weekend and really couldn't believe what a miracle it all was. My sweet friend, Jenny, I'm convinced you need to see more of around here. She's one of the good ones....
Simple Fall Tablescape & Product Shoots
It has been such a wonderful few days. Turning in the first half of the book felt great, and even though I should probably be doing lots of other things, I was just ready to play around in with some of our fall products (and decorate my home for my little man's...
Fall in the Shop & Meet Julie!
Good morning, friends! We are busy in the shop lately, and got all the Fall decor out a few weeks ago, but I wanted you to see some of our favorite displays, too. P.S. Don't hate me for all the iPhone pics. Sometimes they're the only way I can shoot the store for...
