Have you ever rushed out of your house in a hurry, skipping your morning coffee at home and telling yourself you’ll pick some up somewhere en route at a drive thru? Have you ever seen those morning hour drive thru lines? Yeah, that’s not the way to be on time. There is a better way […]
Last year we visited the emergency room three times. We have two little boys who are extremely active, and while we are used to tumbles and booboos, we rather be safe than sorry and still rush to our local ER anytime something looks like it could leave a scar. Luckily, we have medical insurance through […]
Great tips, I just got health insurance and I’m so excited. It’s so important.
My youngest son is turning three and is no longer a baby, so of course it’s time for him to have a big boy’s room. We loved his Thomas The Train Toddler bed and train themed nursery, but he’s seriously outgrown it, and so we recently realized it was time for a bedroom makeover from […]
It’s so exciting and sad when the little ones get too big for their rooms.
I love that rustic feel. Seems like your son is going to have an amazing room!
I love the colors of the furniture! And those vintage type of artifacts!
I can’t wait to see what you create! I have a 7 year old who is ready for a big boy room make over. Actually, my 5-year old daughter is almost ready, too. So many choices.
Hubs would want that deer lamp for our living room!
It was so hard to admit my little boy was growing up! The transformation to a big boy is so much fun though. I can’t wait to see how your room transforms for your little one.
I love that bicycle clock, and I agree with your choice of furniture.
I love the vintage tone of the decor. That bedroom set is also beautiful! 🙂
We thought we weren’t going to get another bedroom set for our daughter when we transitioned her from her crib to a bed either… LOL – ends up she went from her twin bed to a Queen sized bed 😉 When she was 10. I can’t wait to see what you picked for Little Man though – I love seeing themed rooms for kids – its all about the imagination and comfort for them so they feel like their room is their happy place 🙂
Aww, it’s fun but hard when they move away from stuffed animals and little beds!
My son is 12 and we updated his room when he was 9 almost 10. I guess next year we will make it even older, once he is a teen. Sigh. I can’t wait to see what you do with his room!
I can’t wait to see the big reveal! 🙂
I love this, I need to update my sons room. I’m going to check them out!
Now you’ve got me all excited about your room makeover. I can not WAIT to see what you did!
I hope you’ll enjoy decorating your little one’s room. That is waiting for us this spring, as my boy also is three and we have to decorate his room accordingly. No more teddy bears :). Good luck, I’ll follow your progress 🙂
We never really did too much decoration for my daughter’s room but I wish we had. There’s so much cute furniture and decor these days!
There are! It is such a fun process, picking out just the right pieces.
What a lucky young man you have! I love the vintage feel you’ve chosen. It feels timeless. I’ve always loved vintage globes. They are such a fun, educational piece that are an open invitation to dream …
It’s such a bitter sweet thing when you have to switch out the furniture cause they grow up. They grow up so fast.
I can’t wait to see the big boy bedroom makeover! I love R&F, they’re quality is better than all the other furniture stores we’ve purchased from. I spy honest diapers!! We use those too 🙂
This is a sponsored post written by me on behalf of Hunt’s® tomatoes and Alexia® Foods. All opinions are 100% mine. Valentine’s Day is next week, and we already know we are going to be celebrating our Valentine’s Day indoors! We started this tradition several years after we were married, when we realized a cozy […]
Valentine’s Day is fast approaching, and it put me in the mood to come up with some romance inspired recipes for couples to enjoy together for meaningful holidays, or a date night in. Whether you are celebrating Valentine’s Day at home this year with your honey, or have an anniversary or birthday coming up, certain […]
That looks delicious! I also love the color of the Le Creuset – it has a vintage tone to it that I love.
Now that is a romantic meal, I need to cook this for someone!
The fig balsamic sounds just delightful. Our wedding anniversary is very close to Valentine’s Day, so we typically don’t do much. Having a romantic dinner date would be a wonderful treat for us both.
Garlic is an aphrodisiac? Wow, cool! This sounds delicious and I love the blue cocotte!
This would be such a perfect date night meal. Tasty and light.
I’m going to try this for my hubby soon. Thanks.
Oh, my! I haven’t seen the Le Creuset Flower Cocotte before! I have to know, is it new? I am going to have to see if they make it in Caribbean Blue (my color to collect). the Fig Balsamic sounds yummy and would be a big hit in this house. Thanks for sharing!
I didn’t realize figs were an aphrodisiac! This looks like a perfect date night dinner.
That’s one romantic looking meal! Makes me want to prepare it for my adorable hubby!
I think I saw it in another color (a beautiful buttery yellow), so from time to time it’s available in different colors…I collect Caribbean Blue Le Creuset too!
What “sweet” idea 🙂 We really like Bonne Maman but haven’t tried the fig preserves yet.
This would go over so big with my boyfriend. He is MAD about figs!
Oh my gosh I am for sure going to make this! Thank you
Oh I can just imagine with some candlelight on the dining table, a little wine and some soft music playing that this would be the perfect Valentine’s dinner for two. The only thing missing is dessert! (Now I need to hunt through your recipes for something Vanilla flavored, because I think that’s another aphrodisiac!)
I want that Le Creuset Flower Cocotte! And I love everything about this recipe/meal and think it would make the perfect V-Day dinner for my husband and I. Yum!
Yes, I’m totally craving that vinaigrette too. I just can’t wait to give that a taste!
I’ve been craving vinaigrette a lot lately and this looks so good to where I’ll definitely be giving it a try!
Looks like the perfect dinner for two for Valentine’s Day! So delish!
That looks delicious, but my idea of a date night at home includes getting food and bringing it home LOL!
Isn’t it so cute? I need one of those for myself!
WOW – that looks so amazing!
I made this last week and it came out amazing. I can’t wait to change it up a little bit.
Ooh, lemon butter sounds so good right about now. I’m always up for new ways of making chicken!
Yes, I love that idea of a romantic dinner!
I absolutely adore fig and this dressing sounds amazing! As someone who eats a salad almost every day, I can not wait to make this.
It is impossible for me to spend a lot of money on coffeehouse coffee any more. I’ve been making my own coffee at home, even fancy ones, for years now and the money that I save still takes my breath away when I end up going out to meet a friend at a coffee house. The other day I spent almost $4 on one small coffee drink!
I love International Delight, it’s so good in ice coffee!
Lines at those shops can be crazy long! I agree that it’s much better to get your drinks and snacks at home!
It’s good to know that these are fat and sugar free. I’ll definitely be picking up some of these.
Oh fat free and sugar free? I wonder if I can have it?? I’m on a special diet right now.
I agree… no matter how badly I need coffee, I can’t wait for those long lines. I prefer to keep my creamers stocked and ready to go at home. I have to try that Caramel Marshmallow! Sounds Yummy!
I have a well stocked cabinet and fridge with my coffees and creamers. I drink coffee all day long. 🙂
It’s the perfect way to change up your coffee flavor on a whim. Cute idea!
The Caramel Machiattio is in our fridge as we speak! Favorite part of my coffee!
Great idea, It’s such a great addition to any cup of coffee.
What a cool idea! I love the International Delight creamers, but I don’t have my coffee maker with the timer anymore, as I’ve been trying to cut back on caffeine. I’ve been using a coffee press to make herbal teas, but this post makes me want my coffee maker back! 🙂
I may have to check it out for sure, especially since it’s fat free and sugar free.
This sounds delicious, caramel marshmallow? Yum!
Coffee is always part of my morning routine, and definitely can’t be missed. I like the drive thru station idea to ensure the mornings run a little more smoothly.
The temps have been so warm here… and set to hit the 70’s this week. I would love to put these in my iced coffee in the afternoons. Such a great way to save a buck and have it made to order – at home! 🙂
It’s my daughter’s birthday next week, and we are having a morning party. We will be having a coffee bar for sure!
There is nothing I like better than a cup of coffee in the morning, I wouldn’t survive without it. Itnwould be nice to have it cooked as soon as I wake up. Thanks for the tips.
I hear you! I couldn’t start my day without my coffee. I’d just go back to bed and stay there until someone brought me coffee. LOL!
I love International Delight and it’s great to know they have so many options now a days especially fat free.
