Happy Happy Joy Joy! Does anyone remember that line above from Ren and Stimpy?!?!? The random memories that just came flooding through my mind based on that sentence alone have me giggling uncontrollably right now. I know it’s silly, but I’ll take anything that gets me out of my head momentarily and giggling! It’s just …
#MondayMotivation // 2018 // Happy New Year
I had hoped to get this post up on Monday and to include it in my #MondayMotivation series to start the year off with a great motivated BANG! But alas, it did not happen, and now that it’s Wednesday, I’m clearly judging myself for it and hoping that it’s not going to determine how this …
Sunday House Crush // Liberace’s Mountain Home
I stumbled upon this listing and found my jaw dropping at each consecutive click to the next photo, because I’ve never seen anything like this house up here (in Lake Arrowhead). It just sort of seems out of place among all the very cabin style mountain homes -though it is trying to keep a mountain …
Happy Happy Merry Merry Christmas To You!
Merry Christmas Lovecats! Even though this year has been one of the most challenging and difficult times in my entire life, I feel so blessed every day to get snuggles from these two Bobes and to get to wake up and do what I love, and that’s because of ALL OF YOU! I’m so grateful …
DIY Hair Accessories // Celestial Stars & Moons Headband Crown
I’ve been reading Seventeen Magazine since before I can remember, obviously well before I was seventeen and probably well after. When they reached out a few months ago asking about featuring a few of my hair accessory DIYs in their Prom issue, I was giddy! (scroll to the bottom to see the feature!) They were …

Gift Idea // DIY Faux Wood Coasters – Ready-Made & Free!
I was at Dogwood the other night working and as I was rummaging through an old cupboard looking for who knows what, these little wood “coasters” fell out onto the floor in front of me. I mean, at first I honestly THOUGHT they were coasters… but then I realized they were FLOOR SAMPLES we picked …
Sunday House Crush // Open Floor Plan & Windows!
I am slightly OBSESSED with this mountain house. I LOVE the layout and open floor plan and I love most of the upgrades done to it, which is rare. Oftentimes I’d rather just find a really cool place that hasn’t been touched, but this place is move-in ready. I would make a few small changes, …

#MondayMotivation // Be Relentless
When I was in the haze of what I now know to be the end days of my marriage, I found myself in a dreamworld of sorts. I was dreaming up all the possibilities that my life could become rather than focusing on all the things my life was not. By dreaming for more however, …
Sunday House Crush // French Chateau Estate on the Lake
This house is incredible and the photos do NOT do it justice! It’s in the Palisades, just minutes from my house and I pass it when I take the walk along the lake instead of the lanes… and every time I stop at it because the location and view of the lake from this point …
Dogwood Tavern Renovation / Inspiration / Rustic Modern
Last year around this time, my partners and I acquired the building that is in the process of becoming Dogwood Tavern. While we had planned on doing a sort of quickie fix-it to open early 2017, it turned into a full-blown renovation. Much of the structure has remained the same, but the entire place has …
