I have dreamed of living in a tree house ever since I first read The Swiss Family Robinson as a small child. I was convinced that there couldn’t possibly be anything cooler than living way up in the tree tops, with exotic pets and an island all around.

I love giving my home a few special touches when holidays roll around.

If you’re in the mood to decorate with a little love, check out these fun DIY ideas below!
We are smoothie addicts in this house. I can put all sorts of healthy things into the blender (hello spinach!) and my three-year-old chugs it down, no hesitation.

With ideas formulating and swirling in my head, here are a few of the images which have lent a little inspiration to my fickle mind… pretty!
Happy New Year, everyone! I hope 2012 is off to a fantastic start in your neck of the woods. Before my iPhone days, I was a calendar junkie. I would scribble furiously all over these huge pages so that I wouldn’t forget a thing — assignments, ideas, appointments, birthdays, bills… everything!
