This floral map painted pumpkin is easy to make, and so much more colorful and fun than your average jack-o-lantern. I love Autumn, but I don’t love orange. It’s a dilemma I face every year when I want to decorate for Fall and I’m left with neutrals if I don’t want orange and browns. (Nuthin’ wrong with orange and browns. They just don’t quite fit my home decor.) I’ve stocked up on several white, cream, and tan colored pumpkins and assorted Fall decor over the years, which I love. But this year I thought it was time to try something different. I love color, and I always want more of… Keep Reading

Meal Planning Made Easy with Free Printable
I’ve decided this summer should be the summer of family organization. First Up: Meal Planning I usually keep track of meals, grocery lists, and weekly reminders on the giant chalkboard in my breakfast nook, but since it’s a little difficult to share a whole chalkboard for you to use, I decided to create a one-page printable meal planner.

This Cleft Rock Palette makes unlikely friends of orange, blue and green, balanced with a neutral tan. It all started from a small hike, and grew into some big thoughts. Recently we’ve been doing a lot of walking and hiking in the foothills of the Sandia Mountains. If you’re not from around here, the Sandia Mountains are part of the southern tip of the Rocky Mountains. Which means they’re very rocky. My kids love to climb on top of all the boulders, and the dog likes to think he can keep up with them. (We usually end up carrying him most of the way home.) The last time we were… Keep Reading
