Father’s Day

May 25, 2020
It feels like yesterday we became parents and my husband became the most amazing father to our two children. I have said it before and I say it again – my husband is amazing at a lot of things, but he is the most amazing at being a father. As Father’s Day is quickly approaching, I have been so wrapped up trying to find something special for my husband from myself and our children. I don’t know why, but I find shopping for men so time consuming and not as easy as it is for women or for children....

The little big things

May 20, 2020
Since being quarantined, I have accomplished many of my home improvement wishes. One of my biggest long time wishes was a small yet big upgrade to my kitchen and today I shared the transformation. I changed the hardware on my cabinets and even though I knew it was going to look nice once I changed them, I definitely had underestimated how much it was going to change the aesthetic. I guess kitchen hardware is just like accessories to an outfit. It can really make or break a look. I wish I had done it sooner because I am so...

Floral DIY

May 15, 2020
I am so excited to share this post because arranging florals is one of my favorite things to do. I have many faux floral arrangements around my home but I have never taken the time to record the steps I actually take to arrange one. I go into much better detail on my Instagram via video on my stories but I thought to share the photos for reference here for you guys as well. These faux florals are from Michaels and they are typically found during the Spring season. I have only been able to buy them in person...

Faux so pretty

May 8, 2020
Flowers are truly one of the most simplest pleasures to have around your home. I use to be at the flower market every week on the hunt for some blooms to prettify. Once I became a mother that routine quickly stopped and I started to look for faux florals to arrange in my home. I was looking for an aesthetic that was still natural and beautiful but low maintenance. Of course, nothing is as beautiful as fresh flowers but I did stumble upon some faux florals that are unbelievable pretty as I was shopping for my daughter’s 1st birthday...

Organize me pretty

April 19, 2020
Organizing my spice containers has always been one of the many things I have wanted to do since moving into my new home. Since being quarantined and cooking a lot more I have revamped not only my spice drawer but I am currently working on my walk-in pantry and updating of all of my kitchen utensils too. I don’t know about you guys but being “pretty” organized sure makes cooking that much more fun. I have linked some glass spice containers for you guys similar to mine. I actually have a couple of different styles of glass spice containers...

Serving pretty in vintage

April 18, 2020
Since I can remember, I have always been crazy for all things home. Particularly for tabletop decor and serveware. Curating vintage pieces has always been a fun hobby for me and it’s an area of interest I developed thanks to my mother. Growing up we would shop vintage districts and go in and out of stores just in admiration of so many pretty pieces from a variety of different eras. I started collecting essentially anything I love that is vintage and ended up even wearing vintage jewelry even on my wedding day. There is a beauty to one-of-a-kind pieces...

Homeschooling quarantine style

April 13, 2020
Hi everyone. So a quick blog post here to share how I’m staying organized homeschooling my littles. I use these clear organizers with all of their schools supplies in them. I like the clear option because my children can easily access what they need being see through. We do all of our homeschool assignments on our dining table and these portable organizers are so convenient to just pull out of my cabinet and bring all that we need to the table. I find that before I had these organizers I had to get up numerous times to just reach...

Pretty in the kitchen

April 11, 2020
Currently on day 27 in quarantine and running out of cabinets, drawers, and rooms to organize. I have to happily admit, it has been so nice to have the time to finally do so.  So what I did today was revamp my daughter’s decorative plates I had previously prettified on the wall above her play kitchen. These new English Garden inspired plates are the most gorgeous paper plates I have ever seen. The mix of colors are so well done and the details around the perimeter of them are so detailed and delicate. I have found that my daughter...

PERSIAN NEW YEAR 2020 | NOROOZ {1399}

March 11, 2020
Here we are again friends – Norooz {Persian New Year} is almost upon us! The weather is getting warm, the days are getting longer, the birds are singing and so many beautiful spring blooms are starting to blossom.  With less and less time to design my haftseen {traditional Persian New Year spread} ahead of time, I decided to use the same mirror I used last year as well as use one of my favorite lace overlays I have used year after year for both my haftseens as well the Persian ceremony spreads I have designed. As I started to set my haftseen...
