Barn Wood Height Chart DIY

 I saw a picture of a height chart similar to this quite some time ago and have been meaning to try and make one myself. We started one on the wall when we first moved in, and Everett thought it was SO cool to be measured! I thought something like this was a little more pretty than marks on the wall and also potable if we ever move.
This project was super easy and only took me about an hour and a half all together.
What you need:

• An old piece of wood(I got this for free from an old shed my brother torn down).
• Painters tape(the thick kind would work best, but I didn't have any on hand).
• White paint. Spray paint or canned paint, whatever you prefer(I used both).
• Number stencils.

First measure your board and mark off every 6 inches. You don't want to start inch one right at the bottom of the board(unless you're planning on nailing the bottom of it flesh against the floor). Next, tape off every other six inch space.

 Start spraying(or brushing) your paint on.

Once your painted sections aren't sticky anymore you can remove the tape and start painting your number stencils on.

Optional step: You can finish with a top coat if you want it to last a little longer. I also went over it later with a light sanding to give it a little older look.

And... Viola!

Over It

I have been out of commission the past few days The little and I caught a gnarly sickness and it wasn't fun at all. I'm still sick, but feel so much better and refreshed than the last two days. I got so behind on things though that we had a very busy day today, but hopefully I'll catch up in the next few days. It was totally worth getting behind to rest and get better fast though.
We're having a girls night tonight with some of my very favorite lovely ladies. So my weekend is going to kick off with a great start! -xo Liz

6 Outfit Tips

Today I wanted to share with you a few tips that I always keep in mind when putting together an outfit. I don't ALWAYS follow these tips, but definitely try to keep them in mind. These are just a few that I've always found helpful so if they don't work for you that's completely up to you. Enjoy!

1. In order to keep a little bit of proportion in your outfit, make sure to pair tight bottoms with a loose top or loose bottoms with a tighter top. You don't want to be wearing a baggy outfit, but you also don't want to wear a completely tight outfit. There are rare occasions that it works out, but for the most part it's good to remember proportions.

2. Add Color. You should usually mix it up in your outfit. You don't normally want all neutrals or all brights. adding a little bit of brights to your neutrals (or pastels) or neutrals to your brights always works out great.

3. You've probably heard before that you should always match your belt with your shoes. I usually try to follow by that, because I always feel like something's off or my outfit isn't right if I don't. It's usually a good thing to always keep in mind.

4. Dress it up. It's a good idea to dress up your outfits a little if they seem sorta plain. There are so many accessory ideas out there, your choices are pretty much unlimited.

5. Mix it up. Don't don't be too matchy all the time. You don't always have to follow the rules. Try to mix up some patterns, if you're brave enough. There's no reason we should always keep it plain a simple!

6. This is sorta cheesy, but I believe what completes a great outfit it a great smile. I need to be reminded of this so often!

B&A

So, I thought that I had a better before picture of this shirt, but it turns out I deleted it on accident. Before, this shirt was huge, like XL and it had no shape whatsoever, but I loved the color and print. After a few times trying it on and going back to the sewing machine it turned out pretty good, I think! xo -Liz

Horse Print

There's just something about horse print that makes me happy.

I've been hunting for little western, vintage, treasures for Everett's nursery ever since he was born. I think it's gotten me really into horses lately. This skirt is actually one that my sissy re-did. You can see the post about it here.

A few more of my favorites. 1, 2, 3, 4, 5

Style: mama/baby

I've noticed a lot of blogs lately sharing some of their favorite fall outfits. I'm loving a lot of them and decided to do one too, but instead of an outfit just for me, I'd like to incorporate something for baby too this fall. Don't you love fall colors? xo
