It’s not really the most practical home decor when you have small children in the house, but I love stained glass. Admiring the beautiful stained glass windows was always my favorite part of going to church as a child.

Wall decals are one of my favorite ways to add interest to a room. I love how they can cover an awkwardly shaped space with the appearance of a hand painted mural. Wall decals are also removable, which makes them great for renters or people who just like to redecorate on a regular basis.

Honestly, the whole childbirth experience creeped me out. I was in pain and terrified. There was lots of screaming, swearing, and icky bodily fluids. The healthy baby at the end was a nice plus, but I really don’t care to think about the experience any more than I have to. It’s been eight years and [...]
