Though it can be challenging to work from your home (think dog barking at the squirrels teasing him from the tree’s, to your .child wanting to show you their latest Minecraft creation on Xbox to husband wanting to know what’s for dinner – all while trying to work), truly, I am thankful that my job allows me to work from home.

Decorate with a DIY Butterfly Flutter
A few months ago I went in to my favorite Vietnamese Restaurant, The Coffee Factory, that is located on Brookhurst in Westminster. This restaurant is the real deal and is run by two sisters and their mother. The food is amazing, the coffee divine and the treats – well, let’s just say you really need to try a traditional chocolate crescant – the way it is really made in Europe and Vietnam! So tasty! Anyhow, I happended to look up while waiting for my soup and saw this: It was so unusual and really cool to look at. I absolutely love butterflies and read recently that they have…

Day 11 :: Get Your Home Decluttered in 28 Days: Master Bedroom

The Beauty of Pewter
This past week my mother, brother, husband and I flew to her home in Colorado and went through the entire house and basement to categorize things that she wanted to bring back to California with her and things she wanted to sell in an estate sale. We came across many wonderful heirlooms that her mother and grandmother had passed on to her. My mom knows I am a big fan of pewter (as was her mom) so she gave me this wonderful Pewter coffee and tea set that her mother used. I’m not sure what it is about pewter, but I have loved it since I can…
