The Big White Farmhouse

intentional living, little by little

{inspire me} Volume Two

ETSY SHOP.
In the market for a new pillow to add a little color to your space?  I am loving the pillows over at Paisley Sprouts.  This rainbow one is really fun and I love the stripes (and back!) of this one.  She also has a black and white version!  

ON MY TO-DO LIST.
Two weeks until my big flying adventure with my girl and I am starting to get anxious.  Okay, SUPER anxious.  Natalie’s pep talk couldn’t have come at a better time…I’m going to read it over and over again!

TUTORIAL.
These salt dough egg ornaments are an easy craft to do with the kids, but I think they would be darling for so many other things.  Can you picture them tied to cloth napkins on an Easter dinner table?  What about as a decorative accent attached to a present?  

MUST READ.
Best Practices of Blogging was a common sense, but needed post for me this week.  My favorite reminder: “You’re drawn to blogging because you have something to share. Don’t get caught up in looking or sounding like someone else’s blog—remember that your voice and your point of view are what make your blog unique and interesting.”

IN THE KITCHEN.
I found Becky via Instagram.  She is a Mamma to four and is passionate about health.  Her feed is so inspirational!  She just started a blog and I’m dying to make her latest recipe: Moist Pumpkin Protein Muffins.

FOR THE KIDDOS.
I like to give books as part of birthday gifts and Z Is for Moose (which I learned about from Design Mom) sounds like a great choice.  Anxious to read this one with my boys!

ETSY SHOP.
One of my goals this year is to sew a dress for my Little Miss.  After a little research, I think I’ll be purchasing my pattern from Little Lizard King.  She has great reviews!  I still haven’t decided, but my favorites are this, this and this. 

ON MY TO-DO LIST.
This post on cleaning up your Pinterest boards lit a fire under my behind.  I’m joining in the #cleanupyourpinterest revolution…you should too! 

TUTORIAL.
Have you ever seen a ticker tape quilt?  Amazing, right?  I love that it can use the tiniest scrap and create something that is one-of-a-kind.  But wow…I just don’t think I have the patience, though this tutorial for the same effect on canvas may convert me!

MUST READ.
Julie’s post called “The Itchy Sweater” was beautifully written and I know it will be so helpful for other mammas struggling in the same area.  Further proof that you should never judge when you’re out and about.  Be sure to check out her follow-up post for a resource list.

PHOTOGRAPHY.
I’m participating in a 365 Project with A Beautiful Mess.  Since 2013 will be the first year in our new home, I’d love to document the process of making it our own.  Not sure I can keep the pace, but I’m sure going to try!  You can follow along with me on my Instagram feed.   

BOOK.
I’ve heard good things about The Light Between Oceans: A Novel…have you read it?  I think it may be next on my list.
