A Photo Trading Party & How to Host One

Posted by | Home Decor, Photo Prints, Photography, Tips, Uncategorized, Washi Tape | No Comments

Last week, the lovely Aprille Balsom (aka. @apebalsom) had her gals @heatherwiles, @deanng and @suckiebb over for a photo trading party over candy and ciders.

Nowadays, we so rarely take the time to print the photos we capture of our memories, let alone the time to relive them.  Studies have shown that looking at photos of your friends can actually boost happiness by raising your oxytocin levels.

Instead of letting your favorite moments get lost on your camera roll, why not gather the people who helped make them and host a photo exchange? Read More

DIY Dad Gift: the most personal nightstand

Posted by | DIY, Kids, Photo Prints, Uncategorized | No Comments

With Father’s Day just around the corner, our Pinterest feed is loaded with DIY dad gifts.  Instead of resorting to the usual socks and latest barbecuing accessory, we decided to spend an afternoon sifting through in hopes of finding that perfect unique gift for Dad.

Let’s face it, dads aren’t usually the most design-savvy folks (nor do they care to be).  Inspired by a tutorial we saw for a leather valet tray, we thought we’d grab the kids and give Dad’s nightstand a little personalized makeover.  It’s the first thing he sees when he wakes up and the last before falling asleep, so why not make those moments extra special?

Read on for the 3 elements that make up this sharp and budget friendly DIY Dad gift…

Below, Anna gives us the lowdown on how she juggles memory-making with the little one, work and play.  Read on!
