Friends, I think I’m getting there. I feel like I can almost hold my head above water now. The new routine of waking up early, getting the kids dressed and fed, commuting to work and then coming home after a super busy day is finally starting to feel normal. As one person commented to me this week it’s really just about getting use to a new schedule. Of course, we’ve been aided by a small village. Grandparents, friends and even strangers have all lent a hand in the past month and made the transition easier. Next week my plan is to try and serve more than just soup for dinner!
Somewhere in this mix I managed to shoot a moodboard for HGTV. I was aiming for bright and bold florals but somehow ended up with a moodier, romantic palette. I blame it on April showers. I don’t know what it is like where you live but here it has been nothing but grey.
Have any of you made a new start lately? How are you working through the transition?
As we head off into this St. Patrick’s Day weekend I thought I would leave you with a moodboard I just did for HGTV. Emerald green as you know is the Pantone colour of the year. A bold choice but one I personally love.
Head over to HGTV to read more about this moodboard and how you could integrate a little green into your home. I’ll be back here on Monday with a truly original Hello! Neighbor tour.
And if you haven’t already head over to this post to win an original 8 x 10 painting of your favourite piece of clothing by Sarah Lazarovic.
Share the love! If you’re like me and have small children than you probably spent the past week writing Valentine’s day cards and making treats for tomorrow’s class. My sweet four year old refused to put his name on any of the cards I handmade so the effort was all mine. I hope his classmate’s like them! For treats, I decided to go a little sweet and a little wholesome – chocolate dipped strawberries. Actually I have to give all the credit to my husband who bought all the ingredients late last night and hand dipped each one himself. That’s true love.

While I live in a somewhat colourful interior I could happily exist in the purity of all white. White floors, white walls, white furniture, white kitchen, white bathroom – it all works for me. Of course, it would have to be tempered with some warm, rustic wood and lots of texture.
Something like this would be perfect. It reminds me of a forest walk on a snowy day – quiet, peaceful and enchanting. To see more of this moodboard and how you could translate this look into a kitchen check out my post over on HGTV.
Could you live in a winter white interior?
