I recently returned from a celebratory trip to Paris, France with my mom, sister and sister-in-law to celebrate my sister, Sarah’s, 40th birthday. To say it was a memorable trip would be an understatement! It isn’t often the girls get to travel together sans kids and especially sans husbands! It was really special for us to get some one-on-one girl time in The City of Light.
We knew we wanted an apartment vs. a hotel this trip for the convenience of having common areas like a kitchen and living room to drink our coffee together in the mornings and to stock the kitchen with goodies from the local market for down time between activities. We love to emerge ourselves in the city we are visiting to get a true feel of what it would be like to actually live there and, in my opinion, only an apartment can truly make you feel like you are living like a Parisian.
I have followed Paris Perfect on Instagram for sometime for their inspiring images of the city and perfectly styled apartments so I knew just where to start for our apartment search. Paris Perfect has over three dozen apartments in the City of Lights covering every neighborhood, size and price point so there is literally something for everyone.

One of the most popular questions I get is “What paint color is that?”. So, I thought it would be helpful to save all our paint colors for you in one easy to access place. A huge thank you to Jennifer Barron Interiors who helped me finalize all our paint colors when I was 9 months pregnant with Millie and all the exterior whites were making my head spin! I don’t even think I sampled Millie’s pink or the white Alabaster we used in most of the house, I just knew I could trust Jennifer’s recommendations and, of course, they turned out perfect!

I am so thrilled to share our home’s transformation and our classic holiday charm and meaningful family traditions with Southern Living magazine! It is a huge honor that the team at SL chose our home to share in this heirloom issue. Southern Living is a special magazine to me personally because it is THE magazine my mom and grandmother subscribed to and read religiously month after month, year after year.

When we moved into our new home back in the spring of 2020, I had a newborn baby and two kids being homeschooled due to Covid lockdowns. Needless to say, it was overwhelming and I was anxious to get organized and settled into our new home. I hired a professional organizer, Vision & Hammer, and she helped me get the kitchen and pantry unpacked and labeled. I was obsessed with her label maker! I loved how you could pick your favorite fonts and specific sizes for each individual container to match the space perfectly. Since then, I have always wanted a Cricut of my own!
It has been more than a year now since I first learned about the Cricut and I finally purchased one! I have several new projects around the house now that Millie has outgrown all her babies items and I am working on a more organized system to save the kid’s school work. I feel like a giddy little kid every time I make a pretty label with our new Cricut! I always did get so excited for new school supplies!
I love our local Walmart for all my crafting and home organizing needs! The Cricut would make such a unique and thoughtful gift for even the hardest person to shop for. Be sure to check out Walmart’s curated selection of the best home gift ideas for a special present for everyone on your list! Don’t wait this year to start shopping, I am trying to get everyone on my list checked off so I don’t let the the stress of shipping and supply chain issues ruin our holiday joy.
