Wow, so much has happened since my last blog post - I am officially a mom! Leading up to this moment, I was extremely terrified and nervous of birth.

Alright ladies, I'm throwing it way way back to last June when my bridesmaids threw me an epic picnic bridal shower.

How to Put Up Wallpaper On Textured Wall
Wallpaper is such a great way to add an accent wall to any room. I love how it can quickly add colors and patterns, and best of all, you can do it yourself!
