More about Ellen

Hi there! I'm Ellen and I'm passionate about making homes into beautiful places to share hospitality, create memories, and build community. Here you'll find me slowly transforming our little 1980's fixer-upper into a home that embraces a rustic farmhouse aesthetic (on a tight budget!). Annnd, if I'm not badgering my sweet hubby to help me with shiplap, you can probably find me baking a treat or reading as fast as I can. Read Moreโ€ฆ

Instagram post 2190308388911382620_3970186361 Shopping for Christmas gifts? I blogged this list of the best baby board books that can help you find just the right gifts for the expecting parents or tiny babies in your life. Reading aloud is such a gift to our kids, it's worth investing our time and resources. And bonus, books are easy to find secondhand, so it's not hard to start a great collection. I'd love to hear some of your favorite board books too! โค๏ธ

Instagram post 2161863777339754781_3970186361 New handknit baby bonnet to tackle these cold days. Pattern adapted from @borisandstasha_design โค๏ธ I've never been a huge TV-watcher, just not my thing... But pregnancy + now taking care of a little? Oh that changed things! Now I really look forward to the days when there is time to crash in front of a show at the end of the day. And knitting makes the perfect project to work on while watching. ๐Ÿ‘Œ What about you? TV, yea or nay?
Instagram post 2156180198756649214_3970186361 I love me some happy mail. ๐Ÿ˜ I ordered these sweet little bows from Sydney @pineandhoneyhandmade and they are ๐Ÿ‘Œ๐Ÿ‘Œ๐Ÿ‘Œ. If you have a little girly, I highly recommend this shop! #notsponsored
Instagram post 2151816118566492792_3970186361 Halloween is just a few weeks away and with it comes the inevitable problem of what to do with all that leftover candy. I've got a quick & easy recipe for you on the blog to make Leftover Candy Bar Cookies...chewy melt-in-your-mouth goodness that can be customized with any chocolate-based candy bar you happen to have hanging around. ๐Ÿ๐Ÿ‚๐Ÿ
Instagram post 2150977847133300151_3970186361 We kicked off the morning with a trip to the library and now this mama is hardcore ignoring my to-do list while I dive into my stack of books. I mean, I can get that stuff done when the baby is awake, right? ๐Ÿ˜… #naptimehustle #ornot
Instagram post 2128642215857964498_3970186361 Just a little light reading ๐Ÿ‘Œ
Instagram post 2121242880358755738_3970186361 On the blog: I'm sharing all the details of our neutral nursery. The space we planned before we knew if we were having a boy or a girl. We've since added some girly touches, which I will share eventually, but I love this space for a starting point. A neutral room is a great choice for a budget-friendly option, multiple siblings in a room, or when you're waiting to find out if you're having a boy or a girl! Link in profile! โค๏ธ
Instagram post 2120619215808352545_3970186361 I shared a new series on my stories today. What I'm Reading Lately. Something that bothers me about Instagram is how fruitless time on this app can sometimes be. BUT. I follow lots of really wonderful accounts that post so much more than pretty pictures and I want to be part of that. For me, that means a lot of different things, but for starters I'll be sharing what I'm reading in the hopes that it can be a resource to others as well.ย โค๏ธ๐Ÿ“š When Rachaelย @fromfaye posted about reading the Anne of Green series postpartum, I was eager to pick it back up too. So I did. A nasty cold helped me power through the last few books, ha. (Our house looked great at the end of that if you can imagine. ๐Ÿ‘)
Also, Lorilee fromย @thebooksellersdaughter has posted a lot about Anne recently and I have loved reading her thoughts and seeing the beautiful covers on some of her editions. So basically, I've been thinking about Anne a lot lately!

Visit my stories for more about Anne and I'd love it if you share with me something you have enjoyed reading lately! I'm always up for a new book.ย โค๏ธ
Instagram post 2119973835760275629_3970186361 A sunshiny day. Tidying, snacking on an oatmeal chocolate chip cookie, and enjoying the quiet peace of a tiny munchkin down for a nap. What is your Tuesday bringing you?
