    I’m willing to bet your mom likes flowers. I’m also pretty confident she would love it if you made a bouquet just for her. In this simple arrangement, I used tulips, roses, snapdragons and filler. All of these were purchased at my local grocery store. Easy peasy. Below, you’ll find my first video tutorial on Missalaneyus.com,…

    In my books, Cinco de Mayo is a great excuse to eat Mexican food, which truthfully, I never need. While we probably won’t be hitting a local bar to celebrate this year, hosting a brunch is right up our alley. This “build your own breakfast tacos” menu comes together in around an hour and has a…

    Mother’s Day is right around the corner, and it is one of the few times I have very little trouble coming up with gift ideas. (It may have to do with the fact that my mom, like me, always has a list of things she’d like.) If your mother is not so forthcoming, I’ve compiled…

    When I was a little girl, my mother and I made May Day baskets every year. I thought this was something everyone did, but I later found out it might not be that common, so here’s a quick run down. Basically, you roll paper into cones and fashion a little paper handle to create a…

    On Easter, Ellie hunted eggs in our backyard. Because I had my camera, she got hers out too. You’ll see hers also doubles as a thermometer. A few weeks ago, we spent a lazy weekend at the farm visiting Keegan’s family. One evening, the light was the prettiest thing on the planet. This photo captures…

    I first fell in love with Convivial Production about a year ago at one my favorite, local shops – Coveted Home. Since then, I’ve picked up the trivets and candle holders for our house and purchased the coffee mugs and a small hexagonal plate as gifts. Right now, I’ve got my eye on the fruit bowl.…

    I love having fresh flowers on our doorstep and patio, but find it hard to set aside the time to pull it together. Over the years, I’ve developed a few tips for doing it with minimal effort. First, find a plant that is roughly the same diameter as the pot you’d like to put it in.…

    This Easter, we’re having a casual brunch at the house, and even though the menu will be simple, I wanted the decor to feel special. So, I picked up a few new things, but mostly reworked items I already had. I swear white plates are the best investment you can make for your home. Period.…

    We took Ellie for her first haircut a few weeks ago. First, she was excited. Then, she was afraid. But, in the end, she loved it. We have started visiting the park again since it is warming up outside. Sometimes, I get to swing. It is my favorite still, even as an adult. There is…

    Are you familiar with Happy Habitat? They are a local KC company that makes throws, pillows and iPad covers in the coolest patterns on the planet. Really. I did my research. Warm, knitted throws  and pillows have never looked this modern. Draped on a couch or folded at the end of a bed, they can…
