How Long Have You Been Friends?

We met in 2008 when AnnMarie moved across the street from Anne.

We became fast friends and have had so much fun over the years raising our kids and sharing ideas with each other.

Our husbands are good friends too and the four of us get together often and play our favorite game…Sequence.

And our children are more like cousins than neighbors.

We consider ourselves very lucky!

Why Did You Start Blogging?

As our kids are growing up and heading off to college we decided it was the perfect time to try something new.

We’re both creative people.

Our friends and family ask us for advice and ideas about decor, recipes, and family.

So we thought it would be fun to share all that with you.

And what’s better than working with your friend?

Where Can I Find Items In Your Home?

We both love HomeGoods for great deals on home decor plus it’s super close to where we live.

And we also like to upcycle items we’ve had for years with paint. Paint can work wonders on old, dated pieces.

Recently we’ve been bitten by the “vintage bug,” and have started shopping more at local antique and consignment shops!

You can shop Anne’s home here.

Items in AnnMarie’s home can be found here.

What’s Your Favorite Way to Decorate Your Home?

We both LOVE gallery walls!

There’s nothing better than being surrounded by family photos and memories.

You can find AnnMarie’s gallery walls here, and here, oh and here too, wait and here and finally here!

Anne has several too, but only one blog post about her entryway gallery wall.

Told you it’s a favorite decorating idea!
