A New Room For Cruzie featuring Love vs Design

By Priscila Barros, Editor-in-Chief Leave a Comment

The before

We recently made the move to Texas – trading in our gorgeous farmhouse on 13 acres for a pretty boring builder grade home. I am determined to change the home to reflect more my style.

The kids’ rooms seem to be where I usually start when decorating (because they are the most fun), so it’s no secret I started in my youngest son’s room. He is pretty attached to his mama so I wanted to create a fun and safe space for him to feel like he could express who he is and what he currently likes.

We worked with Love vs Design to pick out the perfect peel and stick wallpaper (that is totally customizable). After going back and forth on what he wanted he settled on the “celestial constellations wallpaper.”

Installation was super easy and Love vs Design were very helpful with all my questions. We just installed the wallpaper on one wall and it only took us a few hours.

There are a few other things I would like to do in the room including adding hardwood floors, a more modern fan, curtains and a shelf unit for all the crazy things this boy likes to collect and display.

If you are interested in some peel in stick wallpaper- check out Love vs Design. They have so many designs to pick from that are customizable and it’s such an easy project that makes such a high impact on any space!

Next Room I am working on is my dinning room. Can’t wait to show you the completed space!

Innocence, love and absolute joy. Those years when our whole lives stretched before us, like a warm summer’s day full of promises, ice cream and laughter. This is what childhood should be about and what we hopefully carry into our adult lives, protecting it and allowing it to live on.

We love this little film, inspired by the lyrics of “Ain’t No Man” by the Avett Brothers and shot/edited by @elizabethalison_.

Featuring a rare collaboration of favorite brands – @piupiuchick @misha_and_puff @emileetida it captures childhood nostalgia in every frame. Starring all local kids (and mamas!), makeup free and full of love.

October is here and the joy that this month brings to my family is like no other. My kids (though older now), are planning every single detail of their costumes. I have found myself looking at halloween inspired dinners to make and as soon as October 1st hit, changed my vivid summer color decor to deep reds and oranges.

Above are just a few of my favorite “spooky”, halloween inspired finds. From the adorable sequin adorn cat mask to the razor pajamas that I wish came in my size!

What are a few things you have done now that fall is finally here?

Seeds

“Don’t judge each day by the harvest you reap but by the seeds that you plant.” Robert Louis Stevenson

Guilt visits me at the end of everyday. Did I spend enough time with my children? Was I too harsh? Did I listen to their stories and give ear to their daily troubles? This quote brings peace to my soul and hits me square in the face. It is only natural that we are our own biggest critics. However, for me, with guilt comes comfort. It is a beautiful thing to be able to steer one’s mind and give way to speaking truth to ourselves. I am their Mother for a reason and to be honest I was doing everything humanly possible in the day to take care of our home and them. I am planting seeds of that I am certain.

Team Effort

By Abby Kail, Contributor Leave a Comment

Mother of 7 means a lot of extra HELPING hands. So many times I get asked, “how do you have time for each of them?” We are a team you see, everyone is a moving part of this body and our time together strengthens us. These little ones find joy in teaching their siblings and I’m truly amazed at how much their minds can consume. Truly, when you’re hangry and your eyes meet the food that’s about to nourish you – CONSUME. It isn’t easy being a Mother but we find ourselves leading by example and the littles follow – the good, the bad and all the in between. We can and do shape our little ones and even they shape those younger. A beautiful design and for that I am thankful.

School’s Out

By Priscila Barros, Editor-in-Chief Leave a Comment

We love the transition between winter and the warmer spring days. It’s a great time to layer our favorite clothes and pull out some of our more “springy” items to add a refreshing pop to the more subtle winter colors. This editorial shot by Nina Ottolino is stunning and we can’t get over all the fun textures.
