Hi all! I'm so excited to get back to swapping after having to take a break due to personal health issues. #chronicillnesswarrior and proud spoonie.

We moved last fall and I've been obsessing over finding unique art and decorating inspiration to make our house a home.

I'm a working wife and mom to a wild 3 year living not too far from Annapolis. Some of my favorite activities are vintage hunting, exploring new restaurants, and a good Bravo binge. In my free time you'll find me baking or curled up with a good book.

Our little family travels as much as we can and you'll often find me with a camera in my hand. I love documenting moments, big and small.

My favorite colors are blue, purple, and silver. I love peonies and roses, especially white ones. I'm a sucker for botanical watercolor illustrations. I celebrate all of the major holidays and love decorating our house from Easter to Halloween to Christmas.

I've been involved in swaps for almost 9 years!

Books: My favorite books are fashion books, cookbooks, and bibliographies/memoirs. My favorite memoir is "My Life in France" by Julia Child. She was so amazingly passionate about what she did.

Music: I love almost all kinds of music. My favorite is rock, pop, and indie. Some of my favorite bands/artists include: Nickelback, Peter Cincotti, Sara Bareilles, Taylor Swift, Meghan Trainor, Linkin Park, Guns N Roses, Andy Grammer, Imagine Dragons, and OneRepublic. I also have a soft spot for 90s/2000s boy bands.

The only types I'm not a fan of are rap and heavy metal.

Movies/TV: My favorite things to watch are dramas and comedies. Some of my favorite movies are: Pitch Perfect, Julie/Julia Project, Gone in 60 Seconds, Forgetting Sarah Marshall, Coyote Ugly, Sex and the City, The Devil Wears Prada, and Breakfast at Tiffany's.

I do not like horror movies.

My favorite TV shows are: Revenge, Nashville, Scandal, The Tudors, Reign, State of Affairs, Mad Men, Once Upon a Time, The Newsroom, House of Cards, and Game of Thrones. We're currently watching The Sandman on Netflix and while it's a bit out of my comfort zone, has been creepy cool.

On any given weekend you can probably find me wandering the book store or working on a DIY. My crafts of choice are: - Jewelry-making - Crocheting - Cricut Crafts - Baking - Photography
