New Design & A Giveaway To Celebrate

Hello and welcome to the new For The Love Of! I’ve been working on the new site with my lovely and talented designer Sara Jensen for the last two weeks, and I couldn’t be happier with how it came out. When I reached out to Sara, looking for a new design, I had several major […]

Early Spring Salad

Artwork Updates Around The Home + Minted Giveaway

It seems that the majority of my decorating challenges and woes result from what to hang on the wall. After i shared with you all last week that our frames in the family room sat empty for a year before I made a move to add some prints, let me also admit that Hayden was […]
