Ever since I was a little girl, I've had a penchant for interior decorating and design. I can still remember being 10 years old and swiping my mother's Better Homes & Gardens magazines to soak up all of the decorating tips they had to offer that month. If there's one thing I've realized since those days, it's that I would classify my particular style as "traditional-unique".

What do you do to unwind and relax during those hectic and stressful times of the day? For me, my special "mom time" comes when Riley is taking a nap. Sometimes, while trying to catch up on a million odds and ends I need to do while she's resting, I just force myself to sit down and enjoy a hot, steaming cup of coffee.

I love dressing my precious daughter up in cute clothes galore! I try to really enjoy this time where she's still small enough to be my own personal doll to dress any way I wish.
