It is officially up for sale on Minted in the form of table runners, curtains, lamp shades, placemats, napkins, pillows, and of course, yards of fabric. The best news?

Read MoreCraft Street Design // But first, Chai
Pratima from Craft Street Design contacted me a couple of months ago about her fantastic new print line. She offered to send me a free print from her collection to check out the concept and quality of the design. Her company makes cleanly designed inspiration posters, based on design principles Pratima learned while working at Apple.
Of course, I immediately leaped at that opportunity! After hour(s) of browsing through her site and debating between which prints I loved the most, I settled on this one.
Read MoreThe Nursery is [almost] Finished!
The nursery is well on its way to completion! We're rounding out 32 weeks right now so we wanted to get everything in its place just in case Mia Kai decides to make her appearance early (which we're not hoping for, just preparing for!).

Thirty-One // My Husband + Humility
We celebrated JD's 31st birthday yesterday so I wanted to keep the celebration going on the blog!
If there is one word I could use to describe a characteristic I've seen more than any other this past year in my husband, it would be humility.
Read MoreJust the Two of Us // Our Last Trip Solo!
It's hard to believe that the next time we'll be traveling, we'll have a tiny little travel companion with us! JD and I were so excited to spend this last trip enjoying Hawaii together and hanging out on the days he didn't have to work. It's the end of an era and we wanted to celebrate the sweet season we've had as well as the exciting season that's about to happen.
To be honest, we spent a lot of time resting. Our time traveling is normally spent hiking and exploring but throughout this pregnancy, we've been keeping it pretty chill. From what we've been told, we won't get as many opportunities to rest in a couple of months. ;) Here are a few highlights from the trip.
Read More50 Day Art Challenge Featuring Each State // It's Complete!
The 50 Day Challenge is finally complete!! To those of you who kept with me the whole time - thank you! Your encouragement kept me going. And to those of you who found Jitney's because of the challenge, thanks for joining us! We're so excited about you!
Fifty days. Fifty states. Fifty art pieces. The challenge took a little longer than 50 days but I had so much fun! The challenge has certainly molded my skills but also pushed me to try new techniques. I hope I represented your state well! To get a closer look at the pieces, you can find them on our Instagram feed. We've also posted a few of them up in our Etsy shop for purchase.
Read MoreInspiration for Mia Kai's Nursery // Mood Board
We have made it to the third trimester!! I can't believe Mia Kai will be here in less than three months. Ahh!! We have a lot to do before she arrives, but we thought it'd be fun to share the inspiration for her nursery with y'all today. Lots of floral, delicate colors and soft accents... it's actually developing differently than I originally expected, but I think it will be perfect for her. :)
Read MoreA Year in Review // 2015
So I'm a few days late here but I've been inspired to share a few highlights from our year, thanks to all of the other fabulous bloggers out there (plus JD always kindly encourages it - haha)!
The year 2015 has been filled with growth. Growth in family, growth in creativity, growth in marriage, growth in experiences while traveling, growth in Christ. Between friends, new endeavors, babies and about six months of Aloha / Hawaii, how could we even ask for more?

A Sweet Farewell to the Corvette!
December 31st of 2015 was a bittersweet day for the Todd family. We finally sold our '86 Corvette. Those of you who know us also know the sweet place this ole' car holds in our hearts.
It's been in our family longer than I have. My dad bought it for my mom in 1986. Dad and I would cruise up and down our old long driveway and take it out for special date nights but for the most part, it sat in a barn for a few years.
