laundry room remodel
May 28, 2019 By 7 Comments
This particular room and remodel has been a looong time coming! Our laundry room was the one room that had not been touched since we moved in 10 years ago-not even to add shelves or anything! There were more pressing projects to be done first, like the backyard and that took a long time too since we did most of it ourselves. I had this laundry room … [Read more...]
pantry makeover

The KonMari method has been sweeping social media and the world at large, and swept me along with it! I am a regular purger of things-I like to call it "editing" my house-so I'm used to the process, but after watching the Netflix show it gave me a renewed energy to pare down and streamline so we can live our best lives! Or, at least make getting … [Read more...]

DIY cookie stencil hack
January 13, 2019 By 1 Comment
I do not profess myself to be anything of a cookie expert, so please take this tutorial with a grain of salt. (or powdered sugar, if you will) I do, however, like to save money when I can! I love a good deal, and this hack was waaay cheaper than purchasing an airbrush machine and all the accoutrements it would need. Even if I do make cookies at … [Read more...]

I've been cleaning out old drafted posts, and found this adorable set of photos from an upcycle I did years ago for Charlotte! I can't remember what pattern I used for the base, but I just had to share the pics because she's SOOO little and adorable. I loved how the shirt turned out too!

We just wrapped Ava's 6th birthday party and it was so cute and fun! She chose a panda theme and I love how simple and fun it was! Black and white is a fun graphic punch and I added some pink in because Ava loves pink! Also I had these flowers that my friends Aimee and Erinn made for a girls camp banquet last year and I took home because I couldn't … [Read more...]

sadie’s harry potter party
October 22, 2018 By 15 Comments
Earlier this year, Sadie read the first Harry Potter book. Then promptly sped through the rest of the series-and then started them over again once she finished! I am so proud lol but seriously parenting win right there, since I read the series as a teen and devoured them as well. (like most of the world) So, it was a pretty clear winner for her … [Read more...]
