This post is sponsored by Wilton. All opinions are my own. Two years ago, I started a tradition of hosting a gingerbread decorating party for Owen and some of his closest friends. This year, we decided to change things up a bit and have a gingerbread castle decorating party. And I was honored when Wilton, a brand I’ve loved since… View Post
It’s Christmas tree day! That’s right, today I’m sharing our main Christmas tree. This year I decided to tweak it a little from last year but still stick with a red and silver Christmas tree.

Last year I decorated the boys’ playroom for Christmas, and I loved it so much, I did it again. But I made quite a few changes this year’s holiday playroom. Will the playroom stay nice and neat like it is in the following photos? Nope, I’m sure of that. But at least I’ll have the photographic evidence that it looked… View Post

So I put together this post to show exactly how I decorate a tree like this one with ribbon, ornaments, and picks. I also recorded myself decorating a section of the tree and created… View Post

Today I’ve rounded up some of my favorite peppermint products mixed in with other pepperminty items I’ve spotted. 1. peppermint candle I… View Post
A few weeks ago, I shared my Michaels Dream Tree Challenge tree on my Instagram. And today I wanted to dive into all the details of the red, green, and white peppermint Christmas tree I created. Now, I have to tell you, as I worked on this tree, I created an alter ego for the woman who would have a… View Post
For the past two years, I’ve displayed my sweet treats Christmas tree on the white console table in our dining area. Every year, I find more sugary ornaments to add to the tree. It’s kind of become a treasure hunt to see what I can find. This year’s tree has quite a few new ornaments. If you’re stopping by on… View Post
This is a sponsored conversation written by me on behalf of Purdy. The opinions and text are all mine. When planning my design for our pressure treated pine deck, I knew I wanted the base to match our house so the deck would flow with house instead of looking like an addition onto the house. The way I was able… View Post
Today I’m sharing how to make a red hydrangea wreath with three supplies in under 15 minutes. This wreath doesn’t even necessarily require glue. Am I blowing your mind yet? I made the wreath last year for our front door but failed to share how I made it. Probably because I was exhausted. I scored all the red hydrangea stems… View Post
This year when I asked Owen what he wanted to be or Halloween, he said a firefighter. I gently guided him away from that because he’s been a firefighter the past two Halloweens. He stated that he wanted to wear a vehicle of some sort, like the fire truck he wore the past two years. I came across a yellow… View Post
When I invested in my Halloween skeleton, Maude, last year, I could tell that she’s not the type of skeleton to be bare bones. Haha, get it? So, I decided to craft her a floral headband. You know, to show off her personality a little more. Annnd for the bright colors to catch the eyes of people passing by. Yes… View Post
Is it me or is fall flying by? And because I feel the fall decorating window is rather small before Halloween pushes in, I try to have my fall front porch decor transfer into the Halloween and then Thanksgiving. More bang for my buck, if you will. I surprised myself and went with an all orange color scheme– orange pumpkins… View Post
Today I’m making my case for why you should invest in succulents. Because unlike your typical summer flowers and greenery, succulents easily transition from summer to fall. And you know what that means? Less money spent, less time shopping, less waste, and less time digging in dirt. Exhibit A: Here’s three of my succulent planters in June. They’re vibrant shades… View Post
First, thanks so much for all your sweet comments and messages about the deck and pergola makeover reveal last week. For the reveal, I wanted the focus to be on the deck and pergola and to not let the furnishings take away from the paint and stain. But today I’m sharing how the deck looks with all of our stuff… View Post
Holy. Smokes. The deck and pergola makeover project we thought would take a week or two, but ended up being over a month is finally complete! If you’ve missed me on Instagram Stories lately, blame the deck and pergola makeover. Before I share what it looks like now, let’s go back to last year. This is the “deck” that came… View Post
