A couple years ago, I decorated Owen’s room for Christmas, and I loved it. Was it very extra? Of course. Did I care? Nope. Last year I did the minimal amount of decorating for Christmas because my 7 month pregnant belly rivaled Santa’s. But this year my uterus is not occupied with a child, therefore I’m feeling like a slightly… View Post

This year I added a little Christmas cheer to our kitchen- emphasis on ‘a little’ because it’s a working kitchen. In fact, while I was cleaning the kitchen for the photos in this post, I said to Brad, “This is why people don’t cook– they don’t want to dirty their kitchen… We should just get a caterer’s kitchen like the… View Post

Recently, I asked you guys what gift guides you wanted me to cover this year. Gift ideas for moms and mothers-in-law was one of the top most wanted. I get it because moms and mothers-in-law typically have everything they need so gift givers are left searching for any kind of idea. 1. Name or Initial Necklace Does the lovely lady… View Post
Since our house isn’t partially under construction this Christmas, I decided to decorate more spaces. One of those spaces is the playroom. So today I’m sharing the playroom Christmas tree Owen and I decorated.

King of Christmas graciously partnered with me on this gorgeous 7.5… View Post

Believe it or not, I didn’t spend very… View Post

This is a sponsored conversation written by me on behalf of Schlage. The opinions and text are all mine. The time has come to decorate the front porch for fall. As you can see in the photo below, things were looking pretty barren after I cleared all the summer plants off of the porch. But before I get into the… View Post
In case you aren’t keeping track, it’s 16 days until Halloween, 37 days until Thanksgiving, and 71 days until Christmas. And because I live that crazy blogger life, I’ll be breaking out the Christmas decor in a week or so. But before that happens, I figure I should show you our Halloween decorations. I’ve teamed up with some great bloggers… View Post

I’ve used Paul Mitchell Extra Body shampoo and conditioner for around 15 years. I typically wash my hair twice a week. What does your hair look… View Post
Guys, I finally came through– I’m sharing how to style curly hair. Well, my curly hair, specifically. This is probably the most requested topic I’ve had in my 8 years of blogging. It’s not that I’ve been trying to keep this a top secret operation. I just know I look awkward AF when I’m doing my hair (the things we… View Post
I came up with that very punny title of this post all by myself. That’s right, we’re talking about our loft today. And in case you don’t know where that is in our house, it’s the open space to the right when you get to the top of our stairs. It’s not a room that we needed, but it came… View Post
