One of our goals this year was to take advantage of the kiddos’ school breaks and enjoy that time more intentionally. Previously, we would look at those breaks as simply rest days and just let everyone veg out…but that never ends up being enjoyable or remotely close to quality time together. So, when the Mardi…
Thrifted Sofa Table Re-Do
I am currently drowning in projects left undone but I finally have one that is completed and I can share! I’m ignoring the garage full of furniture collecting dust and the half done other projects staring me in the face…because I’m going to celebrate the wins! 😉 Many moons ago, I scored this solid sofa…
Celebrate 2023
Happy New Year! I am really excited about this new year! I’m not daring to say 2023 will be “our” year but…we are in enough transitions and positions to settle into a nice groove. So I’m cautiously optimistic! 😉 While I’m not a big resolution person, I am in a major “let’s set some smart…
Estate Sales, Etsy, Private Shopping List…OH MY!
This past spring I started a new hobby that has quickly become an OBSESSION…and that’s estate sales! I’m a hoarder collector by nature so the thrill of treasure hunting quickly became addictive for me. Once I downloaded the estatesales.net app on my phone, it was over. I now hit at least one a week! Everyone…
Closet Update & Makeover
We have had a bit of musical bedrooms happening at our house! Our kids are at the age where they really need their own space and privacy. However, what started as a goal to give our kids their own bathrooms…became our son switching bedrooms with the guest room…which resulted in a complete overhaul of his…
Louisiana State Park – Lake Bruin
Nothing makes my nerd heart beat faster than a trip to a state park. They are definitely hidden gems in most states and I simply adore exploring them with my family…even when they aren’t so sure! Their indifference often matches my exuberance! However, I feel like it’s a right of passage to be drug about…
Girls Trip to Hot Springs
My besties and I just returned from our annual girls trip, this time to Hot Springs, Arkansas. Our goal each year is to find a quiet little place that we can relax, enjoy each other’s company, eat our weight in cheese, and find tiny adventures along the way. This cute little town delivered! And, while…
(Another) Feature Wall Update
I am slowly moving our cluttered gallery walls to something a little more simple. I hate dusting the super busy walls and I’ve been more drawn lately to simplifying our décor…while not sacrificing a fun pop! I started with the little wall between our bedroom and the living room and then moved to our back…
Our Orange Beach Adventure
Our first and much needed summer vacation of 2022 was a hop, skip, and jump over to Orange Beach, Alabama for a few days soaking in the sun and waves! To be completely honest, I’m not much of a beach gal but my family LOVES it. I don’t hate it…but I don’t love getting into…
Vegetarian Mexican Pizza Copycat Recipe
We have been vegetarian for roughly 13 years. However, there are a few things I can still taste when I think about them. And one of those is a Taco Bell Mexican Pizza. In high school and college, I essentially lived off of these things. Absolutely delicious. I’ve tried several copycat recipes without success and…
