It’s been a bit since I’ve posted anything here.

We have been keeping really busy both home wise and we had a BABY! She is the best little thing that’s ever happened to us.

This may sound silly but I really wanted to bring her home to a fresh bright home. Our walls had originally been painted dark tan and it was gloomy in my opinion. My wonderful mama, Teagan’s GG, came over and painted our entire house white. We got a new couch and a ton of cute baby items.

The space feels so fresh and happy!! Check out some sneak peeks below.

This adorable waffle blanket was sent to us by PoppyseedPlay I love the pop of color it gives this pace and Teagan loves how comfy it is!

You can find them here along with a ton of other cute colors!

Can’t wait to share more.

Maternity Style for Fall

September 26, 2019September 26, 2019Tagged clothing, maternity, maternityclothing, pregnancy, shop, style1 Comment

I recently gifted a super adorable sweater from Shop Pink Blush Maternity.

I’m not sure I’ll ever shop anywhere else. This site is really a one stop shop for both maternity and “regular” clothing. This top will certainly grow with me during pregnancy and still be apart of my wardrobe afterwards.

You can get this comfy piece here. I promise you’ll love it as much as I do!

Master Bath Remodel

Have you ever came home from work to your bathroom almost completely gutted? No, well I sure have. My fiance and I had been talking about remodeling since the bathroom was in desperate need (mold, grim, etc..). Needless to say, I was shocked but in the best way.

I have a pretty creative mind (not in the song writing or picture painting way) but in a way that makes me have a bunch of ideas stored in my head for remodels and home decor. So luckily, I already had an idea of what I wanted for this bathroom. What I originally wanted and what we ended up with are pretty close but not exact. That is what happens when you have expensive taste without the bank account to support it. Check out my original vision board below.

As you can see, I wasn’t too far off. That gorgeous green tile, ugh, it still makes my heart skip a beat. I had to remind myself that this isn’t our forever home so paying $30+ a sq ft was NOT worth it. I am so so so happy with how everything turned out, regardless! Pictures of the final product are below. Along with some before (more like during demo) pictures too!

I will link where we purchased everything below.

We got CHICKENS!!

For those of you who don’t already know…I want ALL of the farm animals. Goats, pigs, cows and a bunch of chickens. Starting off small with these two ladies and a chicken coop we (Michael) built.

After we finished putting it all together we had to move it. ALL the way around the house. This required a truck with a tommygate, 4 wheel drive and a prayer. For reals, the coop dint fit all the way on the tommygate so Michael walked behind the truck while I drove it around the house. Talk about a test on your relationship, it was stressful, but we did great and got it done with NO issues.

We plan on adding more chickens next month..we will have little ones ❤

Valentine’s Day is fast approaching. I’m not usually one to decorate for this Hallmark holiday but sometimes you just get a vision and you HAVE to run with it. In this case, my plan did not work out the way I had originally planned but, that’s okay…I’m real good at improvising.

Here’s a peak into what we’ve got going on in our little love shack.

Here’s the links for most everything!

Candle Holders are from TJ Maxx but you can find some similar ones here

Wooden BeadsI just strung them through some left over twine from Christmas.

6 Ways to Simplify Christmas

Is it too late to share Christmas decor….maybe? Nah. Here is some inspo for next year. I will link all the items below. Most of these get utilized other places around the house throughout the year. Also here are a few tips for Christmas 2019

6 Tips for Simplifying Christmas

If you’re like me you love decorating for the holidays. But, sometimes it can get overwhelming. Between work, kids and family visiting for the holidays, it can be hard to find time. Here are a few ways you can simplify decorating and enjoy time with your family.

Pick a Theme

It can be colors, reindeers or snowflakes. Picking a theme before you start decorating will prevent your house from looking like Christmas threw up in it. Create a Pinterest board for Christmas 2019 and only add inspiration that fits your theme.

Start Early

The sooner you start planning the less overwhelming decorating becomes. This doesn’t mean you have to put your tree up in July, just start thinking of where you want what this year.

Choose Focal Points

For most, this will be places like a mantel, dining room or stair banister! Start there and work your way out. Not every square inch of you house needs to be decorated. Go big in your main focal areas and keep it simple everywhere else.

Shop

This one is EASY and might be the most fun. Hobby Lobby is probably the best place for holiday décor but there are a ton of great online options as well. You never know what you’re going to find.

Be Faux

Okay, not really. BUT, using faux garland in your home. You can get a few years’ worth of use out of faux garland as long as it’s stored nicely. You can always change up what color bows or beading you add to it.

Get Cozy

Don’t forget to set your flannel, fleece and fuzzy pillows. What’s the point of all this decorating if you can’t cozy up on the couch with some hot chocolate and enjoy the masterpiece you’ve created?

Cheers to a simple yet magical Christmas season!
