Hold on a hot minute. Has it really been 2.5 months since my last blog post? I'm afraid it's true. Pretty sure I promised you a kitchen update "coming soon" back in April, and here we are in June! What else can I say except, this is the lane of life I'm in right now. Raising 3 kids, working, wrapping up a hectic school year, and trying to … [Read more...]
Spring Kitchen
Sunshine and daffodils are so good for the soul, wouldn't you agree? I couldn't be happier that spring is finally here!! The days are finally getting longer, the temps are finally staying warmer and all around us things are waking back up to life! After what feels like an extra long winter, I am so looking forward to a new season … [Read more...]
Spring Has Sprung
Last week I finally decided to pull the plug on winter. A declaration of independence from an eternal cold and snowy season that has seemed to never end. All the winter decor - including the infamous hot cocoa bar that has stayed up now in my home for 4 straight months - finally came down. Everything was packed away until next season and the house … [Read more...]
Shiplap Bathroom Refresh
It's been a long time since we tackled a project around the house. And even longer since the last time I mentioned shiplap here on the blog. Six years ago to be exact, we dove head first into the shiplap craze when we DIY'd a main focal wall in our living room. We still love the look and for about a year now I've been wanting to carry it into some … [Read more...]
Fall Home Decor

You never quite know what kind of weather you're going to get. This season has seemed to fly by. Sigh. Fall is my favorite time and I really tried to make an effort … [Read more...]

Christmas is Coming! Holiday Home Tour
Wow, I can hardly believe how fast Christmas is already upon us! With the Thanksgiving holiday so late last month, it really did sneak up and here we are almost a week away from the big day. I pray that you are finding some time to stop and savor the season. This year it has definitely been a challenge with both me and my husband working in … [Read more...]
Musical Rooms
Do you remember playing the game musical chairs as a kid? You know, you'd put a whole bunch of chairs in a circle, then somebody would sing a song until....STOP! And you'd have to scramble like mad to find a spot before that last seat was taken. Often a fun game to play as a child, so I guess the adult version is what's been happening around my … [Read more...]
You Had Me at Pumpkin
October is when I officially allow myself to experience all things pumpkin. I sort of have an unwritten rule that I can't technically fully indulge until we get through the month of September, because I'm one of those people that need to segment out my holiday enjoyment. Halloween. Then Thanksgiving. Lastly, Christmas. Don't mess with … [Read more...]
