Marie Kondo Monday- Entry Closet Makeover
For this week's edition of Marie Kondo Monday we are going to tackle our entry closet! While I do think we made our little entry closet functional for us, I didn't do it the BEST way. The best way does not mean getting a full closet makeover, I mean a custom closet would be nice. But really not the point. From my experience, to have a a highly organized closet, you need to follow the Marie Kondo Method. I did not do this the first time we organized our closet. Let me show you the Entry Closet BEFORE- In the above before photo I did start to take out some coats ... Read More
How I Cleared Up My Face Naturally- My Routine
A lot of you have asked recently what products I use on my face. It kind-of cracks me up, because I am the most BASIC girl with face products. Honestly. So if you are reading this expecting some fancy creams and potions, wrong blog. I am the same with my make-up routine, basic. I love mascara, good eyebrows, a glowing face, blush and thats about it. I don't wear powder or foundation. I just have always been worried I would break out, or makeup would slip off the side of my face and I would look ridiculous. So here I am writing a blog post. But I must-have been inspired. Because about ... Read More
Easy Cupcakes and How to Get Fluffy Frosting- Valentines
My sister is one of the greatest humans. Honestly. She has a servants heart. Kevin has been out of town in Abu Dhabi for two weeks, so I flew my sister and nephew out for a couple days to keep us company and help ME survive! She also does all of our hair so it's a huge win when she comes out. Brittany makes dinner, loves on the kids and spends time with me. We watched A Star Is Born (bought it on Fandango) both of us loved it even though we wish it ended differently. Between all those things she also made cupcakes with my girls and Finn. She makes cupcakes every time she comes. We ask the kids ... Read More
Three Ingredient Red Velvet Cookies- Valentines
We were on a baking kick while my sister was in town! We made the easiest cookie recipe. I love recipe's like this because my 8 and 11 year old can totally make them ALL on their own. We just have to keep the ingredients on hand when they are feeling like they want to bake. These cookies freeze really well too (after you bake them). So we make a bunch and freeze them, so they can grab them if they need to take a treat to someone or to a party. These Red Velvet Cookies remind me of the Three Ingredient Pumpkin Cookies you all LOVE so much. So I think you are going to love these- especially at ... Read More
Marie Kondo Monday- Bathroom Update!
As you know I have been doing Marie Kondo Monday's here and this week we are covering our bathroom! I had a Kon Marie Consultant (I talked about HERE). Come over to my home and help me tackle our bathroom closet. I tell you what, I learned how important the process of following Marie Kondo's method is! Believe it or not I have organized my bathroom before. I organized it right after I read her book. But I did not follow her steps exactly. I have heard people talk about how they don't like Marie Kondo's method because there are "too many rules" or it seems unrealistic. First of ... Read More
Why we CAN’T Quit Essential Oils and How We Use Them Daily!
I started Essential Oils as a hope that they would help my daughter with her nervousness at night. We were desperate for a change, Kevin and I were out of ideas. She really was struggling to relax enough and being able to calm herself to go to bed. It was hard on her and our entire family. I wished she was a tiny baby and I could rock her to sleep like I once did. Our 10 year old was harder to get to bed than our 2 year old. And she was not always like that. It's typical that as we get older all the things we have to do and look forward to are hard to shut-off (for some of us). And the ... Read More

Weekend Entry Makeover with Painted Cement Tile
When asked, I always recommend to decorate the rooms in your home you spend the most time first. And I personally like to always try to decorate the entry first as well. Often that is the only space that guests see. And not to mention, it greets YOU everyday, so why not make it a welcoming place! We did a weekend entry makeover to show you that it does not have to take a lot of money or time to totally transform your entry into a welcoming and organized space. Painting your front door, hanging some hooks and a place for shoes. We also painted the tile to look like painted cement (first time). ... Read More
Bang For Your Buck- Waterlogue App and Under Cabinet Lights!
I have two Bang for your Buck Ideas in the Kitchen! These are both things that will add a lot to your home for not a lot of money at all. I am a believer that the magic is in the details. Not just in our homes but in life. It is the small things that count and add up to big things. One of my favorite church talks is titled "A matter of a few degrees". The talk is given by a church leader, who is also a pilot. He says that steering the plan a matter of a few degrees in the wrong direction will get you to an entirely different place in the world! Not just a town over. That goes with ... Read More
