My Parents Converted Cargo Van to a Camper Van
My parents have been working really hard on converting a Cargo Van they bought in November into a Camper Van. They love to be outside and love to see new places.

Very proud of what he did and really excited to share it with you!! Thank you The Company Store for sponsoring this post Cargo Van Before- Camper Van After- Camper Van Bed and Bedding- ... Read More

What Every Guest Room Needs- Triplet Guest Room
We had 12 women sleepover this past weekend, it was so much fun. And one night we hosted 30 women for a party who were all mostly from out of town. Some of them stayed at an Airbnb, and it got us talking about things they were frustrated weren't in the guest rooms. Some of the items seem like an obvious must-have for anyone who has a guest space. Floor mirror anyone?? I have shared a post before on the top things guests really want, but thought it deserved a refresh! Bedding Sources- Mattress Cover- this is a must for guest beds! Breathable cotton with no added chemicals or ... Read More
New Outdoor Chairs and Walmart Rollbacks
We have this area in our yard that is visually a focal point by the pool, it really wasn't being used to it's full potential. You know the saying "build it and they will come"?! That is what we did. Added some plants, chairs and outdoors games. Now we use this area way more! And it looks so pretty! Thank you Walmart for sponsoring this post Walmart Roll-Backs Patio Heater- We have 3 of these in the backyard. They have been a lifesaver on colder evenings! And so nice to have when we host gatherings!3 Piece Chat Set- come with two cushioned chairs and a side table, ... Read More
Entry- Adding Character with Wood Trim and Wallpaper
My goal with our home is to make it as cozy as possible. Like an instant hug. Every corner as a fun surprise waiting, and it isn't Kevin jumping out to spook you (which he does). A home full of personality and character. Anyone else want that?? With the cozy goal in mind we decided to add wood box trim to a few walls in our entry. I knew after adding the trim, painting it, then adding wallpaper it would make our entry feel like a cozy room. This is a great way to make a brand new home have some character! Ready to see what we did? Entry Hall Before- Entry Hall After- ... Read More
Summer Berry Crisp
Have I told you how much I love a crisp? Peach crisp, apple crisp, berry crisp...I love them all! It really just depends on the time of year it is for the filling you want to use. Summer is when you're going to find the best berries, think fruit stands and Farmers Markets! What's also great is you can use frozen berries and love this dessert all year long. Ella helped me make this Berry Crisp, she agreed it was quick and so yummy! We had minimal clean up because we used a cast iron skillet. Sharing that recipe with you today…. ... Read More
Primary Bathroom Before and After- Utah Ranch Home
Finally sharing our primary bathroom!! While it has been 95% done since November, we had a couple of faucets that were backordered for a really long time, and they just arrived! The bathroom before was interesting. While I didn't hate the wallpaper, the orange carpet, especially by the toilet had to go. I think this bathroom made Kevin's first reaction to seeing the house a "no". But I could see the possibilities. Ready to see the before and after of our primary bathroom??? I linked all the sources at the end of the post, from tile, paint to decor! Primary Bathroom Before- Primary ... Read More
House Regrets- What I wish we would have done differently

That being said, I think sharing a few things that I wish we would have done differently when we remodeled this house might help some of you! Overall very happy and beyond grateful for our home and with how our remodel turned out. Just sharing a different view or way of doing something that could be better if you are in the decision making process. 1- Kitchen Regret- 2- Mini Fridge Regret- 3- Door Regret- 4- Finish Work Regret- 5- Ice Maker Regret- 6- Lights ...
