Two Favorite Plant Styling Hacks
I have two favorite plant styling hacks, I think they will be your favorite too! These two plant hacks will save you money and make your plants look really impressive! The first plant hack I did on my Audrey Ficus. I love her so much and she is looking really big and tall lately. I have had her just over two years and did this hack from day one. The second plant hack I did in my Connecticut house too, this plant hack filled a big empty corner and saved me about $100 from having to buy a really large plant. Ready for the plant hacks? Plant Styling Tip #1- Go from a Squatty Plant to a ... Read More
9 Year Old Boys Bedroom Makeover with Loft Bed
Nash is the twin brother to Navy that we recently gave a bedroom makeover to! It was his turn and he was bouncing off the walls excited! The kind of kid you just want to do things for because he is so thankful. He really wanted a loft bed. If he could describe a "dream bed" it would be a loft bed. His bedroom is on the smaller side, about 9'x11' (I enjoy decorating a small bedroom, a design challenge). Nash loves to draw and will spend hours in his room drawing, so another reason for the loft bed, a built-in desk under his bed. Ready to see the makeover?? Thanks to all our helpers that helped ...

Lola’s New Bedding- Seasonal Bedding Idea
When we moved into this house I used a mixture of bedding I had collected over the years to make Lola's bed. It turned out really cute, but now some of it isn't looking too great. I had the the duvet cover for 5 years, it was in our Connecticut primary bedroom. While I loved that duvet cover, it was falling apart. And after some research sheets, similar thickness to a duvet cover, are expected to last about two years before you might want to consider replacing them. While a duvet insert will last you 15 years (I have had one about that long and it still looks good!). Her thin Target quilt was ... Read More
One Pan Chicken Dinner- A Family Favorite Dinner
I LOVE a quick, healthy, one-pan dinner. If I have to pull out multiple pans and tools, it isn't the recipe for me. Are you like that? Kevin likes to get creative and do all the things I don't like to do, and often we enjoy his creations, maybe not the mess, bless! I remember listening to a podcast "Happier" that talked about how often households do the "you cook, I'll clean" but it often isn't fair if the person who cooks doesn't clean-up as they go. So we do, "you cook, you clean up" and take turns cooking. Works for us! And works better for our marriage to plan our meals, so we aren't doing ... Read More

Are you getting excited for Spring? We had a massive snow storm in Utah, but that isn't stopping me from welcoming that spring feeling inside! Some of you are already enjoying the warmth! It is almost March, which always gives me a pep in my step, like we are getting closer to warmer weather.
