This post is sponsored by Walmart I am very excited to be working on a new little project. A girls shared bedroom. Kids bedrooms are my favorite to style and design for. I love showing that they can be well styled and organized too, they do not have to be cluttered with toys or look cheap with cheap furniture. And the main reason I love designing kids spaces is because a child's bedroom can really effect their mood, attitude and energy. It is their safe space, or it should be their safe space. A messy bedroom can have a negative impact on kids, I have seen it. That is why I am very ... Read More

Girls Bedroom Changes and Twin Beds and Bunkbed Options
While we were in Utah for the summer all I heard from Ella was "can I have my own bedroom?" I mean, I am sure we talked about other things. But what really stuck out was her asking me that question. Every. Day. I want my own bedroom. I would tell her our house doesn't have a spot for you to have your own bedroom and reminded her how much she loves sharing a room with Lola. Also she sleeps so much better having her sister in the room with her. She would stop. Then start again about the bedroom. Or she would ask if we could "decorate it". Like it isn't decorated already? I ... Read More
Finn’s Big Boy Room and Goodnight Routine
This post is sponsored by Disney Book Group We moved Finn out of his crib! Have to admit it was hard to do. I kept putting it off. I mean, he has been crawling out of his crib since he was 9 months old. Never once fell out, just muscled his way out and escaped. After a couple of hard nights of putting him back in the crib maybe 15 times, he finally stayed. So it really wasn't going to be an issue putting him into his big boy bed. Just sad for me to leave the official "baby" stage. But, he was ready and we wanted to give him more space in his room. He has done awesome sleeping in his ... Read More
Our Free Little Library
Kevin built me a Little Free Library! I have been saying for sometime now that I want to build a Little Free Library to put in front of our house to share books with the community. If you haven't heard of Little Free Libraries before it is a neighborhood book exchange where anyone is encouraged to take a book or leave a book! The first Little Free Library was built in 2009 and now there are over 75,000 Little Free Libraries out there in the world! Anyone can build a Little Free Library (more on that at the end) or you can buy one already made or a kit. There is even a Facebook group for Little ... Read More
Pumpkin Smoothie and Pumpkin Spice Granola
Smoothies are the best. When I am in a hurry or I am craving dessert for breakfast I opt for a smoothie instead. I think about 5 years ago I made a pumpkin smoothie and loved it then forgot about it. Decided to test it out again, nothing like ringing in September with a little pumpkin recipe. I actually use pumpkin all year round. Also tested this recipe to see if Finn (my two year old) would like it, he is a smoothie monster. Results were successful! Even added a Pumpkin Spice Granola to the top. Yummy to snack on it's own too! Sharing this pumpkin recipe with Ella Claire Inspired for her ... Read More
Friday Favorites starts with Flea Market Magazine
I picked up Better Homes and Garden Magazine the other day. It was a special edition Flea Market issue. You know when you pick up a magazine at the grocery store and you can pretty much soak in enough to be satisfied. Not this time. I had to buy it. Glad I did because I found a couple new Favorite Instagram Accounts to follow! I thought I would share them with you for my Friday Favorites and a couple others that I loved this week. To me this is a testament that looking at what others create gets your juices flowing and excited about YOUR space. Not comparing what you have to others. #1- ... Read More
Favorite Home Purchases- Basically my Wedding Registry
Do you ever stop and appreciate little things that you have? I did the other day. I was opening the door to our front hall closet and I thought I am SO happy we changed out all our door knobs. It was a purchase that maybe wasn't the most-fun to make, but it saves us so much frustration. The doorknob used to fall off every other day and then we would have to go and find a tool to get it back on and even be able to open the door. I should have done it a long time ago. It got me thinking what else did I put-off buying but now am so happy we did! I asked Kevin what he thought and shared his idea ... Read More
Bee Keeping- Must Read before getting BEES!
My parents have had a beehive for about 3 years now. This past month when we were visiting Utah we got to watch them harvest the honey! They ended up getting about 40 lbs of honey this year! After watching the process I realized why raw natural honey is so expensive. It is A LOT of work to harvest the honey, let alone keep the bees happy and producing all year! It was such a neat experience for my kids to see and myself. I received a lot of questions as I was sharing videos of the process on Instagram. So I asked my parents all of your most common questions on Bee Keeping. I learned a lot ... Read More
Friday Favorites Starts with Nordstrom Picks and Nursery Update
Summer has been a whirlwind for us! As I am sure it has been for you. We are still in Utah. Kevin came out to visit us for the weekend and it was so great to reconnect! We stayed in Park City with the kids at the Woldorf Astoria. Our friends came up one night and got to swim and enjoy the s'mores they offer to all the guests around the fire. My friends son said "they offer PUBLIC s'mores here every night!" We joked that "Public s'mores" is the answer to world peace. Really tho if you haven't been to Utah before I highly recommend it and staying in Park City is a treat. The girls and I rode the ... Read More
