We are ready to share our speedy outdoor painted patio makeover!! It was a QUICK project. I thought of the idea to paint the cement/patio area on a Saturday. We bought paint and started painting Monday and finished it that same day. It was actually very easy to paint (says the person who watched someone do it). Kevin actually painted the cement. I did draw it out and helped him chalk it off, then cheered him on while he painted. This mini outdoor furniture makeover was part of a commercial I was in for The Christmas Tree Shops. I went and filmed the commercial in February. The ... Read More

7 Simple Spring Decor Changes
It's almost time!! Like we are literally soooo close to Spring. I can smell it. I can feel it. I can hear those birdies. And it brings me so much joy! I have to admit, I kind-of get in a little funk this time of year. Do you get that way too?? We want to spend time outside and start bringing out the outdoor furniture. But we aren't sure if the next morning it will all be covered in snow! So rather than focusing too much outside (yet!). I thought I would share seven things I did this weekend to invite spring into our home! Easy things you can do too, without spending a lot of money. Seven ... 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
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

Family Room Makeover
My sister-in-law just moved into a new home about a month ago. She reached out to me asking what wallpaper I would choose for her family room and how to make her new house feel like a home. Because it can be hard to get a new house to feel like you and a place you like to be! I am sure a lot of you can relate. I offered to help her when we came in Utah for Christmas. I decided to partner with The Home Depot to help her and her family love their family room, the area they spend the most time. Little changes go a long way. And it was NOT bad before, just not cozy like she was hoping. But ... Read More

I have a really great living room makeover to share with you today! I loved how this idea came to me to do this and I will share how these projects come about. But first I want to point out that the inspiration for this living room makeover is to share the importance of choosing the right furniture for your home. Not just bringing pieces you like from an old home or even purchasing new items without a plan. It is so important to consider the flow of your home. The layout. The function. How you will use the room. In this case, a living room that is really the center of the home. It is also ... Read More
