We had to have several trees removed from our yard after they were attacked by beetles. Sad day when a tree dies. But happy day when a new tree is planted. It was quite the process having dead trees removed, the stump ground down, root ball and soil prepared for a new tree. We did have professionals do all those steps, it was a really big job. The one perk of our tree dying was our new tree is slimmer, making room for a pair of chairs, the perfect spot to watch kids playing and chat with neighbors walking by. I love to create seating areas all through our yard as more places to sit and gather. ... Read More
Statement Serving Pieces in our Curio Cabinet and Biscoff Cookie Cake
It feels good to clear everything out of a cabinet, sideboard or anywhere that you want to restyle and start fresh! We have a glass curio cabinet in our dining room that is one of my favorite pieces to style, because it can hold a lot of items and I like that the backdrop is white so everything pops. When styling any area of my home I decorate with items that we actually use, so I try to buy the cutest version of an item. In an office I buy the flower handle scissors so they can double as decor. In dining rooms we use cloth napkins rather than paper, so those cloth napkins match our decor and ... Read More
Hanging Chairs- How to Hang a Hanging Chair
We currently have 6, yes SIX hanging chairs in our house! Granted, 5 of the hanging chairs are outside but, if you can't tell, I am a fan! Our first hanging chair we ever had in our home was a double hanging chair in our girls room. It felt like a dream to have one! They just seem so special and whimsical. I thought I would share how high we hang the chairs from the floor, how to attach a hanging chair to a ceiling and how far from the wall.

Crib to Toddler Big Girl Bed for Niece Evie
My niece, Evie was ready for a big girl bed! She is 3 years old and it was time to pass her crib to her new baby brother. We actually ended up swapping her bedroom with her new brother, Cooper. Made it easy to leave the crib where it was. Her grandma bought her a new bed and I put together a design plan and we gifted her a makeover! I think this room might be my favorite, but I might always say that after a makeover! I REALLY love the wallpaper we did for Evie. Thank you to The Company Store for sponsoring this post Big Girl Design Plan- Evie Baby Room Before- Evie Big Girl ... Read More
Our Trip to Italy- Rome, Cinque Terre, Venice and Verona
Ella was invited to play soccer with a team of girls from different clubs in Utah against professional U17 girls in Italy. It was a really neat experience for her and our entire family. We had never been to Italy, and honestly don't know when we would have made the trip if not for this scheduled event. We made the most of the trip and spent about two weeks in Italy. We went to Rome, Venice, Cinque Terre and Verona. After that experience we can't wait to go back and see more!! Sharing everywhere we went, stayed, and ate! Get ready for photo overload after all the information! First, I got ... Read More

I don't know about you, but I do most my entertaining in the warmer months, when everyone can enjoy outside and dessert is always s'mores!

Sweet Coconut Cereal Treat- Addictive!!
Growing up we camped for our summer vacations. I loved it, we have lots of cousins we played with and always lots of yummy food. My grandma would bring treats she'd made and a sweet coconut cereal treat was always one of my favorites. Well, I've changed up the ingredients to make it with ingredients we have on hand, like honey instead of Corn Syrup. It is still definitely a treat! In fact, we like this version even better! Sweetened with honey and coconut oil. ... Read More

Popular Candle Dupe Diffuser Blends
It's no secret that I love diffusing! But it hasn't always been that way. I used to think that candles helped me create a cozy space, Hygge. I love the feeling of HYGGE. Hygge is about an atmosphere or experience, rather than about things. It's a feeling of home, a feeling that we are safe and shielded from the world. As I really looked into what Hygee and my home/family meant to me, it was easy to throw candles out. I always sort of knew that they weren't great to be burning in the house, but I would allow myself the indulgence. I haven't lit a candle in my home for 6 years now and ... Read More
Hidden Garbage Storage and Air Conditioner Unit- Plus Small Shed
Last October we built a mini shed to hide our garbages and a privacy fence for our air conditioning units. One of you reminded me I never shared it! 9 months later, I am finally sharing how we strategically hid our garbages from our backyard and street view and also our air conditioning units from our pool views. I don't know about you, but there are some things I just don't want to see, if we can make it visually cohesive, then why not do it? And I can say 9 months later, we are happy with what we did!
