New Air Fryer, Breakfast Egg Rolls and The Home Depot Sale
Sharing our new air fryer today, with an easy Egg Roll Breakfast recipe! Perfect Memorial Day Breakfast. Also sharing The Home Depot Memorial Day Sales, including air fryers! We had a big air fryer that we used a ton in Connecticut that somehow got lost (or left behind) in the move to Utah. We don't have a microwave so we use the air fryer to heat leftovers or when we want to cook something in a short amount of time. Also makes food taste crispy without using any oil. Personally, I think sweet potato fries taste so much better and are crispier when cooked in the air fryer! Thank you The ... Read More
Inside our Garage- Garage Gym, Garage Floors and More
We didn't have a garage for the 7 years we lived in Connecticut, so now that we have one it is a REAL treat. Our garage has three separate garage door, we turned one of the garage stalls into our garage gym. We initially wanted to do a stand-alone gym in the yard, but couldn't build anything due to the water easement (basically a big water pipe running in our yard). We park both our cars in the other two stalls. Besides cars, there really isn't much room for anything else. We walk through the garage multiple times a day so we wanted to make the floor nice. And, we LOVE how it all turned ... Read More

Inside Kids Closets with Eco-Friendly Closet System
Kevin and I went back and forth on what closet system we were going to do. First we thought we were going to have our finish carpenter put in a shelf and a simple rod for the kids closets.

We reached out and partnered with them on this blog post! All their products are built out of hardwood, no particle board!!! Which means no formaldehyde. They offer a wide range of custom sizes.

Teen Boy Bedroom- Gray Walls and Hat Wall
Yesterday we went back to my friend Laila's house to help makeover her other son, Simeon's teen bedroom. We just made over his brothers room, and couldn't just do one of the boys room! Simeon actually requested his room be painted the same Gray paint like his room in their old house. And his other request (to his parents for years, he jokes) was to not sleep on springs anymore!

Teen Boy Bedroom- Basketball Sports Vibe
Our friends, Casi and Andrew were hanging out at our house with their kids a couple weekends ago. Casi mentioned that she was going to makeover her oldest sons, Stockton, bedroom for his 15th birthday. I offered to help her! We think Stockton is such a good kid, always so polite and fun to hang out with, so we were looking forward to doing this for him.
