Outdoor Furniture Sources and Deck Progress
Our deck is coming along!!! We can walk on it! And we could walk right off it….the sides aren't up yet! Hopefully this week. Yesterday it was well over 55 degrees. It was gorgeous. Finn was playing on our slide, and in the sand and even asked me for some water so his toys could "swim". Kevin and I were measuring for something exciting we are adding in our backyard, any guesses??!! And also measuring for our deck furniture. Wanted to show you the deck progress and what furniture we are adding. I searched through Target, Walmart, World Market to Serena & Lily and picked some of my favorite ... Read More
Amazon Favorites- Curtain Rod, Curtain Panels, Bed and more!
Wanted to share things I bought this past week from Amazon and they are already favorites!!! Who doesn't get excited when they find a winner on Amazon? We recently tried white curtain panels for the bedroom makeover we did for my friend Nikki.

White Boho Master Bedroom Makeover
We gifted this bedroom makeover for a sweet friend of mine, Nikki. I met her while waiting for our daughters, who were killing it in a hip hop class:). Nikki was instantly an example of a genuine, loving person. We got talking and I found out that her home had burned down about a year prior. They were all set to move in, and had moved in all of their furniture and possessions. Thankfully they decided not to sleep there, because their brand new home caught fire and burned down in the middle of the night. It was a traumatic experience, as you can imagine. They had to rebuild and do it all ... Read More

Why Go to Kona, Hawaii and What to Do Once You’re There- Printable!
I recently got to explore Kona, Hawaii, (the biggest Hawaiian Island), with my favorite travel buddy, Kevin. I had never been to the Big Island before. While Maui will always be my favorite, we couldn't help but fall in love with the black sand, wild horses, tropical foliage and people there!! After talking to my friend who just went to Kona a couple months ago and listening to our tour guide talk about Kona, we determined that the Kona water is one of the big reasons people come to Kona- deep water and different things to see in the water vs Maui. Also lava rock was everywhere on Kona, very ... Read More

A New Chapter in our Life and Bucket List- With Printable
At the start if 2019 I put something on my Bucket List or Vision Board that I knew would bless our family. It was a big thing. Something that could look scary or crazy to some. I was actually hesitant to share this. But my sweet mom encouraged me to share it and said all of you would want to know (Kevin helped me write this). Something that would literally change the way we live day to day. I wrote that I wanted Kevin to be able to chose if he would continue to work in Professional Soccer. Before I share what he chose, I want to share the back story. Kevin went to school to ... Read More
Favorite Movie House, and Dining Table Options
Well we decided that we REALLY are banquette people. With our remodel going on we could decide what type of people we are, banquette people or regular chair people. And we are 100% the people that want a sofa in your kitchen. Anyone watch the movie The Holiday just to see the homes? Even the kitchen in the LA home felt very cozy because they had fabric in the kitchen with a cozy settee. Not everyone can have a banquette in their kitchen but there are ways to make it extra cozy. Texture is everything!! And inspiration is everywhere. The Holiday Cottage House- Love the fireplace in the ... Read More
