This blog post has been requested a lot lately, what I eat in a day. After I shared pictures from Hawaii in our swimsuits you wanted to know not only what I eat but what two other women ate who were in a picture I shared! My mother-in-law is close t0 60 and her sister, Aunt Velda is 60. They both have amazing bodies. Yes, they have good genes, BUT they both work really hard and eat very smart and thoughtful. That is the key. Be thoughtful about what you eat. I know this has helped me. I have taken time to think about how I want to approach food. A big part of my WHY with food, I want to be an ...

13 Things Alexa Can Replace!
Your Alexa can replace about 13 things in your life. Really depending on how fancy you want to get it could replace about 50! It can even start your car for you with the right car (I am sure budget friendly). I thought I would share thirteen things we use Alexa for on a daily basis. You might not even realize that you can ditch that sound machine, your alarm clock, your timer, your bluetooth speaker and more! We shared some Instagram stories the other day of how we use our Alexa (my girls love the Alexa and use it the most). But I deleted my stories about half-way thru that day because I ... Read More
Marie Kondo Mondays- Kitchen Organizing Tips
I am starting a new blog series. Marie Kondo Monday's. Today we are talking about Kitchen Organizing Tips! I have shared her book before "The magic of Tidying up" (I listened to it on Hoopla for free). Well, she now has a new Netflix series, called Tidying Up with Marie Kondo. I personally loved it. She might be the cutest little human ever. So kind, polite, smart, pretty, thoughtful…I love her! My favorite part of the show- seeing how she greets each home, I cry every time. It is such an attitude of gratitude. An action of showing that- this home is enough and what I have ... Read More

40 Wallpaper Transformations that will Blow you Away!!!
I have always believed in the "power of wallpaper" and love to see it in your homes because it means you love it too!! I spent the whole Christmas break wallpapering for friends and family.

It's such an awesome way to create big, cozy style with minimal effort (and budget!). We recently transformed the girl's room and our basement ... 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

Entry Makeover with Color of the Year
We made-over my friends entry the other day. They have lived in this home for about two years and the entry has bothered her since day one. It doesn't let in a lot of light and the light fixture they had was dated and dark. Also the space was lacking character. Her wish list is to get a new door that has glass to let more light in. Getting a new door is not a priority right now, so she was avoiding doing anything. I am sure a lot of you can relate to that. Thinking that if it isn't going to be "perfect" or your dream entry then why bother? I believe we can all love our homes NOW! With a little ... Read More
Living Room Makeover- Choosing the RIGHT Furniture
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
