Last week I shared that our bedding is all on sale (still is). And yes, even on sale it is a splurge. Or for some it falls right into budget with what they would spend. I worked in a high-end design firm for 17 years, everything was mostly out of my budget. But it sure gave me champaign taste, while learning WHY some items just cost more. I visited many factories and watched the process, so I have appreciation for those "splurge items". I am not going to bash on either side of the budget vs splurge, because honestly both are great! If you are a reader of my blog, I share all price ... Read More
Friday Favorites starts with Home Decor Online and SALES!!
Last Friday I shared some of my new favorite home decor pieces from Target on the blog. Over on Instagram I posted some Instagram Stories as we shopped for the pieces, so you could see them "in person". I actually rarely go to Target. Our church is next to Target, so I try to combine the activities. Ella had an activity on a Wednesday night so I took Finn and Lola with me to Target to kill the hour. Finn is at the age that he is really hard to take shopping. He wants to get out and walk. My girls would always sit quietly in the cart with a little snack. Not Finn. I was picking out a couple ...

Trader Joe’s Fall Bucket List- Top 45 Items
I had to do it. Just couldn't let the Fall Season pass without sharing all of my Trader Joe's Favorites. I asked all of you what your Fall Favorites were from Trader Joe's too!

Friday Favorites starts with Target Finds
Happy Friday! We popped into Target the other night quickly, I hadn't been there for a couple weeks. The last time I went they didn't have anything new so it was anti climatic. Don't you hate those Targets visits? Ha! But this time I saw a lot to share that I loved! I didn't buy anything but there are a couple things I am thinking about. I don't really need anything- but I might sell a mirror that is in our bedroom for that floor mirror I linked below! It is so pretty in person! Target has a sale on most of these furniture pieces that ends on Saturday. Click on an item to shop it. You ... Read More
Girls Shared Bedroom NEW Blue Waves Wallpaper
I am very excited to share the girls bedroom changes with you. They both love it so much and so do I! Right now this is my favorite room in our house, but ask me after the next room I update! After I finished decorating it I kept coming up here at random times just to smile! If you missed it, I shared the WHY behind the little changes on a recent blog post. Basically Ella wanted her own room and it boiled down to the fact that she wanted to decorate it with more blue and wanted an exciting change. There is no way she would want to sleep by herself. The girls really love sharing a room ... Read More

And I just realized that this is the first holiday I get to decorate the front of the house with our new white shake shingle siding! It feels so fresh and more personal to our family. You know when you move into an existing home and it smells different, there are weird noises and doesn't feel quite like you? Well, now almost 3 1/2 years later we have put our stamp on about everything in this little 1950's cape. And just a reminder it takes TIME! Making a home doesn't happen overnight. And making a ...
