Hello! I am joining Marty for her Bloggers Fall Home Tour. I love to join this tour every season, it is a great way to get inspiration and to share other amazing blogs with all of you! If you are coming over from hbErin Spain welcome to my blog! We are a family of five, living in Connecticut. We are less than a mile to the beach and about an hour from NYC. Living in an 1100 square foot house, I don't do a lot of seasonal decor, but I do make some small intentional changes to my every-day decor and of course add a pumpkin or 20! It is a good time to refresh, move things from room to room and to ... Read More

Friday Favorites Starts with Pillows
My new Mudcloth Pillows are just making me so happy. There is so much devastation right now with Texas it has been hard to not feel guilty and silly for being happy about pillows. Even just doing normal everyday things- like taking my kids to school, that is not happening in Texas. I almost didn't share my new pillows, but I thought they are a good distraction right now with the disturbing news. And over on my Instagram you could win two pillows- so maybe that would brighten someones day. If you haven't noticed the pillow trend of Mudcloth yet- well it's strong! Here are some of my favorite ... Read More

Friday Favorites starts with ways to Make the Most of Everything
On my Instagram the other day. I talked about how my really good friend lived in a small house in Downtown Salt Lake City. Most homes in that area are older, just like mine and smaller scale. I have to say I LOVED driving up to her home and passing the small quant restaurants all glowing at night. She lived on the most charming street, one of those streets you want to get out and walk so you can peep in the windows. Well one of downsides to this charming area and home is lack of storage. Back then we lived in 3,000 square feet in a new residential area. I have to admit I was a little horrified ... Read More
Friday Favorites starts with Entry Ideas
Hello! I missed doing Friday Favorites the last two weeks because we were on vacation in Utah then in California for the last week. I actually get the most feedback that you all like these posts...so I want to keep them going! I did have some ideas scheduled but the wi-fi was touch and go where we were staying so I just had to learn to let-it-go. Believe me it was frustrating at first to not check Instagram for a week, but it was actually really nice to be forced to not work and not be on my cell phone. We swam a lot, played hard and had just the best time. I know that I won't regret that time ... Read More
Quick Healthy Green Smoothie Recipe
I shared on my Friday post that I got a Vitamix for Mothers Day and that I would share my favorite smoothie recipe. Smoothies are my quick-go to meal replacement. Sometimes I don't have time to sit and eat breakfast or lunch so making a quick healthy smoothie is a life saver, especially when trying to eat my best and healthiest. I asked my hubby if he knew I wanted a Vitamix from THIS post where I talked about making my favorite Paleo Non-Dairy Ice-Cream. A reader asked what type of blender I had and I told her I really wanted a Vitamix. Kevin said he saw that comment after he ... Read More
Friday Favorites starts with Bathrooms and more about us
I am a little late sharing my Friday Favorites today. We have had a rough week with Lola getting her tonsils and adenoids removed. Just as everyone said (I hoped would skip Lola) day 7 and 8 were the worst and nights are the hardest. But we are on the up swing and this morning she ate a pumpkin pancake and drank a lot and I started to tear up! Such a blessing to have healthy kids. I cant even imagine a terminally ill child, my heart breaks for those going through such experiences. I did want to share some of favorite things from the past week. Including a little more about us at the end of ... Read More
Outdoor Casual Dining on our Painted Deck
It finally stopped raining and we pulled out all the furniture from the shed. Can I tell you how excited I am to start eating out here every night? Instead of my normal Friday Favorites post I joined Melaine from My Sweet Savannah and 6 other bloggers to share some outdoor dining ideas today. We really love using our deck- it feels like our 1100 square foot home doubles in size when the weather warms up! We keep it casual around here for dinner and when we have people over to eat. You will really never see me set a fancy table- only at Thanksgiving and even then it is REALLY casual. I ... Read More
Homemade Artisan Bread- The Easiest recipe Six different ways
I have shared my moms favorite Homemade Artisan Bread recipe on my blog before. I had a special sign made for her for mothers day last year with a scripture about bread. My mom made this homemade bread everyday for a year and took it to someone new. She figured it only cost her 24 cents to make and not anytime at all, but I am sure it brightened someones day to know they were thought about. My mom and I came up with 6 different ways to make this bread. It is the easiest bread recipe ever! Seriously you don’t have to knead this bread or any fancy equipment. I personally don’t eat a lot to ... Read More
