We are still in Utah with so many family and friends, we can't help but do a couple makeovers! Kevin always teases that Utah isn't a vacation, since he was born and raised here. We have a fun vacation planned in a few short weeks to Hawaii. So we are going to keep doing our favorite thing- makeovers!!! Today we are sharing a guest room makeover. Which is kind-of selfish, since it is the guest room we stay in when we come to Utah at my parents house. I jokingly told Kevin I got him a bed for Christmas. Which is kind-of true. He really didn't like the bed that was in the guest room at ... Read More

Easy Bedding Idea and Curtain Panel Tips- Bedroom Makeover
We are lucky enough to live around some really great people, who are way too kind about my ability to makeover a room. I had met Keith at our local CrossFit and he was cracking me up how he knew the term "Water Wednesday" and "Thirsty Thursday". So I knew he was a real fan. Ha. So when he and his wife Lauren, asked me to come over and help them with their guest room, I was game. I typically say no to design jobs, but I consider them friends. Also I told them if I can share their room makeover on my blog then that is the only way I will do it. I want to be able to help everyone, so my blog is ... Read More

20 Benefits of a Weighted Blanket and Giveaway
I have talked about how my oldest daughter had a hard time going to sleep and even staying asleep. I asked her if I could share more of what we have been doing to help support her. We have a nightly routine of diffusing, roller bottles, reading and prayer. It was the perfect combo. She was able to calm her mind to relax and accept the fact that it was time to go to bed! But, she still managed to wander down to our room about an hour later, after being dead asleep. She would say that, she can't go to sleep. When in fact she was! She would go back to bed, but poor girl was not getting full ... Read More
Splurge vs Budget- Our Bedding Two Price Points!
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 ...

How to Make your Bedding Fluffy and our new Bedding
We were overdue for some new bedding. I had a white linen duvet on our bed that Kevin had given to me as a Birthday gift 8 years ago! He knew I really wanted it and that I was nervous about spending a lot of money on bedding. He surprised me with it along with a little scavenger hunt he set up because he was out of town for work. I learned a good lesson from that bedding...and that Kevin is a keeper:)! If you spend the money on quality and timeless bedding you will love it for years and it will last for years.
