Hello and happy Friday!! Lately, I've been in a creative slump- or more so - there's been really no projects for me to do. We are gearing up for a VERY BIG project in the next few weeks (will share more about that in a different post) but that's more so planning/thinking - not getting

There's a million ba' jillion pancake recipes out there and I've tried quite a few. This one I'm sharing with you all today is my family and I's favorite one; it's always the one I make! This recipe is easy to whip up using ingredients that I always have on hand and the pancakes come

For the last at least 5 years I've worn false lashes. Once you start wearing them, it's really hard to quit. Compare it to trying to quit coffee or pop that you are in a habit of drinking everyday - same thing (kind of). Years ago, I tried getting lash extensions which did not go

It is officially spring. I always welcome a new season; usually am always ready for a change. Life though- not always. Life's new seasons aren't as predictable. They come barreling in, sometimes unwelcomed, not caring that I'm not ready for different; that I'm still trying to grasp onto what once was. But there's growth in

Not many people know this about me but back in the day I was a professional cupcake maker. I made cupcakes every. single. day. Matt was sick of my cupcakes. I was sick of my cupcakes. I think even our dog, Jax, was sick of my cupcakes. As a newly stay at home mom with

Hello friends!! Hope you all are doing well! Last weekend I was able to stop at one of my favorite antique stores in town and picked up a few goodies!! For me, thrift and antique stores are hit and miss. Many times, I go and find nothing. Other times, I buy multiple items. Just depends

Hello friends!! Hope you all have been enjoying your summer thus far. Life has finally slowed down a little bit for us here in the last week which has been SO nice. The last few days I've been on a cleaning/organizing rampage. It feels GREAT to get rid of all the stuff that we accumulate

Can you believe it is almost school time already?! I know some of you have already started school but we still have about another week before alarm clocks go off and backpacks are swung on. I love spending the summer with my girls but being the type A person that I am, when August hits,

Throughout the years, my morning routine has changed, based on the different stages of life I've been in. When baby bottles and late night feedings took place, just keeping my eyes open took precedence over anything else during the morning hours. That and lots of coffee. Some seasons I've slept in, others I've rose early.

Cozy vibes aren't just for snow falling nights by a fire; your home can be cozy any time of year with a few purposeful items and things done. I always desire our home to be a cozy, safe haven and there are a few things I do during the warmer months to still make it

Hello!! And happy Monday! As I'm typing this, it is currently snowing and it's so pretty outside. Cold. But pretty. I don't know about you all, but after Christmas, I love to get re-organized in my life. I've frequented Amazon lately and been buying all the things to get me organized, plus a few extras.

Hello and happy Friday!!!!! I'm excited for the cooler weekend ahead! Might even start decorating our fall porch- to see last year's fall porch- go here. Last fall was when we adopted Fluffy, our cat. Since then we've added Marley, our new cocker spaniel- you can go here to see all about him. Today I

Hello friends! Today we are celebrating my daughter, Aubree's 9th birthday. Cake and swimming with friends is on the agenda and then we are letting her pick where we go eat tonight. In a family of 6 it's rare to have the power to choose where we go out to eat at, so she is

Hello!! Today I wanted to share our pumpkin muffin recipe with you all! We are a big fan of muffins over here; another favorite of ours is banana chocolate chip muffins. And give me anything baked with pumpkin in it and I'm a fan! Baking is one of my favorite things to do and I've

Who knew I'd be almost 35 years old and still struggle with acne?! Any one else well past their 20's still struggle with this annoyance? I always thought, and was always told, that I would grow out of my acne. But that really hasn't been the case for me. Is it better than in my

I've heard of others talking about Junkstock for years and finally this year I was able to experience it myself! I thought I'd share my experience and do a review in case any of you were wondering what this Junkstock thing is all about. My sisters told me I would love it, and they were

These cookies are a crowd pleaser in our family - every. single. person. likes them. If you knew how picky some family members are, then you would know this is a BIG DEAL! I've been making these cookies for years - they are soft, delicious and easy to whip up. They don't last more than

The kitchen is a place to come together before our day starts. Where we gather with one another at the end of a school and work day. Our kitchen is also our craft room, paint area and play-doh station. Homework is done among the dishes. Crafts are glued together while I cook. Dancing takes place.

The exterior of our home has always been just as important to us as the interior of our home. When we pull up to our home we desire it to look warm, inviting and cozy. Moving into a house with ZERO landscaping was definitely overwhelming. A blank slate is awesome in some regards but not

Today I decided to bring back Friday chit chat! Woohoo! I wanted to share my faux shiplap ceiling I just did the other day, my new plant babies, as well as some of my favorite finds recently. I don't know about your family but I swear we haven't all been healthy at the same time

It is officially spring. I always welcome a new season; usually am always ready for a change. Life though- not always. Life's new seasons aren't as predictable. They come barreling in, sometimes unwelcomed, not caring that I'm not ready for different; that I'm still trying to grasp onto what once was. But there's growth in

I am SO excited to be typing out this post!! Our kitchen makeover is finally completed and I can't wait to show you all what it looks like now! The kitchen is truly the heart of the home; I've always enjoyed cooking and baking (as well as eating) so the kitchen is truly my happy

Hello! Today we are officially one week into December, crazy! Do you have your Christmas shopping all done yet? I have to say I am quite close to being done and it is a great feeling. Usually I am a last minute shopper- I'm sure as Christmas gets closer I will remember many items I

Landscaping can get real pricey, real quick, but it's one of those things that adds character, charm and sometimes usability to a yard. We have been working on the side of our house now for the last two months and something we knew we wanted was pavers. After a trip to Home Depot and finding

Family pictures are one of those things that can stress a mama out. Picking out outfits for everyone is probably the most stressful thing. Timing out when hair and makeup is done, when the baby is going to eat, when the kids are going to eat, trying to make sure the baby doesn't draw on

Hello friends! It is a foggy, foggy morning over here in the middle of Kansas. I can't really complain though, because this week's weather has been magnificent. Sunny days, clear skies, and a high of 60. Pretty darn perfect. Another thing that is pretty darn perfect, is our laundry room. Over the last couple months

I have to say- I'm pretty happy with my progress this week in our downstairs bathroom! It's crazy all the talent of men and women participating in the One Room Challenge!! (Headed over there after I publish this to check out more projects.) Last week I didn't have much to share- but this week I

Hello friends!! Happy Tuesday! The weather here has been SO beautiful - I have made sure to get outside for a little bit every day because I know it wont last forever. I am obsessed with all the crunchy leaves in our yard. Moving into a new build home, we started out with zero landscaping.

Fall is in the air and I am SO ready for it!!! This last week we have been blessed with cooler weather, with some rain as well, and it has been glorious. So glorious, that I decided it was time to deck out the porch for fall! I drove past our local hardware store and

Yesterday was the first official day of summer for us! Girls are out of school, all of the end of school year stuff is done and the next few months are looking a little less busy which we are welcoming with open arms. The month of May is always crazy for us so I'm ready

I am a puzzle person. Give me a puzzle, a beverage, maybe a snack and I will be good for literally hours. It's hard for me to walk away from an unfished puzzle, anyone else?! Over Christmas my mom and me spent hours upon hours putting together a 1000 piece puzzle over the course of

Hello! This week, thus far, has been BEAUTIFUL!!! Cool, crisp mornings are my jam and it has been a breath of fresh air. Literally. Today, I am SO pumped to show you all our master bathroom makeover! This has been months of work- LOTS of painting, wallpapering and last weekend I made over our glass

The last few weeks I've done some small projects in the downstairs bathroom but do not have a ton to share this week! Go HERE to see other people's projects- I have a few favorites that I'm following along with! There are still so many little (and a few big) things to be done! I've

I used to go thrifting ALL THE TIME years ago and I still have a lot of those pieces dispersed throughout my home. It is amazing what a little paint and time can do and I love finding random treasures that I can turn into something beautiful. A few months ago, on a much needed
