Decorchick!

Well This Is A Surreal Moment…I’m Published! In a Real Magazine!

People have dreams, people have ambitions. People often think those dreams aren’t achievable or their goals are too far fetched. I’m here today to debunk those silly myths because they really are possible. How so you ask? Well, because I am in a real magazine!! And not just any ole magazine. It’s Better Homes and Gardens’ Kitchens + Bath Makeovers magazine!!!

Better Homes and Gardens Publication

It’s still hard for me to believe that our white kitchen is published. It’s been a dream of mine. A big dream to be published. I’ve had many online features before which I’m so thankful for too, but there’s just something extra special of being in print. You know, like a REAL magazine that you actually read and flip through the pages. Not scroll with your fingers on your ipad with.

And don’t be surprised if you see this magazine and article framed and matted in our house somewhere in the future because you better believe that will be happening. :) And no it’s not to brag by any means. People frame their diplomas because it’s something they are proud of right? Well I am pretty darn proud and humbled about this. Who would have thought 3 years ago when I started this blog this would happen? Definitely not me.

I received my comp copy that BHG sent to me, and I will have to go buy 10 more copies now and save for a rainy day. ;) But the magazine is out on newstands today (Summer 2013 edition), so go pick up a copy!  If I ever happen to run into you while out and about, I’ll sign my autograph on your copy. KIDDING. :)

I’d like to thank Karran for my gorgeous quartz sink and Formica for being integral parts in my kitchen makeover again. Their fabulous products are what makes my kitchen special!

Thanks for all of your support and keeping me going friends. This is the best “job” ever and I’m so grateful. Don’t think I take any of this for granted any minute of any day. God is so good.

xxoo,

Decorchick!

    Gorgeous kitchen! Congrats! You SHOULD be proud! I have followed your posts about your white kitchen for a long time now, and I love everything you’ve done…In fact, it truly has inspired me…A painter came and took my doors off last week, and taking them away to be sprayed in “white dove” (Yayyy!). I don’t think I ever would’ve done it, if I hadn’t read all your posts. You will never know how many people’s lives you affect in such a positive way. All I can say is THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU, and keep it up! One last note – there are a million tutorials on board and batten, but I found yours to be one of the most helpful – my husband put it up in our living room and mudroom. I’m sooo happy : ) Thanks for all the advice!

    Guys on forums say there is no working roulette system, you can’t beat
    it in the long run, but i’m using bluehand roulette system for
    weeks and it earns me decent money everyday, maybe couple
    of weeks is not a long run, maybe i’m lucky

This is what happens when you go to the neighborho This is what happens when you go to the neighborhood petting zoo at Christmas to see the baby goats.🤷‍♀️🤷‍♀️🤪

2 labradoodle puppies were NOT on my 2026 vision board, but here we are.🥰

How could you NOT with these gorgeous colorings?! A red and blue Merle are so unique, and they are the sweetest!🐶🐶

It was my first time going with Randy to one of hi It was my first time going with Randy to one of his gigs. This wasn’t just any gig though. It was a very special wedding for a beautiful couple.❤️

And after witnessing firsthand what all he does for events like this, I have a new appreciation for what he does because it is a LOT.🤯

From loading in setting up three PA systems in 3 separate areas, then immediately switching gears to performance mode and playing ceremony music + sax, dinner music + MC’ing, then reception DJ’ing + sax. It was really pretty freaking mind-blowing to be honest. And then you have to tear it all down! Talk about a full day (I felt hungover the next day and I don’t even drink), but if you are in the entertainment business you get it. And he does this multiple times a month!

So many moving parts, and being flexible when you need to switch gears at the last minute, and he handles it with so much ease. That’s why he’s the professional at his craft.🫶

I was just there more as his emotional support person, but would love to do more events with him where I’m actually useful. 🤪Maybe I’ll learn to wrap up cords the right way one day to his liking, but that’s doubtful. 🤣

It was the perfect new year’s day and can’t wait to do it again!❤️

Congrats @claudine.said and @chefaustinsimmons it was a JOY witnessing your special day.

3 years without Daddy and Pawpaw💔 Does life mo 3 years without Daddy and Pawpaw💔

Does life move on? 

Yes, but not without a hazy fog lingering over you that never fully lifts.

Not without the deep ache in your heart longing for more time.

Not without reaching for your phone wanting to call or text.

Not without the family gatherings knowing someone is missing, even though no one mentions it.

Not without crying when you think of him or look at old photos.

I still cannot talk about him without tearing up. Certain songs or sayings break me.

After losing a parent, everything looks different. Time with your family begins to feel more intentional, because you want the moments to last.

The hustle feels less important, because you realize your people matter more than any dollar amount.

Grief and gratitude can coexist. It’s okay to be sad, and it’s okay to be thankful for a dad who is worth missing.❤️
