When we moved into our new home, I needed rugs, and quite a few of them. I originally started out with the washable rugs from Walmart and Amazon. But things quickly escalated when I got my hands on these affordable vintage rugs I’m about to show you. Several years ago when we visited my cousin in Alabama, she had the… View Post
If you’ve landed here and thought, wait….is this blog still alive? First, bless you for checking. Second, SURPRISE because the answer is YES! It’s been a solid three-ish years since I last typed anything here, when I told you about about the best sectional (and it still is!). Life happened, as it tends to do. We moved into a new… View Post
I finally found the PERFECT sectional and I am so excited to show you today!! When I tell you I have been looking for YEARS, I am not exaggerating. I think I have been looking for at least 4 years now, and now I’m happy to say I found it and it is dreamy! It was delivered several months ago,… View Post
I know I am probably way late to this, but this new-to-me kitchen gadget is AMAZING. I thought I didn’t need it, but turns out I did need it, and so do you. :) Meet my new little egg cooker who makes the most magical eggs in just minutes. I’m so in love with this little thing! The funny thing… View Post
I have wanted wood stairs for sooooo long because carpet is nasty and just doesn’t look as pretty! We have had these wood stairs for 2 years now, and I still love them so so much. We got them done around May 2020, you know…lockdown renovations because we needed something to do right?! We totally hired this job out, and… View Post
Well here’s a big life update for you…I quit drinking alcohol. How I Started to Quit Drinking Coming up in May of this year, it will be 3 years. And that is pretty unbelievable to me, because wine was such a part of my every day normal. The thing is, is that I didn’t intentionally quit. I was planning to… View Post
You know when you have grand plans to get back to something you loved, but then years pass by and it never happened? Uhhhh, yea. That’s me. I did have plans to start writing again. I loved it. I love having a place where life is documented (and I still search for stuff on my own blog, especially our paint… View Post
Sometimes I really wish I knew what I was doing when it comes to plants and gardening. And I wish I had the patience to learn. ;) But the truth is I don’t know much at all, which is probably an embarrassing fact to my Mom, grandmother, and sister, who just so happen to be gardening princesses. I love to… View Post
Oh, well, hello there friend! Yes, this is Emily you aren’t dreaming! Mercy…where do I even begin here? It’s been too long since I have blogged, and goodness, that makes my heart break a little. So let me fill you in. I hate to give the lame “busy” excuse. So let me think of another… We’ve just been doing life together…. View Post
So I am one of those people where I usually take Christmas down the day AFTER. This year I waited a few days and I’m not sure how I actually managed to do that. I am always itching for that clean feeling and want to go into the new year with our home all nice and tidy, and not a… View Post
GUYS!! If you love cranberry bread, or maybe you’ve never even tried it, or heck, maybe you’ve even tried it and hated it before…you’ve gotta try this recipe! There’s no other bread better than mama’s bread right?! We’ve been eating this for I can’t tell you how long, probably my whole life, and nothing compares! Thanks Mom! <3 [pinit count=”horizontal”]… View Post
Yes the most wonderful time of the year. FALL. I know I’ve said that many times. :) But we finally dragged out some of the Fall bins from the attic and I dug out a few decorations! I keep things very simple these days. Clutter drives me crazy, so I keep it pretty minimal. Because prepping for holidays is no… View Post
