So, we went to IKEA yesterday. On a Sunday. Crazytown. I always try to plan my trips to IKEA on the weekdays when the madness is less, the lines aren’t a mile long, and when the bathrooms are actually in working order. But we went on a whim because there was a particular rug I wanted to get that I… View Post
You know that time you had kids and wanted to give them moon and the stars, and the best birthday party ever? That time you went all out and spent a lot of money in the process? That time you spent hours cleaning, decorating, and preparing food for the party? Well, this year I am taking a stance and saying… View Post
You know how sometimes you think moving furniture around is such a huge ordeal, or you are scared to try something, so you just let your furniture placement sit like it is forever? Well that was me. Sure I will move a table or a few chairs around here and there, but for the most part, our living room has… View Post
So I want to know, how many lamps do you have in your living room? Our living room recently got a little big switcheroo by my hubby when I was out of town last week. So props to him because I actually LIKE it! But one thing I hate using is our overhead lights that are in the 2-story ceiling… View Post
My sweet, rambunctious Ellie turned 2 yesterday! Can you believe it?! I really loved doing 1 month updates up until she was 1 year old, so obviously I stopped when she turned 1 last July. So you don’t see much of her these days on the blog. I guess it’s time to have another baby. Although I don’t know if… View Post

And today I’m going to show you all a few different ways to decorate with it, since I am participating in Beth from Home Stories A to Z’s How To… View Post
Decorating walls. It can be bliss, or it can be torture deciding what to put where. Accent wall or no accent wall? Gallery wall or no gallery wall but large pictures instead? See, torture I tell you. Luckily though, a fabulous company called Walls Need Love has taken all of the questions that run in our mind and put it… View Post
So I’ve been thinking a lot lately about our home. What to do next. What to do for US and not jump the gun at what everyone else is doing sort of thing you know? But lately I can’t get images out of my head of rooms that have dark wainscoting. I know I know. Everyone typically does white. And… View Post
Ahhhhhh! Can you believe it? Remember that post I wrote back in February about homeshooling? Well, we are officially on board! That post generated so many helpful comments and suggestions, that I knew what was tugging at my heartstrings was meant to be. I’m so thankful to have you all to discuss them with. :) This will be a serious… View Post
There’s just something about Alabama. We were on vacation last week and got back earlier this week. We had a wonderful time, like we always do. It’s nice to get away from the hustle and bustle and flat land of Houston, and see beautiful greenery and hills. Like, real hills. If we ever move, it’d likely be to Alabama where… View Post

Woohoo it’s Friday!! And hopefully summer by now where you live! Today I am sharing something so incredibly beautiful and unique with you all and I know you will love it. I was able to order some goodies from the one and only MacKenzie-Childs, and now I’m just spoiled rotten. Hate me. Established in 1983 and based in Aurora, New… View Post
