Our house is way overdue for cleaning, so I thought I’d bring you along with me today! The MVP on my cleaning days is Norwex. Look out, here comes a disclaimer… We’re simple people. I’m not a saleswoman. In fact, selling anything for anyone is ranked pretty high up on my list of worst nightmares….
I think we can all agree that 2020 is off to a rough start. (Can I say that almost 6 months into the year?) We, like most people, had a summer trip planned that we cancelled when COVID-19 got a foothold in the U.S. Determined to get our toes in the sand this summer, we…
Choosing a paint color for a room is one of the hardest parts of redecorating. We picked up dozens of teal paint swatches for the new nursery to compare to my nursery “mood board”. Comparing a color online vs. on a chip vs. on the wall and then vs. the whole painted wall in various…
If you saw our last post about nursery inspiration, you’ll remember the mood board I made for Baby #2’s nursery. Gracing this mood board was an exceptionally beautiful tripod lamp from Target. It was everything I wanted except for the fact that it was expensive… too expensive for our nursery budget. I mean- it was…
While I’m sitting here in the nursery staring at four different paint swatches on the wall, I thought it’d be fun to share our nursery planning process. I’ve been allll over the place deciding on a theme for the new room. For C’s room, I knew exactly what I wanted to do right away. This…
Here we are again! It seems like we just decorated C’s woodland themed nursery. C turned two in March and, yeah, I’m still reeling over it! Baby boys grow into toddler guys and now it’s all about planes, trains, and automobiles! C has been fascinated by trains for quite some time now. He will line…
Spring rains are upon us here in Missouri. Everyday this week has been misty and muggy. Weeds are thriving right now, and I know we complain about our unwanted plants a lot, but the worst of them all are the invasive bush honeysuckle. If you live on basically any continent that’s not Asia, you’ve seen…
This might be our riskiest DIY yet… If you remember when we built our mini toy shed, you’ll know we ordered new basement windows on a whim. We figured, “Hey, we’re paying the same delivery fee, might as well get our money’s worth!” Plus, it was early in our pandemic quarantine days and we were…
It’s been an eventful week! We started off with a very wet kitchen floor. Tyler had been washing the dishes and noticed the pull down spray nozzle was kind of leaky. When I walked up to check it out, my toes hit water. And unless you’re at the beach, that’s never a good feeling (which,…
Working in our backyard is a complicated effort to establish a boundary between a nice lawn and a healthy wooded area. We love our trees and forest-y creatures, but we also want to have a lush grassy space for our family to romp around. Our fenced area is what we call our “backyard”. Beyond the…
