Organizing is really “on trend” right now, which is kind of my dream come true. Bins, baskets, drawers… These are a few of my favorite things. The only problem with trendy things is the inevitable markup. Organizers are so expensive- it can be nearly impossible to make a dent in your project without a major…

5 NORWEX PRODUCTS WORTH BUYING (AN HONEST REVIEW) | PT. 2
Last summer I shared my 5 favorite Norwex products and, as it turns out, a lot of you were curious to find out more! So I’m back at it with another 5 that are newer to my collection but equally worth buying, in my opinion! I do not sell Norwex, I just enjoy sharing products…
5 NORWEX PRODUCTS WORTH BUYING (AN HONEST REVIEW)
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….
OUR FAVORITE NURSERY ITEMS THAT LAST THROUGH TODDLER YEARS
It feels like just yesterday I was sitting here writing about C’s nursery transformation. But now that C has turned 2, things are changing big time in his room! While a lot of baby things are moving next door to the new nursery, there are a few things that we wouldn’t dream of moving because…
5 HOME THINGS WE LOVE
Boy, things have changed! We are currently in a worldwide pandemic and trying to do our part by staying home. But it’s not all bad around here! We have some big news to share… After facing trials and losses last year in trying to conceive, we are so happy to announce that we’re pregnant again!…
REPLACING OUR COUNTER STOOLS + WASHABLE RUG UPDATE
In our *old* age, we have determined that comfort is key. One of our first purchases for our current home was a pair of metal counter stools for our kitchen island. While they are cute, affordable, and, yes, even functional, they are gosh dang terrible to sit on. I actually avoided sitting at the island…
WE BOUGHT A GOOGLE NEST THERMOSTAT
For my birthday this year, Megan surprised me with a new Google Nest Thermostat! We’ve considered getting a smart thermostat since we moved in, but had always decided it was better to spend the money on something else. Fortunately for me, Megan found the stainless steel Google Nest Learning Thermostat Gen 3 on a half-off…
ATTEMPTING TO PREVENT WEEDS BETWEEN PAVERS
Ahh, Fall in the Midwest! The temperate transition from stifling humidity to bone-chilling cold. Bugs go into hibernation and the explosion of weeds that annually seizes dominion over our landscape slowly withers away. Weeding has been the bane of our summer that last couple years. We have an aging paver patio that was installed over…
TODDLER BEDROOM BOOKSHELVES
Saturday mornings at our house are usually busy with odd jobs and small projects. A week or so ago, I took a trip to IKEA with my best friend and picked up three of the BEKVÄM spice racks for $4.99 each! Well, they’re called spice racks, but I’ve seen them more commonly used as bookshelves….
HANGING A BABY GATE | USING A LASER LEVEL
We try to plan our projects out in advance, regardless of size, to help us stay on budget. When our toddler started making a dash for the stairs at every opportunity, hanging a baby gate jumps to the top of our list. Fortunately, this is a quick “knock-out-during-a-nap” sort of project, so we dove right…
