A collection of tips, tricks, ideas and stories all about home. I share fun, family crafts projects and ideas, our DIY projects, different home decor ideas & more! I love creating a loving and holy space for my family and this is a compilation of my ideas, a special peek inside our home!
Growing our home library quickly became a priority after becoming a SAHM. I soon realized that the little books we had were old and worn out. I resolved with myself that I would find a way to get books for our home library and create an amazing habit of reading to the kids regularly! Beautiful & Affordable I came across Usborne Books and I was just in awe of how beautiful they were! The gorgeous…
So I have been working on a little something and with a little (okay a lot) of pushing from my husband, I finally did it. I started my own Etsy shop to sell my artwork as printable wall art! Art and designing is always something that I have loved doing. I took art classes all through school and went on to get my Associates Degree in Graphic Design in college. Since then I have done…
I have always been artistic and was definitely blessed with talent in the area! I really love to draw and paint and that love grew into the digital world with my love of graphic design! With working full-time and having a small army of kids, I rarely have time to sit and create. After I had Kip, I knew I wanted to take advantage of my time at home and create something, anything really! I…
Every time I tell people that my toddler sleeps in our closet I get strange looks. I can’t imagine why? Ha! It is true though! She literally sleeps in the closet right off of our bedroom. Now, to clarify…this is a decent sized walk in closet, our second closet that was unused. (All of our clothes are in our other closet!) But, it is a closet none the less. And it works perfectly!
When Vayda’s second birthday was approaching I knew I wanted to come up with a really fun and cute theme! Marlee had a Minnie Mouse birthday party for her second birthday and Vayda loves Minnie Mouse just the same! To make Vayda’s party stand out from Marlee’s, I went with the Classic Minnie Mouse theme instead of the current popular pink Minnie Mouse from Mickey Mouse Clubhouse.

Last weekend we celebrated Chase’s birthday! My youngest son turned 7 and we had a celebration with family and friends. All of our birthday parties are small and nothing extravagant but I like to add a fun theme for them and decorate a little from that! The rule in our family has gone, starting on your seventh birthday, you get to invite school friends! (Don’t ask why seven…that was the first year Marlee had friends…
Man alive this was another busy weekend! We have been busting our butts getting ready for this home appraisal and this weekend was no different! My weekends have been one big blur lately. The kids’ rooms have been easily neglected because they are upstairs and people rarely see them. We keep them clean and organized but they are a mish mash of unmatched bedding, hand-me-down furniture and worn out paint. To get the best results…
Things have been crazy around here lately! But who am I kidding…things are always crazy! Well, they have been a little crazier than normal because we have officially started planning our next BIG home renovation. A garage addition! And you know, since it is a garage, the ‘man’s’ thing, it has to be the biggest and best! I will admit that I am excited for it too. We have never had a garage…or a useful…
It’s back too school and along with that comes homework! Each year our kids have brought home two sets of flash cards and are asked to practice them each night. While this is great for them and super easy, I always battle with these cards! They are always such a mess and we can’t find the whole set and if you do, you fumble around with the whole deck trying the run through them with…
