Halloween Front Porch
Hi Everyone! The kids and I have been gearing up for Halloween around the house this month! All who dare enter will find bats, crows, rats, spiders (oh so many spiders!), ghosts, skeletons and even a little Halloween village we put together. Today, I wanted to show you how we decorated the front porch to get ready for Halloween night! This post contains affiliate links. I may receive a small commission for any sales made through them. My kids like a little spooky but nothing really scary. I personally think the scariest thing out here is our overgrown landscaping…let’s just say it is not my forte. I began by putting…

Modern Rustic Living Room
I have partnered with Raymour & Flanigan and received product in exchange for this post. All expressed opinions are 100% my own. Hi Friends! Can you believe summer is almost over? My kids start school tomorrow and I know I am going to miss having them to myself every day. Even though, they are so ready to go. They are counting down the days with excitement. Hazel will be entering second grade, Owen first grade, and Violet turns two in November. So it’s sure to be a busy, fun filled year. I have continued working away at making our new house a home and finally have made lots of progress…

Miniature Beach Campsite from Nature
Hey Everyone! I’ve been away for a bit. I spent last week in beautiful Lake Tahoe, celebrating my sister’s wedding. Hazel and I had a girls trip, just the two of us, all the way across the country to be in the wedding party. It was a whirlwind with our flight being delayed and losing out on one of our vacation days, but we made the best of it. And I am so glad I was there to celebrate with my sister. It was hard to be away though, and I have to say, there is truly no place like home. I couldn’t wait to give my other two kids…

Gold Light Fixtures in the Kitchen
I have partnered with Bellacor.com for this post. All expressed opinions are 100% my own. Full disclosure. Well, hello there! It’s been a few months since I have popped in over here with an update, but I am excited to be back with you today. Life with the little ones and working on our new home has kept me busy as of late. I am definitely enjoying watching Hazel, Owen and Violet grow and don’t want to miss a moment of it. We have been working on making the home we purchased last summer into our own. The biggest transformation, so far, has definitely taken place in the kitchen. The…

Favorite Decorating from Our Previous Home
It’s hard to believe that we have lived in our new home for over six months now. I am loving all of the extra space and conveniences nearby, not to mention the opportunity to decorate with a completely new palette. We have met and even begun to build friendships with wonderful neighbors in our cul-de-sac, and it really does feel like home. I have to admit though, I still have moments where I miss our old house, the small country town we lived in, and the amazing neighbors we left behind. I still get a twinge of sadness when I think of that first home we lived in for seven…

Minimalist Master Bedroom Staged to Sell
Today, I’m excited to pick back up on a series I started over the summer, showing how we staged our previous house to sell. It was a major undertaking with three small children and having to live in it at the same time, but we did it on our own and for minimal cost. Once we got the house listed, we had six showings the first day and were able to sell it for above list price in less than 24 hours. It really came down to decluttering and staging to make that possible, since we did not live in a particularly “hot” market area. I started this series with…
