Miss E started preschool this year! Along with the first day of school and the thousand photo I took came the first of many schedules and reminder notices. I brought them home and put them in a folder that I had assigned to her and quickly forgotten what the dates were and why I needed…
Recent Home Updates!
I wanted to share some of our recent home updates! This past summer we decide to have the whole interior of our house repainted. It had been a shade of beige and blue since we moved in 6 years ago, and I was getting tired of it. The beige turned yellow and I was tired…
Laundry Room Reorganization {5 Tips for a Quick Cleanup}
The laundry room–one of two areas of my home that was never really organized or used efficiently. It became the catch-all for household repair items and cleaning products. We recently decided to paint it (along with the rest of the house), and with a fresh coat of paint, it was begging for a good scrub…
DIY Chalkboard Room Divider
Some days I feel like we are drowning in toys. Seriously, they always seem to be everywhere, and my kids don’t play with half of what we have. We purchased a cubicle storage system from Costco last summer, and it helped us contain the smaller toys. It also helped us to get rid of toys:…
5 Questions to ask Before You Reorganize!
With fall around the corner and the new school season upon us, we have plenty of projects we’re wanting to tackle.

Five essentials I buy in bulk and freeze…always!
Our freezer is small…not hardly big enough to store the everyday items that have to be stored there. So we recently purchased this small chest freezer (using ebates we even got $ back!) to start storing more items, but also to be able to buy in bulk when needed. So I though I’d share with…
Inspired by Spring: Sprucing Up the Entryway (+a Canvas Print Giveaway!)
One of the things I love about spring is how it inspires me to spruce things up! Cleaning, organizing, and rearranging seem to happen naturally during the spring months, and it’s no surprise. As the world outside embraces sunshine and bright blooms and sweet scents, my home begs for a bit of that spring glory inside! I usually…
Annie Sloan Aubusson and Graphite Side Table Makeover
Recently, I have had the urge to either sell or repurpose everything in my house! Ha! Like, seriously though. I want to paint my kitchen cabinets, my dining room table, I want to find an old media cabinet to make new… I pretty much want to purge anything in my house that has that dark…
Fun Magnet Storage from a Shampoo Bottle!
So if your child is anything like mine, your fridge looks like this… all. the. time. What’s that, your child doesn’t throw all of her magnets on the floor 5 seconds after you pick them up and put them back on the fridge? Hmmm… that’s strange! Either way, this is a great solution for fridge…
Baby G2 Nursery Update with a small rant!
We’ve made progress!! Wahoo! Some of you may look at these pictures and say “Progress? There is nothing in that room” or “You are due in 5 weeks and you don’t have anything done!?”… yes, Mom… I know. But believe me when I say- this is progress! If you remember, this is what this room…
