Girl Gift Guide: Ages 2-3

| Uncategorized

The past two Christmas' buying for the girls has been easy. However this year I have run into some challenges because they are into a lot of the same thing. My inbox is full of moms in my shoes begging me for some Christmas ideas, so I thought I would put together a list for 2 and 5 year old girls! I also have some great lists coming for everyone else on your list! Some of the items will be the same (girl mom life) but each list has some great ideas! This was the first year Matt and I sat down ...

Painting Your Tile

| Decor, DIY, Home Decor, Living Spaces

I'm not going to lie the first time I heard someone talk about painting their tile I was freaked right out. Why would someone ever do that?!

Anyway I have always had a love/hate with our basement. ...

I originally was going to stick to my no fail shiplap but she's such a girly girl I wanted something pretty and ...

My New Flooring Obession

| Uncategorized

This post is sponsored by Everywhere Agency on behalf of Tarkett; however, all thoughts and opinions expressed are my own. I have been wanting to redo Noelle's bedroom forever and we finally did it! I partnered with Tarkett to rip up her awful old carpet and lay their awesome LVP down. When we started talking about this project I really wanted a room that was girly (she's a diva) but one that could also grow with her. I have design ADD and could remodel our rooms yearly but I try to design ...
