Odds N Ends
[tps_header] I enjoy cooking, but sometimes I need a break from standing by the oven or over the stove, which is why I'm always on the look out for great salad recipes. A couple years ago, my husband and I decided that our diet needed a serious overhaul. Pizza nights and fast food were all too common, and we were starting to not feel very good. We decided to try to follow the paleo guidelines, and we were really happy with not only what we were eating but how we felt. Not all of these salads ...Continue Reading
Pumpkin Breakfast Recipes
[tps_header] It's almost time for my most favorite season... fall! And with fall comes, of course, pumpkin flavored everything! I'm a huge fan of pumpkin scented things, and they're usually all over my house come autumn. From pumpkin candles and soaps to homemade vanilla pumpkin sugar scrubs, all pumpkin all the time sounds just fine with me. Honestly, I can't think of a better way to start a fall morning than with a delicious pumpkin breakfast, and I'm sure these recipes won't disappoint. ...Continue Reading

Star Wars Bedroom Ideas
I'm so excited to share that the surprise makeover of my son's bedroom is coming along nicely. He comes home in tomorrow (eek!), and I still have some painting to finish and a room to reassemble, but I think we'll be able to get most of it done before he comes home. I thought today it would be fun to share a sneak peek at some of the new things he'll soon have in his new Star Wars bedroom. ...Continue Reading

Free Printable Decluttering Guide
I could not be more excited to share this post with you today! Last year, I wrote a post about the 5 questions to ask while decluttering, and while it's been a helpful post for a lot of people, I knew it could be better. I wanted to create something that people could have in hand while trying to declutter their homes. Something printable, easy to reference, and that could act as a decluttering buddy or guide even for those working alone. That's how this printable was born. Hmm... I have ...Continue Reading
Inspiring Bedroom Ideas for Teenage Boys
[tps_header]In just a few days, my son will be leaving for two weeks at sleep away camp, and I'm cooking up a surprise for while he's gone. I'm not 100% sure I'll be able to pull it off (so I guess it's a good thing he doesn't know about it!) because, like all of my wild and crazy ideas, I've thought this one up way too late to give myself adequate time to prepare. I guess it's a good thing I've been a procrastinator all my life; I'm used to working at the last minute and under pressure. ...Continue Reading
Easy tips for creating and hanging a gallery wall
Creating a gallery wall has been on my to do list ever since we moved into our home four years ago, but it took my forever to get around to it. To be honest, the whole thing completely intimidated me. We have high ceilings in our family room (probably around 20 feet tall at its peak) and a large blank space on the wall behind our couch. That wall was empty for three or so years, which was really depressing. Our home still wasn't feeling like ours, and I missed seeing family photos on display ...Continue Reading
