I feel like everybody and their brother, want to be organized. We all want beautiful pantries, with labeled shelves, closets that never have piles of ...Continue Reading
Odds N EndsBest and Most Fun Educational Gifts for Kids
As the holidays quickly approach, I've been racking my brain trying to think of new and exciting gifts for my kiddos. While their lists are anything but short, I'm doing my best not to go overboard this Christmas like I have in years past. With four kids and number five on her way any second now (seriously, I'm 39 weeks and 5 days pregnant today, but who's counting, right? I'm not sure she's ever coming out!), it already feels like toys are taking over our home. ...Continue Reading

Reasons to Be Thankful Free Printable & A Giveaway!
*Be sure to check out the end of this post for a HUGE giveaway!** For as long as I can remember, Thanksgiving has been my favorite holiday. I love that it focuses on gratitude (and food!), and makes me reflect on what's really important. Despite anything negative that's happened in my life, I have been extremely blessed, but I don't always have the easiest time remembering that. Sometimes I get a little too wrapped up in all of the, "Why are these things happening?" thoughts to see any of ...Continue Reading
Intentional LivingHow to Organize your Time for Maximum Productivity (One Room Challenge, Week 4)
It's update day! We're in the fourth week of the One Room Challenge, which means there are only two weeks to go! Eek! I'll be honest... part of me is wondering what I was thinking taking on this huge project halfway through my third trimester. I guess seeing a fun home challenge while in serious nesting mode is too much for an expectant mama to resist. ...Continue Reading
Creating a Big Girl Butterfly Garden Bedroom (One Room Challenge, Week 3)
Okay, so when they say "One Room Challenge" they aren't kidding. Making the decisions for this room and writing this week's post have definitely been challenging! My daughter loves everything creative. She loves to draw, paint, and design so I knew I always wanted to include her in making decisions for her bedroom, but I think I made the mistake of presenting her with too many ideas. ...Continue Reading
Free Printable Thanksgiving Planner
My favorite time of year is finally in full swing! The air is cooler, leaves are changing, and the holidays are right around the corner. I thought what better way to prepare than with a free printable Thanksgiving planner? But first, I have a confession to make. I can be a bit of a procrastinator. I'll enthusiastically start something with the best of intentions only to get derailed and then nothing ends up happening. Unfortunately, this seems to happen more often than not, but this pattern ...Continue Reading
Big Girl Bedroom Makeover (One Room Challenge, Week 2)
This past Saturday, I shared my new (possibly crazy) idea of completely redoing my daughter's bedroom before baby #5 arrives in less than two months. There were lots of scary and unattractive pictures, which were hard to share, but at least they'll make the afters look better, I guess. My daughter's room is one long, narrow rectangle. It's around 10 1/2 by 29 feet with absolutely no storage. Fun times. It's technically what would be referred to as a "bonus room" because it's over the garage ...Continue Reading
