Amazon Try-on Husband’s 40th birthday edition

Lady — Wed, 27 Oct 2021 19:40:05 +0000

My husband’s 40th birthday is coming up this weekend and I asked you all for help on finding a cute outfit for a fun dinner/drinks out. Because I had limited time, I kept it exclusively to Amazon Prime options, and the try-on itself is saved to my highlights on Instagram, but you can find all of the options below, including the ones from a sweater try-on from a while back.

Which option is your fave?!

Our Halloween Costumes 2021 + Sources

Lady — Tue, 26 Oct 2021 16:43:05 +0000

For most of our Halloween years, we have done family Halloween costumes. But about three years ago the kids finally wanted to be their own thing but also wanted my husband and me to still dress up with them, and that is when we came up with the idea to “pair off.” Now, my husband, Bruce (our pup), and I each dress up with one of the kids each year and let them come up with the ideas. And we hope to continue to do this for as long as they want us to!

So this year we have…

Katniss Everdeen and Effie Trinket

An old man and his sweet lady

And King Kong and his giant banana

Below you will find the sources for everything, other than what I have listed at the very end.

Katniss- the bow and arrow we picked up at the Halloween store, but they can be found online

Old man- We found his entire outfit except for the mask at the thrift store.

As always, thank you for stopping by!

Our Laundry Room Refresh + Sources

Lady — Thu, 25 Mar 2021 01:07:03 +0000

Our laundry room has come a loooooooong way. It used to be an L-shaped room off of our kitchen and was pretty cramped. Because we had a formal dining room that we never used (it ended up being a catch-all room that was a complete eye-sore), we decided to turn that into our new laundry room and it would become a room we use daily

This has been our plan for the last couple of years and we have taken on different aspects of it when we could, which started with building the green lockers and creating a long desk area for when our kids needed to do homework. (Blog posts on that HERE and HERE.) Little did we know the next year would include them using it daily during quarantine, we were so thankful to have that space for them to do their school work. We never put anything permanent against the back wall because that is where we imagined our washer and dryer would go someday when we were officially able to turn it into our laundry room.

Fast-forward a couple of years and with the big kitchen remodel complete, we no longer had that little laundry room which meant it was time to finish out the mudroom/laundry room.

We started by extending the wall to this room so that we could build a big barn door to shut it off when we wanted to. With this room being in the middle of our main floor, we imagined it being open for the most part, but we wanted to be able to close the doors if needed when company comes over, or if the laundry got to be too loud.

Once that wall was finished, we ripped out the white carpet which I was SO grateful to see go, and we installed cement-looking tile which we have been SO happy with. To read all about it, you can go HERE. It was the easiest tile that required NO thinset!

Once that was in we started on the barn door, and this proved to be quite the project. The door is SO heavy and so big, and we learned a lot while making it, but my goodness, it was so worth the efforts. My husband was able to make my vision come to life and it is now a focal point of our home. I just love it so much. I saved how we did this to my Instagram highlight under “barn door” if you’d like to see the process in how he built it.

We then put another door on the entryway from the kitchen, and this room was complete.

We now use this room every single day for multiple reasons and it just makes me so happy that we were able to turn a room that used to be a catch-all into a functioning space.

Below are the links for everything linkable in the room.

As always, thanks for stopping by!

50+Popular Black Cabinet Hardware Options

Lady — Sun, 18 Oct 2020 05:08:54 +0000

We are smack-dab in the middle of our kitchen remodel and it’s time to narrow down what hardware we’d like for our kitchen cabinets. Because we have a mix of white and oak cabinets, we think black hardware will tie everything together nicely, plus give that contrast we are looking for.

I polled my Instagram buddies on what hardware they have tried and loved and have included as many of those as I could! I appreciate those of you that shared your beautiful homes with me and what you purchased for your own kitchens! Below is a compilation of more than 50 options for cabinets and drawers; I think we’ve got a winner in there somewhere for our own home and I hope you find this helpful if you, too, are on the hunt!

A couple of other great sites that I am unable to link to but that should still be noted are below!

Battlecreek Hardware

The Hardware Hut

I have a few samples on the way, and once we make a final decision I will be sure to update this post! As always, thank you for stopping by!

Our Kids’ Favorite Books

Lady — Wed, 16 Sep 2020 17:30:13 +0000

I shared not too long ago on Instagram how my oldest son grew a love for reading over the past year and how ever since he always seems to have a book in his hand. Many asked to know what books the kids have loved, so I gathered a list of their very favorites, or at least the ones I can remember! As the list grows, I will add to it, too!

Franklin (Appx ages 1-5 )

Chicka Chicka Boom Boom

The Very Hungry Caterpillar

Avengers 5 Minute Stories

Diary of a Wimpy Kid

Our oldest son didn’t find a love for reading until he was seven. He enjoyed being read to, for the most part, but reading anything on his own was a struggle. Until….. we started the Dogman series. He started reading one of these books daily (on his own!) and I was having a hard time getting books in his hands fast enough. He has since moved on to other series and will finish every book in the series before wanting to go to the next. I think it just takes finding the right books to spark that love!

Calvin: Ages 7-8 (these are the ages my child read the books, but I am sure would be enjoyed by a little younger and a little older, too, depending on reading level)

Dogman Series

Captain Underpants Series

Fly Guy Series

Super Diaper Baby Series
