I know most people think of apple pie as a fall thing…but I make them all throughout the year because my recipe is so darn good. I mean, seriously it is. It even won 1st place at a contest a few years back!
If I’m making you hungry, here’s the recipe!
Read MoreT-minus two weeks until we no longer have a kitchen in our home!! We’ve already begun emptying cabinet and the boys ripped out the built-in buffet a few days ago. I’m not gonna lie, I’m CRAZY excited…but I’m mega freaking out at the idea of having all the kids home during summer and not knowing when we’ll have a working kitchen again since a large portion of our cabinets are backordered.
BUT…Gahhhh….I’m here for it.
If you’ve ever been to my home…or followed me on Instagram for very long, you’ll know how much I loooooove our hanging chair. In fact, our family has coined it, “Mama Bird’s Roost” because I can always be found snuggled up in it reading.
Although (sadly) ours isn’t sold anymore, I thought I’d share some other favorites that ARE available! They come in varying price points so if you want to cry because the one you love breaks the bank…just keep looking! You’ll find a great one even without a massive budget.
Here are 12 REALLY cute ones…and one that LOOKS like a hanging chair, but isn’t!
Read MoreWe surprised our kids at school with a new Silver Lab puppy and have been drooling over ALLL the cute puppy items out there! So, I thought I’d share some of my favorites for any of you who need puppy or dog supplies, too!
But before heading to the inspo and start shopping through the links, I’m going to bombard you with darling puppy photos and a quick little video (that I know will make you puppy-lovers smile).
Read MoreWe’ve lived in our current home for six years and have basically just put lipstick on the pig. We’ve painted, redone some of the floors, put in some new light fixtures. You know, easy-ish stuff.
We’ve been patiently (read: me NOT so patiently) awaiting the time when we could start ripping things out and truly getting our hands dirty.
Now is FINALLY the time! (cue the crowd screaming or me making weird fake-crowd noises with my mouth). We start mid-June! Check out this post for SCARY BEFORE PHOTOS, access to our Pinterest board, and make sure you keep checking back for loads of inspiration!
I’ve had my left ear triple-pierced since college and have always loved wearing the teeniest of studs in them. Lately, though, I’ve found a bunch of darling tiny hoops + other styles on Amazon that I love mixing and matching.
Thought I’d share some of my favorites (and some I’m totally buying next)!!
Read MoreThis is one of my FAVORITE healthy breakfasts + takes just 5 mins to make!
Wach the video for seriously simple directions and find links to where I buy some of the ingredients!
Read MoreI thought it’d be fun to share some of the things I can’t live without right now. Aren’t you thankful for items that can be purchased online? It used to be a time-saver…now it’s basically a life-saver.
Read MoreA few years ago when one of our kids left us for six months, I was too devastated to turn on the TV. I couldn’t handle anything with the tiniest amount of drama. I couldn’t handle any more anxiety. Life was too hard and I needed nice. Simple. Happy. Even predictability.
Instead, I got into the habit of reading fun, beach-read type books every night before bed. Maybe you’re feeling anxiety because of all that’s going on right now…or perhaps you just feel like you’ve watched (and re-watched) everything good on Netflix.
Either way, I really recommend these fun books! But if you stay up too late because you just can’t put it down, then for that I’m sorry (not sorry). Wink.
Read MoreWe’ve all grown up knowing we need to get out there and make a difference in the world by serving others. But now making a difference + serving others remains within the boundaries of our homes. The more I thought about it though, the more I’ve realized there are LOTS of ways we can still love on our neighbors from home, but it needs to first start with this…
Read MoreI keep seeing hilarious memes about how we’re all home amidst the COVID-19 pandemic and have been wearing pj’s for seven days straight (I think? I don’t know what day it is, so I’m not entirely sure). And then there’s the post that goes something like: If you’re wearing jeans…what are you trying to prove? (admittedly I did laugh at that one)
And though I’m not click-clacking through the house in stilettos these days, most mornings I’m still getting dressed. Why? Let me tell you. Because you might want to start, too…
Read MoreWhether you’ve come before or this your first time hearing of it, know that our heart is for pouring into YOU as well as the organization we’re partnering with. We’re all a bit exhausted and tapped-out, right? Well, let us replenish you…because you can’t pour from an empty cup!
