  • Washable rugs…

    Washable rugs…

    I don’t know about your house, but in our house, we go through rugs like crazy! Between the kids, our dog & bird, we regularly purchase area rugs, runners, doormats, etc. For the living room, it’s about 3 a year. And as our dog gets older, I hate that we’re going through them so fast–not…

  • This Stay-at-home mom is looking to go back to work!

    Summer is halfway over and it’s just crazy! With my kids starting 1st & 4th grade, I’m officially lost. With my daughter in kindergarten last year, I felt a bit like I was entering a mid-life crisis (even if I’m not yet mid-life!). I’m not needed 24/7 anymore! The day to day gets boring quickly–you…

  • It’s ok to not always be insta-worthy…

    Lately, I’ve been quite frustrated with Instagram. I follow a lot of home decor/renovation accounts & with their new suggested content, it’s all I’m seeing all the time. But, I have a big problem with that. If you go by what you see on Instagram alone, everyone has these grand homes that are always clean…

  • Anyone else in a constant state or remodeling?

    Anyone else in a constant state or remodeling?

    Throughout the pandemic, to keep busy, I’ve moved from one project to another in our house. I feel like I’m still doing it! It’s both a way for me to release stress & just keep busy. My last project was our mudroom/laundry room. Currently starting my kids’ bathroom and will update when that’s complete. For…

  • i stopped wearing my apple watch…

    I’ve been wearing my Apple Watch every day for the last 3+ years and this week, I took it off. When I first got it, I thought it was great–I’m notoriously known for leaving my phone everywhere & hard to get a hold of. So, the watch was the perfect solution. People could get in…

  • So…

    Life has changed drastically since I last wrote! 2020 started out ok, then the pandemic hit. Life as we know it got flipped upside down. My kids & husband were now just always around…still are. Our social lives completely changed–all the family get-togethers stopped. My son’s ABA went completely virtual, then ended. Life was crazy,…

  • How to be content with what you have…

    This is something I struggle with on a daily basis. But, it’s complicated. I love my family completely–I wouldn’t change a thing about them. What I’m talking about is material possessions. I feel like with so much social media, all we see are things we should have, want or strive for. We should aim for…

  • My review for the LG A9 CordZero Ultimate…

    I was asked to become an Insider a few months ago to test new products & write reviews. I’m not really a blogger who constantly writes reviews, but when I was given the opportunity to test a new vacuum, well… let’s just say this mom loves vacuums! And because I love them so much &…

  • Sooooo ready for summer…

    Sooooo ready for summer…

    Our whole house–seriously, summer can’t come soon enough!! My son is ready for school to be over & getting him up in the mornings is getting to be more of a chore. My daughter is eagerly waiting for the beach. I’m just ready for a break from the daily grind. We planted our flowers weeks…

  • Vacation!

    Vacation!

    It’s been a week since we got back from vacation & I still feel like I haven’t adjusted! We took the kids to Legoland in Florida, stayed at the Legoland beach resort…basically went all out so that Dex & Piper could have a blast. The kids loved it, and while my husband & I had…
