If you peek into my garage or attic, you'll find multiple bins filled to the brim with decorations. I love decorating for every occasion, holiday, and season. It's no surprise that Halloween is included in the mix, and when it comes to Halloween decorations, I have my fair share. I’ve always felt that there was something missing... until now. I'm sharing how this year, we're … [Read more...]
How To Make Homework Time Easier
This post was sponsored by Philips Hue. The opinions expressed herein are mine and are not indicative of the opinions of Philips Hue.

Those messes end up on every surface of my home including the place that is supposed to clean us the shower. One would think the shower would be self-cleaning because it's used multiple times a day and water and … [Read more...]
My Lawn. What I Forgot To Think About… #LiveLifeOutside
When we moved into our new home this past April I almost instantly fell in love with it for the yard alone! Our old place didn't have much of a backyard... only about 5 feet of grass at all. But the new yard, oh my gosh, heaven! So much grass, so much play space. We don't have a fence but still, they can run around and have fun on the grass and that's all that mattered, right? … [Read more...]

You're slaving away cooking meal after meal so the last thing you want to do is … [Read more...]
