We are slowly but surely setting up house here in the new place, and I was so excited to partner with Article furniture to help add a few more simple, funky, mid-century modern vibes to the space! The design is so unique and appealing, and the price points are quite reasonable for the value and […]

We are making progress on the shed-turned-playhouse for the girls, and today we made a few updates: the arrival of some fun cement tiles and vertical shiplap that will be painted pink! The girls wanted to pick the colors, so a few weeks ago I let them choose between a few black and white cement […]

Finally. Spring is here after what felt like the longest winter (or was it just the longest 2020?) ever in history. Seeing the flowers bloom and the weather improve gives me a little more hope in my soul! We wanted to grab some family pics in downtown Tulsa to celebrate our recent city relocation, and […]

Decorated the living room’s fireplace mantel today with a few pieces of simple, modern art, a funky lamp and a few of my little plant babies. Normally the mantel is my least favorite thing to decorate, because I’ve never been great at it (in my opinion), but I had fun playing today in stories [HERE]! […]

This week on IG stories [HERE], I polled my pro plant people about the elusive fiddle leaf fig. And there were big feelings. You see, the ol’ fiddle is one of those plants that I’ve heard is better to just buy fake than try to care for the real deal as they are fickle, temperamental […]

Today on my IG stories [HERE], my friend Hava from @onlygirl4boyz and I did a fun try on together! We wanted to show some pretty (and pretty inexpensive) dresses to get ready for spring or maybe for Easter, and we thought it might be helpful to see the same dress styled on two different body […]

Hi all, and happy almost-Easter! In our home, we try to keep focus on the main reason for certain holidays like Christmas and Easter, but it is also so much fun to participate in the celebratory traditions with our kiddos, too! We haven’t really done much with the Easter Bunny (although somehow Santa is alive […]

Hi, friends! Today over on IG stories (HERE), I put together a small Old Navy spring capsule wardrobe to demonstrate how to gather seasonal items that will mix and match together to make a plethora of outfits! While you definitely do not need to buy all new clothes (or any maybe!) to create your own […]

Recently I polled my awesome Instagram community (join us HERE!) on their very favorite podcasts in 7 different categories: pop culture, news, tru crime, comedy, faith/self-help, kids and honorable mentions. After combing through THOUSANDS of submissions, here is the top 70 podcast recs menu for your next listen! Now. I will admit that I am […]

The sun is (mostly) shining, the birds are chirping, I spy some green on the ground and up in the trees…spring is here! It never feels like we’re gonna make it through that last winter push, but here we are on the other side and I’m ready for some spring style. I put together 8 […]

Hi, friends! I wanted to try out some new polish colors for spring, so I thought I’d share. My favorite brand is Essie (not sponsored, just love it), and I like the gel version. You don’t actually need an LED light though; you just get the glossy finish like a gel manicure without a trip […]

Thanks to you guys for sending in ideas over on my Instagram stories last week! I’m a little stumped on how to make over THIS old shed space for the girls to use as their playhouse, so I appreciated the help! I rounded up some of your playhouse design inspiration ideas along with some inspo […]

One of the things the girls were most excited about regarding the new house was this little shed out back. It’s already pink inside, so they thought it was meant to be, ha! Since our home has dedicated office space (and since I usually just sit on my bed to work anyway), we decided this […]

Eleven years ago today, my dad took his life after a long struggle with mental instability and depression. His favorite flower was the tulip, so each year I set some out to remember. Only lately have income to learn more about this little flower, the tulip, and I am always moved to tears by the […]

This is the laundry room at the new house, and while I haven’t really done much in here in the way of styling, I’m very grateful for the space and storage in this room. The lady who designed the home did a great job! With 4 busy kiddos in this house, I think I spend […]

Hi friends! Thought I’d share some ideas I’ve got running through my head for the new house. Trying not to rush things just to fill it up so I can take a pretty picture for Instagram. Isn’t that kind of a weird thing to even think about? Our social media-driven life can be so weird […]

*this post is sponsored by Ritual, and, after trying the product for many months, I’m ready to give a review for ya! Thanks for supporting the brands that help support the blog. 🙂 Howdy, friends!  Writing today to give you some feedback on a product I’ve been trying out for quite a few months now […]

I started my day laying in bed saying specific prayers over each of my kids and for myself as I prepared to jump into another week filled with unexpected virtual school, unusually extra cold temperatures, frozen water pipes and a stir crazy family who’d been cooped up inside for far too long with dangerously low […]

Valentine’s Day is going to look a little different for us all this year. If you are trying to figure out what to do with your family, I’ve made a list of fun (and simple!) activities and projects we have done in the past and I’m sure will do again! From sweet (GF) treats to easy […]

If you’re looking for a few Valentine’s Day non-food treats for kids, I’ve rounded up some sweet little goodies that will bring a smile! Since two of our girlies were diagnosed with Celiac, we are always looking for non-food gift ideas around the holidays. Between books, stuffed animals, games and bath fizzies, there’s something for […]

Since we probably aren’t going to be out and about much for Valentine’s Day (or any other date night for awhile, it seems), we might as well go with the flow and get into the at-home date nights! If I’m being honest, my pajama game could use a boost as it currently consists of mostly […]

If you’ve ever wondered what there is to do in Tulsa, we have some ideas! We went for a romantic staycation in Tulsa organized by Taylor Tate and generously sponsored by the local businesses mentioned below. We just moved into Tulsa from an area suburb, and this was such a fun way to start further […]

Every December, I feel like it’s a mad dash to squeeze in all the Christmas movies that we can, and even then, I always forget about a few classics! This year, we put together a Christmas movie menu organized by mood or watcher groups, and we also included where to stream, watch or download! We’ve […]

I am aching to travel. Like, big time. I think that’s one of the things I’ve missed most about 2020 is looking forward to and planning for trips with my family. The girls took their first plane rides last year, and we were so hoping to continue exploring the world with them this year. Alas, […]

Finally, FINALLY remembered to do Christmas card pics this year after forgetting the past few and kicking myself later. But this year, we did it! And I had so much fun planning out our family Christmas outfit ideas! (Here’s another family matching idea, too!) Not to be a diva, but I usually start with what […]

**NOTE: if there are only a few or zero items on the wish list, that is GOOD NEWS! That means the wish list has almost been fulfilled or maybe it has been totally completed! I’m updated the post throughout the day as I can! A few weeks ago, sweet people from my Instagram community submitted […]

While I utilize Target and Amazon Prime as much as the next gal, there is just something created by a small shop maker that feels unique, special and thoughtful if it’s being purchased as a gift. Over the last couple of years on IG, I’ve been able to connect with such a an amazing group […]

One of my favorite stores is having a pretty epic sale if you sign up to be an “insider,” which is just your email, etc. You get a birthday gift, free shipping and all kinds of other fun perks for free! Anyway, if you sign up, check out my favorite items from Madewell below, most […]

*This post is sponsored by Rubbermaid® – thank you for supporting the brands that support this blog! I’m getting into the holiday spirit, and cupcakes are never a bad idea…especially these cute Christmas wreath cupcakes! I used to bake and decorate wedding cakes, birthday cakes, and holiday cookies to help my hubby get through pharmacy […]

Hey guys! Things look so different this year, and when I was thinking about creating a few gift guides for the holiday season, I thought I’d come at it in a different way. While my favorite gifts to give and receive are experiences together, that can’t happen as much this year, so instead, I rounded […]

One of my favorite things to do is put together examples of capsule wardrobes to both demonstrate how having a smaller amount of your favorite items in your closet can still result in a wide range of outfits that all go together and can be mixed and matched! This Christmas holiday capsule is full of […]

Anyone else getting a little (or a LOT) stir crazy staying home so much more this year? We have been feeling the need to bust out of the same 4 walls we’re always looking at, so we decided to rent a local-ish Airbnb for a drive-able and safe family getaway. My BIL recommended a place […]
