Small Bathroom Renovation How-To Videos
You may recall a few months ago when we helped our friends renovate their bathroom in about a week for $3000. It was a fun project that we did with Lowe's, and we absolutely love how it turned out. You can read about the project here, but this is what their bathroom looked like after […]

This post is sponsored by Loloi. Over the last couple months, we've been slowly giving our bedroom a makeover.

Willow has been acting off. We brought her into the vet and discovered she slipped a disc in her back. We got medication for her and have been trying to help her rest, per her doctor's orders, but she's still not acting like herself. It's so hard to know that something is wrong with your […]

Those holidays that change dates every year always seem to sneak up on me. The other day, I was in the Target Dollar spot with a friend and I said, "When is Easter anyway?!" A few seconds later, a young mom also shopping leaned over and said, "I just looked it up--April 1st!" We all burst […]

Stacked Art For Our Bedroom!
This post is sponsored by Artfully Walls. Our last bedroom was pretty amped up in the art department, with a whole sprawling gallery wall over our bed. As soon as we cleared the room, and painted the walls much lighter (Benjamin Moore's Olympic Mountain, read more about that here), we've been enjoying the much calmer, […]

Shopping For Stone For Our Bathroom (And What We Decided On!)
Confession: We've never shopped for stone for countertops--ever. It has always felt like this super expensive, intimidating process. But for our bathroom, we're trying to do a lot of things we haven't done before: hire a contractor, shop for stone, design a custom vanity--and it's exciting! The first task in picking out our stone was actually […]

This week, in my instagram stories, I showed off how we organize our toys in the playroom and after having these storage dressers for over a year--we still couldn't love them more.

After we adopted Willow, we added her portrait to our collection. I actually CRIED when I opened it and saw the paintings side by side, […]
