My Best Amazon Finds 2020

Like everyone else in the world, Amazon became my BFF this year for a LOT of purchases. I shopped Amazon for home organization, dresses, even food. I went through my (very, very long) order history to pick out the items we most use. These are the best things we bought this year on Amazon! You can find ALL of my "best of" picks on my Amazon Storefront here. The best kids' stuff I bought on Amazon this year Alphabet puzzle: With a 3 year old in the house, we sing a lot of the ABCs.

Our Painted Interior Doors

September 23, 2020

Our Painted Interior Doors

When we were picking out paint during the renovation, I used Pinterest a LOT. (I highly recommend looking on Pinterest to see how various rooms look with a single paint color! Just search for "(paint color) living room" for example. I kept coming across painted interior doors, which I hadn't really considered. But I really liked the look and decided that if we got sick of it, we could just paint them back to white. Easy! I took this ^ photo when I was working on deciding the final colors for …

Planning E’s Big Girl Bedroom

We're finishing the process of putting together a big girl bedroom for our little miss, so today I'm sharing the mood board and some of my thoughts about this new big girl room! When we moved back into the house after our big renovation, we thought we would be finishing some inside details in the near future.

Pool Safety with a Toddler

We have had a pool for about 10 years, and I never thought much about extra safety beyond fencing - until E became a water bug. Since starting swim classes about a year ago, E got a lot more comfortable in a pool. Now she LOVES the water. E’s tutu swimsuit is by this brand We were concerned about having an open pool + a very active toddler + a new baby, so we did a lot of research on pool safety. Here’s how we approach pool safety with a …

Backyard Cafe Lights

Backyard Cafe Lights

We've done a ton of work to the yard over the years we have been here. While I think some of it shows, not everyone appreciates the number of truckloads of dirt we moved around just to make the grass greener a couple of years ago. (For real though, we had to put new dirt all around the yard to then put grass seed all around the yard...) And no one sees the hours you spend Saturday after Saturday to mulch or add colorful plants! Even though it's a small change, I'm so excited that we put …
