It’s deep cleaning time! I am always so energized to get going this time of the year. I am a huge purger and have no problem getting rid of things. My husband used to be really bad at it and would keep everything. And worse yet, he was that person that just shoved things in drawers out of sight and out of mind.

I am happy to report I have converted him! He so appreciates a decluttered home and is the first one to load up a box for donation! 

What about you all? Are you purgers or do you like to hold onto things in case you need it one day?

Wallpaper! You either love it or hate it. Me? I’ Wallpaper! You either love it or hate it. Me? I’m in love. Josie’s room is one of my favorite spots in our house (I know I say that a lot 🤷🏻‍♀️) but look how sweet it is. When you’ve been a boy mom forever and you finally get a girl, you embrace it! 

I’ve been thinking about wallpaper for my entryway. 🤫Do not tell my husband. He’s one of the “hate it” people when it comes to wallpaper. 

Have any of you tried the new “temporary” wallpaper. The peel and stick kind? Is it good? What are your thoughts? Josie’s room is done in good old fashioned pre-pasted wallpaper but I’ve heard there’s a better way?

I’ve been contemplating painting it white. The brick are faux and I could do a distressed white. My husband likes the grey. I don’t hate the grey and wouldn’t mind not having yet another project to do but what do you think? 

Grey or white?

Want to know a secret? I toss 90% of what comes home in my kid's valentine's box because it's just not useful. I am tired of wasting money on things that are going to get tossed out. I also am not a huge fan of candy as you never know what the allergies are in the classroom. 

Go with some of these fun ideas that are sure to be a crown pleaser and will likely survive the "big purge" as kids bring their boxes home.

Well, we decided to literally get a horse trough for the kids. It’s obviously super durable and will last us forever! We figured when the kids are done with it we can repurpose it into a raised garden bed or something. 
Anyone have any tips on keeping it clean? I’ve heard of tablets or even a little floating filter? Don’t want to spend a ton of money but would love to not have to change out the water every few days! Would love some advice in the comments... #diypool #countryliving #horsetrough #horsetroughpool #staycation2020 #backyardfun

I’ve been a little absent lately. Actually, I th I’ve been a little absent lately. Actually, I think “absent” isn’t the best word. I’ve been elsewhere. When the protests across the nation began I found myself engulfed in the issues that are facing our nation. I’ve been reading, speaking, talking with family and friends and most importantly, I’ve been listening. 
Certain things have felt trivial to me and I just didn’t feel like posting or updating my blog. Then a friend of mine said to me “maybe that’s just what people need”. And I thought you’re right. 
While I continue the fight for black lives in our country I will remind myself that we can’t shut down. 
My poppies are blooming which is a wonderful reminder of peace and rest. If you don’t know poppies have long stood for peace after death. They are used in remembrance of veterans and for family members that have passed. My husband has a poppy tattoo on his arm to remember our baby we lost in pregnancy.  My poppies give me peace today as I remember Ana’s words from Frozen II (yes, I’m quoting FROZEN) “Do the next right thing”. #poppies #justdotherightthing #frozen2 #justkeepswimming #keepfighting #wemustgoon #fightforwhatsright
