We've lived in our new home since last November and I hadn't quite gotten a handle on my closet until recently. It's a touch smaller than our last master closet, but we shared that one and my husband has his own closet now which is nice! My closet connects to our master bathroom and Kevin's is connected to the entryway of our bedroom. PLANNING ...

Breville Bambino Espresso Machine Review
I’ve raved about my Nespresso machine for years (and still love it!) but there’s a new love in our lives and it’s our Breville Bambino Plus Espresso machine (also on amazon, where we purchased ours, here). We purchased it before we moved into our new home last November and it’s our weekend latte go-to. (floating shelf sources ...
Spring Home Decor Finds
Being at home 24/7 has led me to scour the internet for items to enhance and complete our spaces. I put our entryway wallpaper install as well as some curtain installs on hold, so I'm trying to find small things to add a little cheer to our spaces before we can get to some of our larger projects. I recently purchased new pillows for some of our ...
How to Stay (Somewhat) Sane While Social Distancing + Working from Home
Social distancing is absolutely the right thing to do - but that doesn't mean it's easy. I'm an extrovert and thrive on interacting with others and routine, so being home 24/7 is challenging in some ways. However, we're trying to make the best of it. This post is geared towards parents who work full-time outside of the home and are now faced with ...
More Kids Activities While Social Distancing & In Quarantine
Last week was our kids' Spring break, so while we were at home 24/7, we didn't really have structure in our days because we wanted them to have fun. Now that Kevin and I are both working full time from home, we need to find ways to keep our kids engaged and entertained, while also having scheduled chunks of their day devoted to the ...

The space finally feels close to complete - and the timing couldn't be better with our family at home for the foreseeable future. This is a room we use for so many things: the ...
DIY Painted Wavy Bowls
I came upon some plastic gold wavy bowls on amazon a few months ago and they immediately reminded me of the shape of my beloved Susan Gordon Pottery wavy bowls (I have and LOVE this one). I didn't love the gold look, so I purchased some spray paint to see if I could make them look the way I wanted them to. The shape and sizes were ...
My Favorite Laundry Products
Laundry is something we all need to do and though I love actually putting the laundry in the washer and dryer, separating it all and putting it away is another story. I have quite a large assortment of laundry detergents, so I thought I’d put together a post of my favorites – and how and why I use them. Rolling laundry basket We keep ours in ...
How to Organize Your Pantry in An Hour (Or Less!)
Last weekend, I finally took on the task of cleaning out and organizing our pantry, which admittedly became a catchall after our November move. Out of sight, out of mind, right? Though I’m thankful I was able to keep the mess behind closed doors for months, it also felt like time to give the pantry the de-clutter and focus it deserved. It can ...
Friday Five
Happy Friday! Lets get started! CAN’T STOP LISTENING TO… The Thousandth Floor series by Katharine McGee (who is a fellow Houstonian!) I’m on the third and final book in the series and just love it. These are totally YA novels – kind of like Gossip Girl set 100 years in the future – so if you’re into that, this is the series for you. I may be a ...
