Keeping a clean and clutter-free home is important to me. Though I don’t always accomplish this goal, I have a lot of tools and strategies that help us stay on top of things (caveat: most of the time). Since Kevin and I both work full time outside of the home, have two children, run this blog and have a slew of other home-related responsibilities, ...

Master Bedroom Update and Design Boards with Oyster Creek Studios
It’s a pretty great day when you open your inbox to find design boards from Aryn at Oyster Creek Studios. Rewind to earlier this summer – I hired Aryn to help me with our master bedroom. It has always been the most neglected space in our home and I was ready to have the grown-up, completed bedroom of my dreams instead of a room that constantly felt ...
Home Updates
Lately I’ve been so determined to finish spaces in our home that it’s all I can think about! Other than the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale, I haven’t been browsing clothing much…I’m all about home décor sites at the moment. I’m currently getting quotes to shiplap a wall of our master bath (more on that later) and to replace our home’s stairs leading ...
Friday Five
I feel like I haven’t done a real Friday Five in forever – but I pulled it together this week to get some updates going. O N E I shared on stories recently that I’m going to be working with an interior designer on our master bedroom. I can’t truly say I’ve ever loved our master bedroom in any of our three homes. It’s always the space that gets ...
6 Steps to Spring-Clean Your Bathroom
This is a sponsored conversation written by me on behalf of Charmin. The opinions and text are all mine. As soon as it’s sunny out and it starts to get warmer, I get the Spring cleaning itch – like clockwork, it hits me hard every single year. One of my favorite places to tackle is our master bathroom. With all of the products I use ...
Our Playroom Reveal!
When we were house-hunting while I was pregnant with Lincoln, one thing that really sold us on our current home is that we’d have a dedicated play space. When we toured the model, we couldn’t believe how large the game room/play room/bonus room was. Though it has slanted ceilings since it’s technically a finished attic, it has a ton of natural ...
Moving to Houston? Consider this Beautiful Community
This post is sponsored by Bridgeland, all thoughts and opinions are, as always, my own. Over the years, I’ve gotten quite an abundance of emails and messages about moving to Houston from many of my wonderful readers. As you all know, I moved to Houston in 2007 after having lived in a suburb of Toronto, Canada for 20 years of my life. To say it was ...
Spring Home Decor Finds You’ll Love!
I started browsing T.J.Maxx's new home decor arrivals at 9 p.m. last night and that was a big mistake (even though I loved every second of it!) Not only did I find way too much stuff I love (#addtocart) but I knew I had to share these finds with y'all so here I am, staying up late to finish this post -- but I promise it's worth it! By the way, this ...

Friday Five
Happy Friday -- hope you enjoy today's five! O N E I’ve had some IKEA frames purchased for months with the intention of creating a gallery wall in our upstairs hallway. It will be all family photos, so it feels like a great fit to have it in the hall where all of our bedrooms are. The idea of hanging a gallery wall can be super intimidating with ...
