Chicken Enchiladas with Roasted Corn and Poblanos from our Produce Co-Op
Hi strangers! I realize it's been ages since I've posted but since this blog is a hobby, sometimes real life has to take priority. That being said, we recently joined a local produce co-op and are blown away by the quality and prices of the produce they offer. Our bin...
Hiding Christmas Gifts with Ikea
Hello again! I've been a little out of pocket over the past few months due the passing of my amazing grandfather, my husband's unexpected hospitalization, me being ridiculously sick for a few weeks (I swear I caught Ebola and MRSA from the hospital #iknowiknow...
Halloween Decor & Lighting
Can you believe we're already into the holiday season?!?! I was at the mall a few days ago and saw Christmas wreaths hanging in Dillards. I had to do a double take because I was sure it was still September. It wasn't. It was totally October 4th; clearly, the...
Colorful Tween Bedroom Lighting
hile I was in the planning process of Avery's tween bedroom makeover, I was contacted by LEDVANCE to try out their SYLVANIA LIGHTIFY products. They couldn't have come at a better time. I knew I wanted to add a hanging light in her reading space but...

A LuLaRoe Birthday Party
I occasionally refer to one or two of my equally party obsessed friends when I’m sharing my own parties with you, but I have one friend, in particular, who really isn’t equally obsessed. She’s waaaay beyond. She lives for the thrill of pulling together over-the-top...
Vintage Shabby Chic Mad Hatter Tea Party
In effort to continue recycling birthday themes, we had tea party, round two this past weekend. While the original plan was to simply duplicate the original tea party from 7 years ago, as I began mentally preparing this party, I decided I wanted to add a little...
4th of July Party Ideas
I have to apologize for not posting in such a long time. We've been dealing with real life stuff that made blogging take a seat on the backburner of life. However, as we approach the 4th of July, I remembered I took photos of our crab boil last year and decided to...
An Easter Recipe Worth Sharing
I hope you had a lovely Easter! We had a super low-key Easter breakfast at home with my parents and one of the new recipes I tried was so good, I had to share it with you all! Actually, I'll share them all but we certainly had favorites. I said low-key but I...
