Affordable Backyard Refresh
It’s almost the Fourth of July! As the holiday approaches and the temperature in Tennessee continues to rise, it seems like the perfect time for a little backyard refresh. When we purchased the house, there was an old spot where a fire pit had obviously been. There was no ring, but there were remnants ofContinue reading “Affordable Backyard Refresh”
Storage Closet Turned Office Nook
As I mentioned in last week’s blog post, our new house has an office for Jake and a designated playroom area for little man, but there wasn’t a clear space just for me. When Jake realized that I didn’t have my own designated space, he was concerned and wanted me to have a place toContinue reading “Storage Closet Turned Office Nook”
Thrifted & DIY Chair Upgrade
If you follow me on social media, you know that the past few months have been a total whirlwind. I’ve changed jobs, we bought a house, are DIY-ing our way through a fairly significant refresh or remodel of the house, and Jake proposed a couple weekends ago. It’s been BUSY over here, y’all.

Hot Wheels Backyard Birthday Bash
Okay, fellow momma hens…! Who can relate? MY BABY IS GROWING UP TOO FAST! I am SO shocked at how BIG my little one is. He turns three today, and I canNOT believe that the gummy-bear-looking baby from my sonograms is now a small child. Where did my baby go? I didn’t believe my ownContinue reading “Hot Wheels Backyard Birthday Bash”
Mexican Rice Bowls
I’ve been making these Mexican Rice Bowls for dinner often for over a year now – and I have no idea why I haven’t shared my super easy recipe! If you follow me on Instagram and Facebook (and you should), you may have even seen these featured in a photo post, but I haven’t everContinue reading “Mexican Rice Bowls”
Pizza Crescent Rolls
We are a pizza roll family in my house. Maybe it’s because Jake and I are both 90’s kids and they’re nostalgic – or maybe it’s because we’re snack-lovin’ people… But no matter what the cause is, we’re a snacking crew when it comes to streaming shows or watching a game, and my easy crescentContinue reading “Pizza Crescent Rolls”
Front Porch Refresh
The new house is continually being worked on and improved, and I’m so so happy. It just feels like HOME. Pretend I’ve inserted a heart-eyed emoji here, y’all – that’s how in love this millennial is with her little brick basement ranch. We have little man’s birthday party coming up soon – like, in lessContinue reading “Front Porch Refresh”
