Family, Fun, Food, and Home Design
Planning and planting our vegetable garden is one of my favorite springtime activities. The benefit of living in Southern California is that I can garden all year long but there is something fun about warm weather vegetable gardens. Planning, planting, watching the progress, and eventually enjoying the output. It's so satisfying. Our property has a [...]
Our laundry room makeover is complete and the project that I'm most proud of has to be the DIY laundry shelf over the washer and dryer. When I was pulling together the design board for this room, I knew that I wanted something over the washer and dryer. We had already used that space as [...]
The laundry room is finally done and you guys, I am so beyond thrilled with how it turned out. Is it possible that the smallest room in our house is now my favorite space to be in? It all started with a post on Nesting with Grace about a $20 light she found. I literally [...]

When we bought this house, we knew that the original windows would need to be replaced. Other home improvement projects took priority, like rebuilding our dining room after a flood, but the windows were high priority. We knew the value of that project since we replaced the windows in our last home. It made such [...]
A couple of the product links below are affiliate links. My Christmas decorations are a hodgepodge of pieces I've had or collected over the years with a few new items mixed in. I love having familiar pieces mixed with a few new elements each year. We kept the decorations somewhat simple this year considering that [...]
We are not hosting Thanksgiving this year but I'm day dreaming of our Thanksgiving table from last year and all the good moments that were shared around it. It was simple yet festive. This was before starting my own blog had ever crossed my mind, I was pregnant with Little Nugget and loved my day [...]
