SIMI’S BIG BOY ROOM | KOALA BED
If you’ve been around here for more than five minutes, you already know one thing about our house: every room has to multitask. We don’t have a sprawling floor plan with extra guest suites sitting empty. What we do have is a small home filled with a lot of life and a...
PANTRY MAKEOVER
Who went through their pantries for the new year to purge and clean out all the junk and make room for all the healthy snacks we found at Trader Joes? Well, it started out this way but then I decided to tear out the entire pantry and remake another one. I’ve had this...
GIRLS ROOM REFRESH
Another little girls room refresh coming at ya! I know what you're thinking, isn't this your 4 time refreshing this room? And the answer is yes, BUT the girls are growing and I had to create a space to accommodate both their different and growing personalities....
DIY ARCHED BUNK BED | Birthday Gift
Pia asked for three things for her birthday, a bunk bed, to go out to dinner somewhere nicer than McDonalds, and to have her face smashed into a smiley face cake. I'll never forget birthday number six, that's for sure. She asked for a bunkbed years ago, but I was...
MASTER BEDROOM REFRESH
When Matthew and I moved in, we were broke as a joke, and fortunately (but unfortunately) the previous owners left their master bedroom furniture behind. After 6 years we finally switched it out. In doing so, a spiral of remodeling ideas came to play. We finally...
3 DAY JUICE CLEANSE
Every holiday, we over indulge on all the good things and I'm not mad at it. Food makes me happy and that's that. However, in order for my body to function the way I'd like it to, I need to cleanse some of those happy indulgences out of my body twice a year… sometimes...
FUN GIFT IDEAS | STOCKING STUFFERS
Growing up my mom would find the most unique, fun, but useful stocking stocking stuffers. It was one of the things I looked forward to most during the holidays. I wanted to gift the same excitement by wrangling up some fun unique and incredibly useful stuff to add to...
LAST MINUTE COSTUMES | DADDY DAUGHTER EDITION
I love a good DIY costume like this one, or this one, and especially this one. BUT there's also so much joy in buying one online and your kids lighting up with all the frilly extra-ness of the costume. I know in their pre-teen age, the kids will start to push back on...
DIY LOOFAH COSTUME | ROUND 2
I don't know why, but I feel the need to DIY all the kid's Halloween costumes until they don't let me anymore. This Loofah Costume I made for Pia 5 years ago is STILL asked about so I had to make a quick little DIY video for you and update ya'll with some detailed...
Unique Girls Room Refresh
This may come as a shock to you (or not) that this is my 3rd time changing this room up. But this time, I really wanted it to feel a little less like a pinterest kids room, but THEIR room. Since the girls share this room, I wanted to personalize to make it specially...
