We haven’t done any big changes lately but I’ve been finding new decor and have done a little bit of painting which is fun! So here is a little gallery of new things I’ve incorporated into our home over the past year :)

This was something I saw on Pinterest that really caught my attention. And as someone with pounds of beads and no reason to own that many, I love any inspiration that will put them to good use! I didn’t really know how to best approach this idea (or if I would even enjoy having a sparkly spider hanging around) but I kept on going and now it might be one of my favorite creations in a long time.

I’ve been on a kick of viewing nature as God’s decor all around us and what a thing to search and preserve for things I can use in our home too.

I love a good quote. I love a good saying. I don’t know what it is, but maybe it’s because people have such a beautiful way to say so much in just a short sentence. I’m a chronic over-sharer and over-explainer so seeing a short quote that says so much is a beautiful form of art to me.

A visual aid into what I’m looking forward to for the next year.

I was walking through the antique mall and saw a booth with some miniature birdhouses covered in birdseed and I absolutely loved them!! I figured it should be easy enough to replicate and give one as a Christmas gift to my grandparents - and you guys, it was soo easy and so fun to do.. and messy !!

This year’s Christmas decor felt a little unhinged.. and I quite liked that. I don’t feel like our style was easily defined. It blended the earthy moody-ness of our home with the 90s nostalgia Christmas feel.

I remember my moms sloppy joes back in the day. Usually ground beef with a sloppy tomato sauce on white buns and a side of mac n cheese. Although I love those, I’m really really happy to have a healthy and equally as tasty version.

It only takes 3 ingredients and you can add it to so many things like cocktails, coffee drinks, dessert toppings, etc!

Perfectly refreshing & perfectly fall. This white wine sangria is full of fall flavors like apple, pear and cinnamon. Best paired with a breezy and sunny patio!

It’s packed with so many fall flavors like cranberries, apples, roasted sweet potatoes, and lots more. The key player here is the Boar’s Head turkey. I urge you to find your closest Boar’s Head deli (we have ours in Kroger)…

Welcome welcome! Our home is fully decked out for halloween right now and I’m so excited to showcase it all here for you!! This is our 3rd year of decorating and it’s so fun to see how much things progess and grow over the years.

I’m new to coffee and espresso. I’ve always disliked it but something has finally clicked with me in the last year and now I own an espresso machine and crave that first cup of brewed coffee in the morning.

Nothing screams fall like a pairing of maple syrup, cinnamon and walnuts. And since I’ve been loving granola lately, I thought this fun and simple recipe would be a great way to ease into my autumn mood.

My French obsession is still ever-growing. Binging all of Emily in Paris over the winter started something I didn’t know about myself. After learning to make coq au vin, cutting my hair into a French bob, and attempting to learn French on Duolingo.. I’m now expanding into a French 75 cocktail.

We loooove mexican food but sometimes it can be a bit heavy or calorie dense. This recipe is perfectly light while maintaining that classic comfort-food feeling.

Fitness is somewhat of a new concept to me. I was never the girl in sports, I didn’t watch it, play it, or understand it. Fitness and working out wasn’t a natural thing for me. But overtime, I’ve allowed myself to reshape my idea of it and give it a new meaning. I let go of the “standards” I thought I had to live by in order to work out.

Some people think soup season is in the fall but lets be serious, a rainy and chilly spring day calls for a bright yet warm bowl of soup too. This spring green minestrone is so clean and fresh but warms your core at the same time.

I’ve been really into the idea of mixing natural elements and hinting at a Spanish modern aesthetic. My dream is having a marble-esque counter on the middle island and dark butcher block around the perimeter. I want to reface our existing cabinets with classic shaker doors, all painted in a creamy off-white.
