Girl Mom * Wife * Jesus * Design * Oils
I saw her- a woman I aspired to be like. In a white Yukon XL, dressed in the latest fashion trends (whatever they were back then), shiny blonde hair in a ponytail. She was pretty, put together, obviously had money, with a car full of kids in the back. As I drove by her in […]
I definitely am overdue on this blog post! It’s been a while since I’ve updated you all on the back addition- so here is your update! So, electrical is all done! I had to figure out where I wanted lights, can lights, how many can lights to do, outlets, etc. Lots of little decisions! We […]
Photography Source She hates me and I don’t know why. For real though. Maybe you think I should use the words “irritated by”, “dislikes” or something more like “not a fan of” or “allergic to”. You might be thinking I’m being dramatic and exaggerating. But no, drama is really not my thing and while I […]
Hello friends! Happy July 1st!! I feel like I am finally in the groove of summer- it always takes me a while to get used to the new norm. Brielle played her last softball game last week and Jayde has her last softball tournament this weekend. After that, we are activity free for the rest […]
One hundred degrees – too hot for anything, even the pool in my opinion.

You all! I am SOOOOOOO excited about this easy diy!! For literally 10 years I have disliked our granite countertops. Nothing necessarily wrong with them, just not my style. A few years ago we swapped out our granite countertops for quartz countertops in the kitchen- go HERE to see that post – and have been […]
Hello! Happy Thursday!! How is your summer going so far?! The last few weeks have kind of been a whirl wind around here- birthdays, parties, softball, guests and lots and lots of construction and noise. This week Jayde started driver’s ed. I mean, I don’t know how I’m old enough to have a child in […]
Starting June 1st, we are starting a reset challenge! This reset challenge is about taking care of you- moving your body, drinking water, eating clean and incorporating Ningxa Red, our wellness drink, into your everyday life for 2 weeks! I am in the middle of a reset challenge right now but am planning on starting […]
Should I stay or should I go?? You might know this song from The Clash and while it’s a great song- it’s also a question Matt and I have asked ourselves over the years. Almost ten years ago we bought this house with plans to someday add on a big living room to the back. […]
