Well friends, almost one month in to 2021! I've been on an organization spree while trying to reset my mental state of mind this year. Even though not much has changed, (the boys have yet to go to school full time), I'm vowing to myself that I will start venturing back out to stores and get myself back to the normal that I remember. (At least as much as I can and what is within my control.) We are finally into a new groove and I hope this will help with the anxiety and panic of going ...
A Casual Winter Target Try On
Losing that Baby Weight!
My Journey to Losing 40 Pounds of Baby Weight UPDATE: It's been 3 years since I have changed my eating habits. I'm happy to report that I have kept the weight off! I do cheat and slowly have incorporated foods that aren't as "healthy", but I always hit reset on Monday and take each day one at a time! **Keep in mind, I have VERY few pictures of myself for the first year after I gave birth, because I hated the way that I looked! Looking back, I wish I would've just embraced it and ...

The center of all the design ...

Design and Print Your Own Christmas Cards
Over the years, I've always used numerous card services for our family Christmas cards. Companies like Shutterstock, Snapfish and Minted depend on people like me to pay a premium for a service that is meant to simplify things. Except it never was a simple process --- oh all the layouts to choose from!! I would waste so much time plugging in various pictures into different templates, only to be left with my head spinning. Well last year I decided to use Canva for our Christmas cards. The ...

Master Bedroom Refresh
SIMPLE MASTER BEDROOM UPGRADES When I spend a lot of time at home, I start picking apart my design choices. I begin to think about what I could change or improve on. I have a creative brain so I think it's something I will always do. I love to solve problems on how to make a space more efficient and beautiful. I've found that you're never truly done designing a space, because good pieces don't come all at once. So while it can be tempting to purchase everything that's staged perfectly ...
