Hey everyone! I'm taking a fun little detour from my normal home decor posts today to join nine of my blogging friends in putting our behind-the-scenes husbands into the spotlight to celebrate Father's Day! We drilled our husbands about everything from life with a wife as a blogger to what they know about our blogging friends plus an embarrassing tidbit or two about us thrown into the mix (aka question #5 - did he really have to share that?!). Since I love getting in the last word when I can ...
Married to a Blogger: The Husbands Tell All!
My Five Favorite Summer Essentials
After taking a little blogging break for the past few weeks to focus on the home stretch of my kitchen remodel (including my latest task of filling, sanding, and painting the 1001 nail holes in all of the new kitchen trim - fun times!), I'm excited to be back today with a post about my favorite season of the year - summer! I'm teaming up with my usual "My Five Favorites" gang of Pam of Simple Details, Lisa of Shine Your Light, and Jennifer of Dimples & Tangles, along with our guest host, ...
The Perfect Spring Front Door Color, My Kitchen Knobs & Pulls, & Some Summer Faves
Hi friends! I can't believe how crazy fast both the weekend and the entire month of May have been flying by - between the kitchen remodel (we're on the home stretch - woo hoo!), school wrapping up, celebrating two family birthdays and an anniversary this month, and lots of other little things, it's been nonstop busy and I'm looking forward to a slower pace in June. It's been a bit since my last edition of "View It, Do It, You It!" but I've got some good stuff saved up to share including two ...
Baby Stepping My Way to a Smart Home with Nest Hello Video Doorbell
As someone who's been forced to become somewhat tech savvy because of blogging (there's way more behind-the-scenes tech stuff associated with it than you'd ever imagine!), you'd think that I'd be the first to jump into using new technologies but that's pretty far from the truth. I was the last of my friends to get a smart phone, held on to VHS tapes way too long after DVDs came out, and generally have a tendency to just stick with what I know. Luckily I have a technology-loving husband who's ...
7 Time-Saving Painting Tips for a Next Level Paint Job (& Kitchen Reno Progress!)
We're two months into our kitchen reno and finally starting to get real-life glimpses of what our final space is going to look like! Thank goodness because I'm officially done with doing dishes in the bathtub, ordering takeout (I never thought takeout & eating out would get old...), and having a baker's rack full of food in our hallway. I took some kitchen progress pics so I could show you all where things are at and am sharing those a little later in this post but first... let's talk ...
Four Spring Decorating Must-Haves (That Will Put You Ahead of the Game for Summer!)
I love seasonal decorating but sometimes I feel like as soon as I decorate my home for one season, it's almost time to start decorating for the next! That's ok for most of the year (I truly love bringing out my super cozy throws in the fall and lightening and brightening everything for spring) but the spring to summer transition is the one that gets me - between my girls getting out of school and the temps finally getting warm enough that I'd rather spend my free time outside instead of in, ...
