Mama’s Painting Method // No Chalk Paint Required! My mama’s a junker. I never knew the value in that until I got married, bought a house, and needed furniture. Leave it to Ouida and craigslist to fill our new home with furniture in 2013. I never had any doubts about my mom’s ability to fill […]

Top Essential Carry-on Items
We just got back from our 17 day adventure in Israel + Europe! It was wonderful, and I hope to write more posts for you about the trip! I had started this post before we left, but I also wanted to make sure that I wanted to stick with everything after our 7 flights. Whenever […]
How to // Organize Under the Kitchen Sink
I had to share with yall some of my favorite “under-the-kitchen-sink” organizational tricks + items! I recently pulled everything out and reorganized the whole thing. Holy cow, I feel so much better! Does anyone else put that space off? I totally have been avoiding it for months now. After I finished, I felt so silly […]
Crockpot Beef and Cabbage Soup
Growing up, I was definitely that typical “vegetable soup…YUCK” kind of kid. Tell me it’s cabbage soup, and I would’ve thought you’d grown three heads. It’s really funny how our taste buds change over the years and recipes form. I visited my friend, Brandy, one night for dinner. She was looking for gluten-free and dairy-free […]

Winter + Valentine’s Day Coffee Station Decor
“Gotta get that boom, boom, pow from my cofffffeeee!” Isn’t that how the lyrics go? No? Okay, well that’s how I feel pretty much every day before I get my little caffeine kick! (We will deal with that issue another day… one post at a time, right?!) Today I’m (figuratively) dropping my coffee station on […]
2019 // Top Valentine’s Day Decor Picks
Valentine’s Day is right around the corner! I have already decorated (a tiny bit), but I have realized over the past two years that Valentine’s Day is really tough for me to decorate for! Because of this, I have made it a mission to really dig down and find quality Love Day decor for 2019! […]

I came across this huge sale at Target, and I had to share my favorites with yall! The start of 2019 sales have gotten me so excited. The deals have been wild! I rounded up my favorite home decor that’s on sale at Target right now (rugs, bedding, bath, storage, and patio) and listed them […]
How to Style a Buffet for Winter
This Christmas, I really tried to curate as much neutral decor as I could with greens as accent colors. This made my transition into winter so much easier! I was able to leave up so much of my holiday decor and dual purpose it for winter, which was extremely exciting because I really enjoyed these […]
50 + Last Minute Stocking Stuffers for Her // 2018
We are closing in on Christmas, and if you’re like me, you may or may not have forgotten about stocking stuffers. Stocking stuffers can be tricky, and it can be hard to fill a stocking for women with things she will actually like and use. Here are some of my favorites! Over 50 stocking stuffers […]
The Comfy, Cozy Gift Guide for Her // 2018
What lady doesn’t love curling up in joggers and an oversized sweater, with a mug of (spiked) coffee, and a great movie on all while staring at her lit up Christmas decor? I think that just explained my whole month of December. I have curated a cozy guide for the lady in your life that […]
Healthy Teriyaki Chicken Bowls
I love Asian food… especially rice, chicken, and a good sauce! I could eat at hibachi grills 3 times a week and be perfectly content in my belly. However, my wallet would disagree. I found a similar recipe to Teriyaki Chicken bowls forever ago, and over the year I have been slowly tweaking and editing […]
Vegan Chocolate Avocado Mousse
Vegan Chocolate Avocado Mousse Yes, it is as weird as it sounds. But yall, it is so delicious and guilt-free! I tried this a couple of years ago when my cousin made it for me! I couldn’t believe she used avocados–it had the consistency of a legit pudding/mousse! You have to try this + share […]
Walker Family Photos || Nashville, Tennessee
I had the privilege of photographing my old friends + coworkers last month in Nashville, Tennessee. Kim, Brent, and their daughter, Rileigh, are a gorgeous family. With the beautiful weather, perfect lighting, Ri’s sassy-self, and Kim’s killer fall style, we could not have asked for a better photo shoot! The Walkers Nashville, Tennessee November 2018 […]
Grimes Family Photos || Kentucky Lake
I recently began to more seriously dabble in photography, as I have always loved quality photos. Watching how technology has improved and changed over the past 20, even 10 years, has been insane. The fact that I can take a better quality photo on my cell phone than a 10-year-old camera blows my mind! I […]
Holiday Sangria || Three Recipes
This year we hosted Thanksgiving at our home with our new farmhouse table! I was pretty excited to be able to fit everyone at one table + be able to cook all the scrumptious sides! I then added a twist to my planning: I was on a mission this Thanksgiving to create a really fun […]
Black Friday, Small Business Saturday + Cyber Week Steals // 2018
Thanksgiving already! How did we get here so fast!? I love this time of the year, especially the sales. I used to go out and hunt for TV’s on Black Friday, but with the beauty of virtual shopping, I have really enjoyed doing it all in my PJ’s with wine while decorating the tree! Such […]
Holiday Gift Guide for Him // 2018
Does anyone else think guys are SO difficult to shop for?! My husband is really good about sending me links of items he sees that he likes. However, he is not the only man in my life… My dad, FIL, brothers… yall, one can only have so many golf balls for Christmas! So I wanted […]

Halloween Tablescape
“Now it’s been 300 years, right down to the day. Now the witch is back! And there’s hell to pay….” Just like the Sanderson Sisters (I mean, really, I’m like the 4th sister), I am BACK! Okay, okay, I wasn’t gone for that long! Life has been crazy around here! But, I am so happy […]
