top posts of 2017

Happy Wednesday, everyone! This week is just flying by! I hope your New Year is off to a good start! I have been planning my projects for the new year and have been trying to tackle some of my New Year's Resolutions.

I am hoping to stay dedicated and see some progress on those fronts this year! So before I dive head first into new projects for 2018, I thought I would share my most-read/liked projects from 2017!

Fun Fall Decorating Ideas

written by Lauren

fall decorating ideas

Thanks to Oriental Trading for providing me with the Thanksgiving pumpkins shared in this post. I was provided free decor items in exchange for my honest review. Earlier this week, I've shared some of the ways I've decorated my home for fall this year and previous years. I do a lot of decorating, so I still have a lot of fall decor ideas to share! I thought I'd share more of the ways I've decorated my home for fall this year and other years. One of the first and easiest wreaths I've made is my fall grapevine wreath. I simply wrapped a chevron ribbon around a grapevine wreath to create Continue reading...

Fall Decorating Ideas

fall home and decor decorating ideas

Happy Monday, everyone! I love fall decorating. So far this season, I've decorated my living room console table for fall, and have made a DIY fall welcome sign for my home's front porch. I'd love to do some more fall decorating. But before I do, I thought it would be fun to share some of the ways I've decorated my home for fall this year and previous years. My DIY fall welcome sign is my most recent fall decorating project. I made the sign with some wood, chalk paint and crafting supplies I already had on hand. In all, this decor project only took me about an hour! Last year I decorated Continue reading...

Delicious and Easy Fall Picnic

ideas for a fall picnic

This post has been compensated by Collective Bias, INC. and The Coca-Cola Company, all opinions are mine alone. #ServeWithACoke #ShopRite #CollectiveBias I love this time of year -- the cooler temperatures, the beautiful yellows and oranges of mum and pumpkins and the falling autumn leaves. So I try to find some time during the day to enjoy the beautiful scenery. My town has a beautiful park about 2-3 blocks away, so when I can, I like to slip away for a quick and easy picnic! I have a really cute gingham-lined wicker picnic basket that a friend gave to me and my husband when we got Continue reading...

This shop has been compensated by Collective Bias, Inc. and its advertiser. All opinions are mine alone. #NatureMadeFamily #CollectiveBias Now that the school year is in full swing, my family's life has been busy!

I came up with a checklist of 5 good-for-us routines my family (and yours) can follow throughout the school year. Exercise a Few Times a Week I used to be a runner and my kids ran run cross county in middle school, but now that we aren't running so much, our exercise Continue reading...

Concrete Block Raised Garden Bed

written by Lauren

cinder block raised garden bed filled with mums

  Over a year ago, I created an outdoor seating area in my yard with a few concrete/cinder blocks and some wood. Sadly the top of the bench didn't last long. Just before this summer, the wood warped, and the adhesive that held the wood to the concrete block base of the bench dried up. I debated whether to fix the bench or find another use for the concrete blocks. My family and I never used the bench much, so I nixed the idea of rebuilding it. (Even though the bench was pretty!) I thought about building a fire pit with the blocks, but my daughters didn't think we'd use it much. Continue reading...

My family and I love Korean food and other Asian-inspired cuisines, so I was thrilled when I Continue reading...

DIY Fall Gallery Wall

written by Lauren

DIY fall gallery wall

I love decorating my home for the seasons. My decor isn't always planned -- sometimes I go where my whims take me. Recently, a trip to my local Target store spurred a new DIY fall gallery wall in my home's living room! For me, my home is one big craft/art project! Luckily my hubby doesn't complain about it much. When I shop at Target, I love stopping at my local store's dollar spot area. On one recent trip, I was lucky enough to snag an inexpensive blank pallet-style wooden sign, a wooden "Family" cutout, some silver and gold fall-themed transfer stickers, and some wooden autumn leaves. I Continue reading...
