Blooming branches ~ spring entryway
Happy April y’all!! While the world around us is all out of whack, I have found myself on an emotional rollercoaster. Some days I feel empowered to make the most of the situation that we have been given, enjoying every moment at home and being with my sweet boys, while and other days, I feel so discouraged and overwhelmed by all of the unknown. How are you doing with it all? Today, I choose happiness!! And what can be happier than fresh spring branches! I created a this entryway display using things that I had on hand, and these beautiful fresh blooms! I have always thought of yellow as one…

The art of staying at home and surviving “social distancing”
Happy Saturday, friends!! I hope you are well, and having a wonderful weekend! Today, Tara and I are sharing a few things that we have been doing to survive, and even enjoy, being home during this crazy time. Just because we are all socially distancing, doesn’t mean that we have to be on complete lock down, and feel like prisoners. Find something that you can do, with the current circumstances, that will bring you joy, and take full advantage of it, everyday! For my littles and I, it is getting outside, enjoying nature, and being creative! Here are a few things that we’ve been up to…. Today, we spent the…

Shelfie Ideas and A Fun Sugar Egg DIY
Happy Monday, friends!! How’s life? We’re still here, staying at home, and doing our best to practice “social distancing”. While under this temporary lockdown, I’m doing my best to find activities to keep my little guys (and I) busy and happy! We’ve spent a lot of time outside playing in the backyard, and have also spent a lot of time creating and crafting. I have restyled all of the shelves in my house at least twice! I started with this shelf a week ago, adding some vintage stoneware and spring vibes … The hydrangeas on this shelf still look amazing!Such a blessing, especially while I can’t just run out to…

Thrifted Treasure ~ living room refresh
Happy Sunday y’all! I hope you all are having a lovely day! Today, for our monthly thrift store challenge, I am joined by two of my sweet blogging friends. Their links are at the end of this post, so be sure to check them out too! This month, it’s was a little different preparing for this challenge. I am an extremely last minute type of gal. I am usually running to the store to grab a few last minute things, decor, fresh flowers, etc. While preparing for this challenge, I was determined not to go to the store for a single item, and I succeeded!! Yay! Here is my living…

Bloom where you are planted ~ spring shelfie
Happy Thursday, friends!! Yesterday was a big day for us, my boys all started online school! On Tuesday night, I told my kids to do their best to sleep in the next morning, that way we could all be rested for our first day of home school. We even stayed up really late so they’d want to sleep in, but we were hit with an earthquake that ruined that! Yep, that’s right, Utah had an earthquake on Wednesday morning that woke us all up! It was an exciting start to our first day of online school. I have to say, I am super impressed with how the teachers have worked…

Song Birds and Spring Flowers
Hi friends!!! How are y’all handling all of this craziness? It’s hard to know exactly what to think all of this. I stocked up on groceries over the weekend, and have no plans of leaving my house for a while. School has been canceled, but nothing has been sent out about what to do for homework, so we spent most of our day outside, enjoying the nice spring weather!And, of course when I’m home, I’m usually creating, because it brings me so much happiness! So while my boys were playing with their legos, I put together a fun little centerpiece for my table… Ever since I built this table riser,…

Fresh eucalyptus and rose wreath
Happy Sunday, friends!!! First of all, thank you so much for all of the love on this wreath that I made! After showing it on my hutch the other day, I got several questions about it. So today, I wanted to quickly show y’all how I made it. It was so super easy to make!! Start with a grapevine wreath …. I used this 24 inch grapevine wreath. Gather some greenery and florals. I LOVE using fresh, but faux would look amazing too. I used two bunches of fresh eucalyptus (one bunch of seeded, one regular) and one bunch of fresh pink spray roses, all of which I bought from…

French Vintage Friday ~ antique buffet turned hutch
Happy Friday, friends!! How’s everything in your neck of the woods? Is it crazy town, everyone scrambling to prepare for the Corona Virus? It’s starting to get more and more crazy here! The shelves at the stores are empty, and the schools are going to half days so the teachers can prepare for closures. It’s craziness out there! I am such a home body, so I will happily stay home for the next few weeks! Today, I am sharing one of my most beloved pieces of furniture, this hutch that I built last year. I started with the bottom piece. It is an antique buffet that came from Europe. I…

Spring is in the air ~ spring table ideas
Happy Thursday, lovelies!! I just received the sweetest salt and pepper shakers in the mail from Arthur Court , so naturally I put together a little spring-y centerpiece for my table. I could hardly wait to display this little cutie! Isn’t this the sweetest salt and pepper shaker set that you’ve ever seen? It was quite a hit at the dinner table tonight! The only down side, it is so cute that my youngest couldn’t keep his little hands off of it. He kept asking everyone to pass him salt and pepper, he’s such a funny boy! I can’t wait to use this Bunny salt & pepper hanging set on…

Simply Spring ~ easy table centerpiece ideas
Happy Sunday!! Can you believe that it’s already March!?!! Spring will soon be here! I’m so excited! Today, I have put together a super quick and easy spring table centerpiece. I started with my go-to table riser, you can click HERE to see how I made it. I added some super old, super crazed, well loved plates to a little plate holder that I recently found at IKEA for just $3!! SOURCE I {obviously} painted it white and distressed it, to match my style. And, that sweet little bunny mold!! Everyone thinks it’s old, but I actually got it at Michael’s a couple years ago. They have some similar this…
