I don't know what has gotten into me the past few weeks but I randomly decided to pull the plug on some viral home products that have been in my Amazon cart for a while.

Last week I took on what I would likely call one of my top 3 hardest projects to date. The kids were on a spring break trip with my in laws and I thought it would be a genius idea to have our kitchen tile floors tore so we could continue the LVP in that part of our home.

So I'm taking a small pause on the boys bathroom to knock out a project that needs to be done while no one is here for a few days.

A few weeks ago I shared that I developed a consistent morning and evening routine as a part of my 2024 goal to manifest peace in my life this year. One thing I included is my much-loved skincare routine. Skincare has always been a big part of my life, but in the past year or so I've added a few new must-have products. As I've gotten older my skin n[...]
Wait, it SNOWS in Arizona?!? This was an honest question I received from a midwest friend last week after telling her that we went on a snowy hike in the mountains a few weekends back. Until we moved to Phoenix it was honestly something I had never considered either. But lo and behold, if you travel about an hour north of us on winter day there is[...]
A few weeks ago I shared that I'm pulling out all of the stops in an effort to lessen overwhelm and manifest more peace in my life this year. My mental health has taken a severe dip over the past several years and this is the year that I take back control of that part of my life.
