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. All three things that are intended to make life easier (and dare i say peaceful? Today I'm going to share if I truly think they are worth they hype. I was impressed by one, shock[...]
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.

This week is my kids spring break and they are on a trip with grandparents. 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.
