Navy Blue and White Master Bathroom Makeover

When my husband and I moved into our house nearly 4 years ago, we knew that one of the biggest things that we’d have to tackle and tackle FAST was our Master Bathroom makeover. Our master bathroom is tiny you guys, like…closet tiny, but we were ok with that knowing that we had the chance to make it our own. In August 2017 we finally gutted the bathroom, pulled out the horrible bathtub and shower, and ripped the disgusting vanity and toilet from the space so that it was a complete blank slate. Over the course of the next 18… Read More

How to Paint Metal Patio Furniture: Patio Furniture Makeover

This post is sponsored by HomeRight. All thoughts and opinions are my own. For years now I have wanted to replace our patio furniture and this year was the year I told myself–out with the old and in with the new. Then, you guys, our lawnmower broke down…like literally, the bar that holds the wheel on (formally called the transaxle), snapped in half…and just like that, we needed to buy a new lawnmower. So now we have a fancy new mower, but we’re still stuck with the same patio set from 8+ years ago that I can’t stand. So I… Read More

Fire and Carbon Monoxide Safety at Home with First Alert

Thank you First Alert for sponsoring this post. Help protect your home and family with voice and location alarms from First Alert! With so many things on our plates as parents and adults to manage, I feel like sometimes the smallest things can go unfinished without even realizing it.

For example, I have a light in my living room that needs a particular bulb that I have forgotten to get at the store for MONTHS now…only to… Read More

Your Sports Season MUST HAVES

This post is sponsored by the Boogies WipesⓇ brand, all opinions are my own. I feel like this time of the year is where my husband and I run around with our heads cut off carting one kid to soccer, one to baseball, and both to swim lessons. We go from the general quiet of being indoors all winter in Ohio to absolute chaos and being gone ALL night long during the spring. For my daughter in particular, being outside at baseball games and at her own soccer games really starts to stir up her allergies and we find her… Read More

How to Dye a Planter

This post is sponsored by HomeRight, all thoughts and opinions are my own. I don’t know about you guys, but each year I usually have that one item in or around my home that I know I need to tend to, but never find time to take care of! That item for us was an old wood planter that has sat in the middle of the backyard since we moved in. We haven’t done much with it and just the other day I decided it was time to take action. I didn’t want to go through the hassle of hand… Read More
