Did a little photo shoot with this kid of mine. He is getting baptized in a couple weeks and we couldn’t be more proud of him! He has been looking forward to this day for so long. He is so excited to make a promise to follow Jesus throughout his life. Love him so much!!

This grid photo frame has been sitting in my basement for years waiting for me to update it. I finally did. It was originally black so I added that white paint probably a year ago, and then it sat for another year. What held me back was I needed to go through about 18 years of photos on our computer and choose new ones. I had a little system for choosing between kids and Steve and I to try to balance it all out. I figured it out and put it together and I’m in love with it! I love that we pass it in our hallway and coming out of the laundry room. It just makes me so happy. Love this family of mine, and love getting projects done that I’ve been sitting and waiting on. Feels good!

Sharing our school room. Swipe to see more!

I have four kiddos in online schooling this year. I set three of them up in our bonus room. My senior in high school wanted a space to himself, so he is set up at the desk in my craft room.

I painted these tables and chairs that I’ve had for years with white chalk paint. I typed up the kids class schedules and added them to clipboard so they know what times they need to be ready to go. I also added a small wooden crate with containers full of colored pencils, markers, and regular pencils to have those available.

I finished off my decorating with a fun back to school banner that I made with prints from @colorlylove. I also added a beaded garland and a couple of yarn garlands. You can find tutorials for the garlands in my highlights.

This was such a fun space to pull together and it’s been super functional. We’ve been using it for the last week, and I’m so glad I have a space set apart from the rest of the house, tables where they can sit and get their work done, and an area where we can gather together to focus on schoolwork.

Sharing this awesome facial moisturizer with sunscreen from DRMTLGY. They reached out to me a little while ago and let me try this awesome product. It’s SPF 45, it has transparent zinc oxide, which I love, and it also has hyaluronic acid, which is great for anti-aging.

I’ve been using it for a couple weeks now and I’m really loving it. It has a very light weight consistency, and just blends right in under my make up. It also comes in a large 2 ounce bottle that I know will last me a long time. Such a great product!

Our back to school feast was a success!! We waited

Our back to school feast was a success!! We waited for our oldest’s night off work, so we were a few days into the new school year when we finally came together. We talked about our theme for the year and about personal safety.

We also have fathers blessings for each of the kids. This is like a special prayer my husband gives to each of our children. It’s a really special time where he asks for blessings for their specific needs and challenges, and also gives them encouragement and points out their strengths and talents. We actually did this on Sunday, but we didn’t have time to do the dinner then, so we split it up a bit this year, but usually we do it all together.

It was a great evening. Love spending time with this family of mine and celebrating the beginning of the school year. Even though this year looks vastly different than years past, our family is doing well,
and that makes my mama heart very happy.

Theme for the year:

Anxiously engages in a good cause.

How is the school year going for all of you?? I know some of my friends are really struggling with online school. Has it been going well? Have there been struggles?

I love little home projects, I love things that ke

I love little home projects, I love things that keep me motivated, I love doing simple things around my home that bring me so much joy. I know so many of you that visit my account feel the exact same way! We love our homes and we love to create comfy, cozy, pretty spaces.

I had a little epiphany the other day. I realized what I’m creating in my home, I’m building on each project and each space organized, and creating something that lasts. There’s a lot of things in my life as a stay at home mom that I do and then I have to redo the next day. You know, like showering, dishes, laundry. We do it and it gets undone. That’s how certain things in life work.

But then there’s other things in life that build upon each other. Like remodeling a home, or organizing a space. They build on each other. You can paint a wall, you can add furniture, you can add rugs, you can add the decor, and it keeps building and you create a space that lasts. You can declutter and organize and move things around and make things more functional and create a space that works better for your family.

I love this concept. I love things in my life that build on each other. That stay done for more than a few minutes or a few hours. I finally feel like I flipped to the other side of this home remodel, where my home is mostly finished and decorated and now I’m just finishing up a few things and building on what I’ve created, making it more my style. I have a canvas where I can express my creativity. Walking into finished spaces and down hallways that I’ve styled and decorated makes me so happy. Don’t get me wrong, there’s still quite a bit left to do, but for so long I felt buried in projects and to dos, where now I can see that things have gotten done and we’ve have something that will last.

And I get to keep doing it, building on these spaces that I’ve created, making my home more my own, creating and styling when I feel inspired. It truly is a privilege to have these homes of our own to make and create, to style and cozify. I guess that what it means to make a house at home.

Back to online school yesterday. The day went pretty well. Our Internet held up for all the zoom calls, the kids were able to connect, and they did a great job!

I’m excited to share a few more things about how we’re doing school this year. I’ll share a little about the homeschool space we are using and a few others I’m loving from around Instagram.

So grateful things went well yesterday, it was a great way to start out the school year. I know we will have our ups and downs, maybe even a few rough days, but it was good to have a win early on. Hope all is going well with all you online learning moms, for all the moms of school age kids this year, it’s been a wild year for sure!

Here is a little project I did last week. Finally printing off some family photos and using these @ikeausa photo wooden hangers to display them. They were easy to use and I love the style. I printed off 3 15”x20” photos from our last family photo session. Love how it came together!

I felt like the space needed a little something, so I created this fall wreath that I’m swooning over. Super simple to put together, just using items I had around the house with one extra last minute item from @hobbylobby. I’m sharing in stories today how I pulled it all together.

Do you display family photos in your home?

Working through a few older photos, finding the perfect ones to use in a home decor project. Found this gem of myself and my two oldest from a few years ago. They’re both in high school this year and I’m just feeling all the feels!

Time truly passes so quickly as we raise these awesome kids of ours. So grateful for the people that they are and the good things that they do. It’s been a wild year, and I’m grateful for perfectly imperfect children who are also going through this year with me. All the ups and downs and the uncertainty. I just appreciate all the time they have stepped up to the plate and done their part and supported me as I’m navigating motherhood during this crazy time. Love them. Family is everything.

My bedroom, my oasis. I’ve been heading to bed e

My bedroom, my oasis. I’ve been heading to bed early lately, and it’s been wonderful to get to bed at an earlier time. I wake up to a quiet house and I have a little time to do some cross stitching. I think it’s really helped me to stay calm and feel peaceful.

We pray as a family everyday, and last night I was praying with the boys and struggling to find the words, as I prayed for those that are going through so much, I didn’t want my words to create fear in their hearts, kids are so incredibly perceptive! I felt inspired to focus on gratitude,for where were at, for how we can help people, for all the little things that we still are able to enjoy.

During this tumultuous time, with wild fires everywhere, and online learning starting soon, riots in Portland, everything feels up in the air and unsure, and it’s felt that way for a long time. It’s good to have things in my day to day life that I can hold onto. Like a cozy bed to sleep in, a family to love, books to read, hobbies that I love, Internet friends to support and lift me up with kind words and prayers.

We are still moving forward every day with all the things, fixing all the meals, cleaning up, taking care of the animals, hanging out with cousins. It’s amazing how life just moves forward even when things are unsure. I walked outside into a smoky morning and felt grateful for the cooler day. Hopefully a sign of things to come as the weather cools and the rain comes back. Learning that gratitude is an amazing tool and that we humans are incredibly resilient!

New bouquet I added to my coffee table.

As many of you know, here in the Pacific Northwest we’ve had unprecedented winds and have quite a few wildfires burning in our state. It’s hitting close to home with family and friends. I’ve shared a little bit of the smoke and wind that we are seeing in my stories. Wild times for sure around these parts! We are keeping an eye on it all and praying for the winds to slow down and the rain to come!

I fallified the entryway. I added my favorite large quirky wooden pumpkin, a new pumpkin cross stitch, and some fall foliage.

We had a huge windstorm here last night and our power was shut off for most of the night. Since we live in the country, when we don’t have power, we don’t have water, so I was happy to see it back on this morning. We had a cooler morning this morning and it definitely felt like fall. I did get a little meal prep done yesterday, but it was so warm, and we spent so much time working in our barnyard, that I opted not to bake. Maybe I’ll do a little baking today. I did buy some Honeycrisp apples yesterday, my favorite apple! All the fall things! Baking, cool crisp weather, apples, and fall decor! Now I just need to light my fall candles and I will feel all the fall feels.

Do you love fall? Is it cooling down where you are at?

Planning to spend some time in here today meal prepping and such. Steve took the boys on a camping trip this weekend to the San Juan Islands up in Washington and Isabelle went to spend the weekend at her cousin’s house so I had the weekend here at home alone. Got a bunch of projects done and I’m feeling on top of things, which is a really good feeling. Everyone came back home last night, so good to be back together. I spent the afternoon yesterday making a big pot of soup and homemade rolls to welcome everyone home. I did cheeseburger soup, one of our favorites. I just discovered it this last spring when a friend mentioned she was making it. My family not ask for it often.

I have a bunch of tomatoes in the garden I’m going to have the kids pick and make a big pot of tomato soup. Tomato soup from my garden tomatoes is my favorite! Also want to prep a bunch of keto meals for myself to have. Meal prep is key for me to stay on track with keto. I might do a little baking as well. I’m definitely feeling in a fallish mood today, even though temperatures outside do not agree. We’ll see, I may not do much baking today, but I definitely need to clean out the fridge and freezer and prep meals for the coming weeks.

What are your plans for today? Do you do any meal prep in your home?

Happy Sunday!

Well, I finished it! So happy to finally be done with this project! It was definitely the largest cross stitch that I’ve ever done. No fall vibes here today, sharing this very summery Fourth of July cross stitch, but just had to since it’s been my summer project. Happy to be done and to move on to another cross stitch project.

Do you have any hobbies that you love? Have you had a chance to work on them lately?

Fall table. Swipe to see the details.

I started with a macramé table runner. Then I lined the table runner with thrifted baskets, one of my favorite thrift store finds! Then I layered some florals in the basket, I found these @hobbylobby for 50% off. And then I added some white pumpkins and a white artichoke. Love how it all came together!

I am just loving decorating with all this fall decor! Love the neutral fall colors this year. Love the baskets, such a functional styling piece, and such an easy item to thrift. You can find so many quirky and fun baskets for just a dollar or two at any thrift store.

What do you like to look for when you go thrifting? Do you have a favorite piece that you love to style?
