Garage Floor Mats
Summer 2020 seemed like the summer of home projects 😅 Spending so much time at home meant many projects staring at us in the face. One of those projects we tackled was painting the garage floors. When we moved in, the previous owners had left a garage floor epoxy painting kit. It must have been a project they intended to do and never got around to it. When we lived in our town house in the city our garage floor was painted and we loved the look. With all the time we had on our hands this summer we went ahead and painted our garage floor. Now, we needed something…

Christmas Gift Guide – Toddler Edition!
December is here 😬 Christmas is quickly approaching. This is Lulu’s second Christmas, I have a feeling Christmas will be a sensory overload for her this year 😅 That being said, I am going to make Christmas morning as visually pleasing as possible. Let’s be real, at 17 months she will be all about the colors, the paper, the ribbons, the music more than the actual toys. She is already all about the Christmas tree! Hanging the ornaments was so much fun with her this year 😍 Before I even went shopping for Lucy I looked for the prettiest paper and ribbons. Hallmark makes the best bulk wrapping paper. The…

Products you didn’t know you needed…
My hubby tends to find a product, mostly on Amazon, that he believes is a solution to one of his many household “problems.” His latest “problem” was the amount of hair he finds on our bathroom floor 😆 Since I have been talking baby lately let’s touch on how much hair us women actually shed postpartum 😳 So many Moms would say this to me and I’d think “yea ok” but they were 100% right, it’s like half my head of hair started falling out. Hubby was not keen on finding strands in his toes (sorry if that is too much information LOL) I wasn’t super excited about it either…

New Baby – Bottles & Formula
Here comes the third post in my new baby series dedicated to my BFF Lola and her bundle of joy coming on New Years Eve! Lola asked me the question we all ask ourselves before giving birth, what if breastfeeding doesn’t work for me? Real talk, breastfeeding is HARD. I had very unrealistic expectations of breastfeeding as I’d known a few friends to breastfeed their kids with ease (or so I thought). Getting personal here, breastfeeding was very important to me, I knew the health benefits were essential to Lulu. I tried… but here is the thing, no one tells you beforehand how to breastfeed, how to pump, when your…

New Baby – Postpartum Items to Have at Home
Welcome to the second post in my New Baby series that I am putting together for my best friend, she is having her first baby on New Years Eve! Ok, so, your hospital bag is packed and ready to go, now it is time to think about what postpartum items you should have handy when you return home. The hospital provides many essential items for your stay, but your postpartum care continues long after you leave. If you are like me, you spent nine months preparing for baby and zero time preparing for your postpartum needs. I owe my survival of postpartum to my Mother and two Mama friends 🙏…

New Baby – The Hospital Bag
Let’s be real here, pregnancy is an all around overwhelming emotional process. From start to finish 🙃 especially your first. We brought Lulu into this world July of 2019 and it rocked our world, in a good way, of course but having your first child is life changing! That being said, my very best friend is due with her first, a little boy on New Years Eve, so I am dedicating this series of posts to her. I hope this helps other new or soon to be Mama’s out there! 💛 This post is all about the hospital bag 🙌 What to bring, what not to bring, what the…

Let’s talk vent covers…
Did you know you can buy vent covers that match your flooring?! 😮 You probably did 😅 I was late to the party on this one! When I started the design process I knew I wanted the same flooring throughout the entire house. I loved the open layout of our home, but didn’t care for the break in flooring, it went from tile to carpet to engineered hardwood all on one level. Ultimately, we decided on a wide plank white oak engineered hardwood. We had it installed throughout our entire house and I love how flowing the open layout it feels now. During the installation I could not picture what…

What’s in Lulu’s nursery?!
Switching gears today, and discussing Lulu’s nursery! When I was pregnant I referenced so many blogs for the “must haves” in your nursery. After accumulating way too much stuff I thought it would be nice to put together a blog of the essentials we use everyday! Frida Baby Humidifier with Diffuser and Nightlight – This humidifier is the best! I can add an essential oil for those times Lulu needs some aromatherapy, I love that feature. It holds enough water to last through the night, and lastly the built in night light is such a bonus. I highly recommend! Hatch Baby Rest Sound Machine Night Light…
