House Tour: The Dining Room & Kitchen
Hi, and welcome to my home. I hope you’ll enjoy your visit… This is truly the heart of our home. We do everything in this space: eat, talk, laugh, pay bills, cry over said bills… We have a dining room/kitchen combo, which I absolutely love. I’ve found that as my kids have gotten older, I prefer the informal setting of a combination area. I like being part of the action. The hubs surprised me with the dining room table a while back. Long story short, he had given mine away with the promise of a new one… Skip ahead 6 months and we were still eating our meals at a…

2014 Daily Selfie: Week 8 {In the Dark Room}
Happy Monday! How was your weekend? Mine was absolutely wonderful: the sun was out, I disconnected from work, and I got to hang out with my family. Seriously, what more could I ask for? Not much, I tell ya. Well, I’ve decided to revamp my 2014 Daily Selfie posts. I knew this would happen… But I’m tired of me. I know the point of the challenge is to document ourselves and our lives, to provide a visual memory of our feelings {be they good or bad}, but I just couldn’t keep it up. So, I’m going to share my favorite Instagram pictures from the previous week and tell the story…

Fist Bump Friday: Warm Weather Makes Me Happy {In the Cafe}
If you follow me on Facebook or Instagram, you know that I like to do a little something called “Fist Bump Friday”, where I encourage my friends to share something that made them happy during the week. Sometimes we get so bogged down with life and the crazy that comes with it that we forget to acknowledge the good things. So I thought it’d be fun if we all shared and celebrated together. This week, I’m happy that we finally had some sun. I don’t know about y’all but I’m so over winter. It’s been cold, icy, gray, and just miserable. So seeing the sun was an unexpected but welcome…

SmileBrilliant Professional Teeth Whitening Review and Giveaway {#Sponsored} {CLOSED}
Before I say anything else, I want to say thank you to the hubs for being my guinea pig. He was such a good sport throughout the whole teeth whitening process. Honestly, I was looking forward to the silence. Thought I’d settle in with a magazine for a bit. Not so. Via text and numerous grunts, the hubs told me which pictures to take, how he felt through the process, etc. So this was truly a team effort. Recently, I was given the opportunity to review SmileBrilliant, a professional teeth whitening kit that comes with an LED light. We chose to have the hubs try the product out for 2…

House Tour: The Foyer
Hi, and welcome to my home. I hope you’ll enjoy your visit… The console table is from Annie Laurie’s Antiques. If you’re ever in the area, you really need to pay her a visit, she has some of the most unique items. In fact, if you come back for another visit, you’ll see a few other items from her store that I’ve placed around the house. Have you ever received a gift from one of your kids and wondered What in the world am I gonna do with this? That’s how I felt about that lamp when it was given to me by Mr. Seventeen. I think he was all…

2014 Daily Selfie: Week 7 {In the Dark Room}
Happy Monday, everyone! Are you off today for President’s Day? I’m not. In fact, I’ll be sitting in my office trying not to fall asleep. I woke up way too early, 3 something, and couldn’t fall back to sleep. I hate when that happens. Does that ever happen to you? How do you settle back down? Here’s my week in pictures: I noticed a theme with this week’s selfies, they all involved coffee. I think I really need to diversify. What was the highlight of your week? I’m linking up with: 2014 Daily Selfie ~ Instagram: I’m doing this with a few of my Instagram friends. “Selfie” is open to…

House Tour: The Foyer
Hi, and welcome to my home. I hope you’ll enjoy your visit… My foyer is separated in to two parts, so I’m going to split the tour into two separate posts. The foyer is one entry way but there are two walls with two focal areas. What you’re seeing today is the area you see as soon as you walk enter the house. Since moving to Missouri, the hubs and I have discovered that we absolutely love shopping at antique stores, thrift shops, and yard sales. So many of the things that we’ve used to accessorize our home are “found” and/or reclaimed items. I think this gives our home a little more…

2014 Daily Selfie: Week 6 {In the Dark Room}
Hey, how’s it going? All’s well here, considering the crazy amount of snow and ice we’ve had. Seriously, I’m so over it. My kids haven’t been to school in 11 days. Eleven. Days. That’s just not right. Especially since I had to go to work every one of those days… Day 33 New plant purchase for the office. Hope I don’t kill it… Day 34 I think he was faking illness for attention. Day 35 Just sitting there watching everyone leave ahead of the snow storm… Day 36 Mmmmm…. Day 37 I need a fancy headset for telephone conferences, preferably one that looks like a tiara. Day 38 On behalf…
