Simple Indulgence: DIY Maple Latte

January 16, 2018 | 1 Comment

In the morning when I wake, give me Jesus… and coffee. This is my morning mantra. Because Lord help me, I am NOT a morning person. Getting myself and the kids ready and out the door by 7:30 without becoming a fire-breathing dragon takes a lot of effort from me… and sadly, I am not…

Baking with the kids

 Disclosure: I received a copy of Baking Class for free in order to review. All opinions are my own. I was not compensated for this post, I simply enjoyed the product and wanted to share! Every time I step into the kitchen to bake, the kids think it’s a great idea that they join me.…

My Go-to, Kid-Friendly Dinner Recipes

October 4, 2017 | Leave a Comment

I have always enjoyed cooking. I used to have the time and energy to try out new recipes, but in the last couple of years with the addition of 3 kids and a busy work schedule, I can barely muster up the energy and excitement to throw a frozen pizza in the oven… But as…

Turkey porn

November 23, 2016 | Leave a Comment

Just try and look at these pictures of turkeys without drooling. Just try. I’m a late bloomer, so I am just figuring out how I’m going to cook my turkey tomorrow morning. I never make it the same way, because I have some sort of sickness. I guess I just haven’t found a recipe that…

8 Must-try Fall Dessert Recipes

October 25, 2016 | 1 Comment

There is nothing I love more than a warm house that smells like freshly baked goods when the weather outside is cool and crisp. Can’t you just imagine walking in the house, removing your cold boots and heavy coat, blowing on your hands to warm them up and then slowly lifting your head as the…

Dairy-free chocolate chip scones

February 18, 2016 | Leave a Comment

I am sure you have heard me fully admit to the fact that I am not a baker. I have never really enjoyed baking; I would much rather cook. But I have a small problem… I have a bit of a sweet tooth. So while I don’t particularly want to bake, I do. You know,…

Slow cooker potato soup (whole30 approved)

January 21, 2016 | 1 Comment

There’s nothing better on a cold day than a bowl of soup; and something particularly hearty like potato soup really makes me happy. I also love that potato soup is so easy to make and really requires very little time, effort, or ingredients – all important things to this busy lady. Ever since my husband…

Homemade Magic Shell

December 11, 2015 | Leave a Comment

You guys remember Magic Shell, right? It was super cool before there were 18,000 different kinds of Ben & Jerry’s ice cream flavors and chocolate sauce was about as fancy as you could get with your dessert. I always referred to it as a “chocolate dipped cone” because that is the only form I ever…

Adorable Halloween treats

September 25, 2015 | 1 Comment

I’m not usually all that into Halloween. It’s an ok holiday, but it’s never really been my jam. Maybe it’s because I have to spend the weeks following explaining to my kids why they can’t have another lollipop because Mommy doesn’t want to pay to fill their cavities (also because Mommy ate all the lollipops…

Dairy-free BBQ Chicken Pizza

June 23, 2015 | 1 Comment

Mmm. Pizza. I think I have a new resolution to see how many pizza recipes I can post on here. I’ve been experimenting ever since giving up dairy, and while you can never replace the ooey-gooey goodness of cheese-covered delivery pizza, I have learned that you can still have plenty of good pizza without the…

I get it. It's a little weird. But the girls I've I get it. It's a little weird.
But the girls I've seen do it best, look adorable.

I think it looks best with an oversized tee or sweatshirt, tennies or slides, and a small crossbody bag.

You can't argue with comfort.

For the record, these are women's sleep shorts that I've had a couple of years from Old Navy. If you buy actual men's boxers, you might consider sewing up the pee pocket 😜

Don't spend a lot on this trend; these shorts are made from the thinnest of fabric and shouldn't cost much. Don't be fooled by a retailer that wants you to spend just because it's trendy.

But if you see some cute boxers and want to give it a go - then do! Bonus - if/when the trend ends, you'll have pajamas on the ready 👏

It's solid weekend wear, but I'm not going out to dinner in it...

Another project down in my son's room! I knew I w Another project down in my son's room!

I knew I wanted some sort of built-in feature in this bedroom, but it was hard to figure out what, because we turned it into an active space where he could run and play and needed a lot of room.

So I settled on a built-in bookcase with the slatted design feature, which I'm in love with!

The best part about it is that if he ever decides to upgrade his bed, the space will also accommodate a full or queen size bed going in the opposite direction. It adds so much interest to this room and hopefully will be here for a long time!

One of the things I love most about DIY projects is figuring out how to make something - it's like a giant puzzle. I saw photos of these slotted wall room dividers on Pinterest and just figured it out as I went. All in all, I had very few hiccups and it only took me a few hours to put together. I think I only cursed once?!? And so I call that an extreme DIY win...

Now that the sports wall, the climbing wall, and the built-in feature are complete, the last thing to do in here is some additional painting. I'm thinking of using a contrasting blue color for the closet doors and back side of the built-in, and perhaps trimming out the window with it as well. Then I need to switch out the light for a fan and this.room.is done 🙌

Details: I used two IKEA billy bookshelves, screwed together and secured to the wall. Then wrapped them in white oak plywood. I ripped down 2x4s into 1.5x1.5" square dowels (heavily sanded!) and used pocket holes on the back side of each to secure to the bookshelf and the 1x4 in the ceiling. It's very sturdy!

This climbing wall took half a day and cost under This climbing wall took half a day and cost under $100!

We are lucky enough to have 13' ceilings in our bedrooms, so a climbing wall seemed to make sense in my son's room as we worked on the remodel.

He is a super active kid with #ADHD, so his room redo has involved lots of activity spaces! Go back in my reels to see past projects and follow to see me finish this up!

I added very subtle striping to the wall to mimic a soccer field and keep things classy. ⚽

Stick around to see the next project - a climbing wall!
