Mini Pizza Recipe {kid-friendly, dairy-free}

March 6, 2015 | Leave a Comment

Pizza. Mmm. I mean, who doesn’t love pizza? And if you tell me you know someone or you are that someone, I will give you the same reaction that I give when I hear that you don’t like chocolate. Because, huh?? I LOVE pizza. So when I went on a dairy-free diet because of my…

Twice baked potato recipe {clean eating/dairy-free}

February 28, 2015 | 5 Comments

So I recently discovered that my 8 month old has an intolerance to milk protein, which forced me to cut all dairy out of my diet. This was a bit devastating for me… I LOVE cheese, you guys. I mean, my favorite foods are pizza and nachos. What else am I supposed to eat at…

Disclosure: I was given free Lollywaffle mix to review for this post; all opinions stated are my own. Let’s face it, making dinner at the end of a long day is exhausting. Sometimes we need something quick and easy that we can grab and put together without putting any thought into it. Of course, these…

Turkey leftovers: 5 transformative recipes

December 1, 2014 | Leave a Comment

It’s official. Thanksgiving has ended. No more stuffing, no more pies, no more gravy. However… if you’re like me, you still have some turkey sitting in the fridge just begging to be transformed into another meal. At this point I’ve had my fill of the traditional turkey dinner (gorging myself on Thanksgiving and then having one night…

Healthy Whole Wheat Banana Bread { clean eating }

October 3, 2014 | Leave a Comment

Ever since my family started eating clean, I have begun baking WAY more than I ever used to. I’ve always loved to cook, but bake? No thanks. I mean, if you’re baking, I’m eating… but it feels like an awful lot of work when I have to do it myself (does that sound lazy?). But…

Whole wheat bread recipe (clean eating)

August 18, 2014 | Leave a Comment

Nothing beats the smell of homemade bread baking in the oven. Am I right? I rarely make homemade bread, but since trying to eat healthier and running across a recipe for whole wheat bread in the crockpot (which I thought sounded intriguing), I decided to give it a try. The bread tasted good, but was…

Super easy breakfast cookies (clean eating)

I’ve been mentioning lately that my family is on the road to clean eating. Thanks to the internet and some amazing bloggers like Andrea from Howe We Live, my eyes have been opened to the dangers of eating highly processed foods with artificial ingredients and the benefits of those that are all natural. After lots…

Seven-layer burritos via Rachael Ray

source: RachaelRayShow.com I’ve been getting Rachael Ray EveryDay magazine for quite few years now and I’m pretty sure I will never cancel my subscription. I don’t have time to watch her show, but I can flip through a magazine and tear out a recipe that looks good in 5 minutes flat. She’s taught me how to…

15+ Cinco de Mayo recipes

May 2, 2014 | Leave a Comment

It’s no secret that I am about as white as they come. I was raised on Midwestern food – meat and potatoes, and the only Mexican food my mom ever cooked/cooks is definitely “white” (sorry mom, but it’s true). As I’ve gotten older, I’ve learned how to make enchiladas, rice, beans, tacos, fajitas, empanadas and…

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!

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. ⚽
