Easy Paw Patrol Halloween Costumes with DIY Details

Do you have young kids that are Paw Patrol obsessed like mine? Then this post is for you!  Last year my two sons {then ages 2 and 3.5} who requested to be Chase and Marshall for Halloween. As you may know, Chase is the police pup, and Marshall is the firefighter pup. Like a lot of little boys, my son's already had a police costume and a fireman costume that they use for dress up, so I wanted to find a way to work with what we already had, and today I'm sharing the simple DIY details for ...

Mann Residence

24" x 24" picture frames (matted to 11"x14") FAMILY ROOMYou had mentioned wanting a new side table by the couch, and a new rug in front of the chairs by the kitchen. I like these acrylic nesting tables because they don't take up any visual space. You can keep the tables together most of the time,but can separate them out if you need more table space when entertaining. The rug is in the same color tones as your current rug, but a bit more graphic. The grays in the rug would look good with the ... View the Post

Last week, I gave you a peek at the red and teal decor on our main level, but for today's tour, I'm thrilled to show you how a color ... View the Post

DIY Wood Plank Laundry Room Countertop

When we started planning our laundry closet makeover, I had my heart set on adding a countetop over the washer and dryer, and I found a laminate counter option I loved that looked like wood planks. But when I got the quote back, the price was WAY more than I wanted to spend, so I came up with a very budget friendly option to create the look of a wood plank countertop for under $100! Today I'm sharing the tutorial for this easy and affordable DIY countertop, which would also make a great ... View the Post

Organizing Kids’ Art Supplies with a Rolling Art Cart

Kids and art supplies seem to go hand. Whether they are flexing their creativity over the summer or completing their homework assignments for school, hardly a day goes by without one of my boys sitting at the kitchen table with crayons and markers. A few of years ago, I created an art cart to organize kids' art supplies in our kitchen, and this organizing project has definitely stood the test of time. This week, I’m joining 10 talented bloggers to help you get ready for the new school year. ... View the Post

One-Stop Shopping Holiday Gift Guide

Thank you to Office Depot for sponsoring this post. When I was a kid, I counted down to the holidays and time seemed to move so slowly it felt like we'd never get to winter break. As an adult, between running a business and parenting, it feels like I blink and the holidays have come and gone.  This year, I'm trying hard to slow down and simplify a bit so that I can really enjoy the season and create lots of memories with my own kids. It's easy to get overwhelmed by the holiday ... View the Post

Fun Ways to Encourage Kids to Read

My boys have toys, and toys, and more toys, but one of their favorite things has always been sitting down with a big pile of books. That makes me such a proud mom! I really hope that their early passion for books will turn into a life long love of reading, so I'm constantly looking for new ways to encourage them to continue reaching for books! I know that for some kids, books don't hold the same appeal, and, for some, they may even be a source of frustration. After talking with friends ... View the Post

How to Design a Shared Family Room and Playroom

Like many families, we spent much of our summer outdoors - exploring the mountains, walking to the park, and playing in the backyard. But now that fall is here and winter is right around the corner, we are spending much more of our family time indoors, specifically in our basement family room, which also serves as the kids playroom.  Today I'm sharing my five of my best tips for creating a shared family room and playroom that is comfortable and works well for the whole family.

{shopping for style} In Search of a Room Divider

Thanks for stopping by today because I need your input! Yesterday I showed you our "temporary" exercise room - temporary in that, when we set the room up, we knew it would someday be converted into a kid's bedroom. And now that day is almost here.  The exercise room will soon become Beckett's "big boy" room, leaving the question of what to do with our two large pieces of workout equipment - the elliptical machine and our stationary bike.  I've always envisioned that ...

Multitasking Tips that Create More Time For the Fun Things

This is a sponsored conversation written by me on behalf of Apollo Box. As always, all opinions and text are 100% my own and I only recommend products to you that I use myself and truly love. I get asked all the time how I manage to do everything. First of all... I don't! Not even close! That would imply that my house is always clean, the laundry is always done, and that I'm never writing blog posts at 2 a.m. to meet deadlines. None of those things are true. In fact, if you listen ... View the Post
