Monthly Shopping Trip – Fave Five, August 2020

Monthly Shopping Trip – Fave Five, August 2020

Welcome Back, y’all! I am pumped to share my Fave Five from my Monthly Shopping Trip with you all. This month, I decided to niche down into one category for all of the items I’m sharing – bathroom items! And, unlike prior months, not everything is from Sam’s Club this month. Also, I have a tiny secret… not all of… Read More

IKEA BOAXEL Closet System Reveal

IKEA BOAXEL Closet System Reveal

Let’s talk about closet systems and organization, shall we?! We went to IKEA for the first time a couple of weekends ago. It was awesome and overwhelming all at the same time (you can read about it here)! The main reason we went was to get closet systems for our closets. We ended up getting the BOAXEL system for our… Read More

While being a landlord has its challenges at times, finding treasures left behind like this is a definite perk! I knew just by glancing at it that it was very cool and likely, a true vintage rug. I’m still looking… Read More

Old Basement Refresh, Phase 1

Old Basement Refresh, Phase 1

We started a major house renovation last fall. Part of that project allowed us to gain interior access to our old, original basement (our house was originally built in 1896!). Prior to the renovation, we only had access to it from the outside. That wasn’t very convenient. Now that we’ve created access from the inside of our house, we decided… Read More

There’s a lot that goes into a Monthly Shopping Trip (MST). It can definitely be overwhelming when you’re just starting out. After shopping this way for over a year… Read More

Big News!🎉 You can now purchase the seasonal Big P Big News!🎉 You can now purchase the seasonal Big Picture Calendar on Etsy! I've opened up my shop to reach a broader audience, and I'd love it if you clicked over to the listing to generate a bit of traffic for me as I get started!🥰 

A note 💌 for my local followers and customers: the listing on Etsy is for the base calendar, digital download, ONLY. I'll still be selling the customized printed versions directly, so that I can personalize to school district calendars and family schedules!🙌 

As I get going, I'll start adding more digital products to the Etsy shop! If you go over and visit the listing, thank you so much! Driving a bit of traffic to the shop early really helps (even if you don't make a purchase)! I appreciate all of you! 

I hope to show up again in stories in the future, but it has been a nice, reflective and productive break. Hope all is well with you and yours!
