Chicago Trip: April 2021

June 8, 2021 Leave a Comment

I got the chance to go home and visit my Chicago family for the first time in over a year and a half. Out of everyone in my family the main focus of my trip was to see my Grandma. If you know me then you know I am the definition of a Grandma’s girl. She is my main girl. Going so long without seeing her was definitely the toughest part of this pandemic. However, as hard as it was to not see her, I am thankful for her continued health throughout this entire ordeal. I, unfortunately, know quite a few people who can not say the same regarding their loved ones this last year. Being able to give her a masked up huge hug multiple times is exactly what my soul needed.

Jordyn Is A 2nd Grader!

May 26, 2021 Comments : 2

Jordyn is a 2nd grader! We completed our first full year of virtual school, and although it had its challenges we made it through! I say we because being a teacher while also parenting a toddler isn’t the easiest job in the world LOL. However, as with everything, there were also pros like being able to wake up late. Jordyn could pick out her outfit to wear whatever we wanted. And we all we able to enjoy each other‘s company. Riley especially loved having Jordyn was home every day to play with and hang out. They are truly best friends and it’s adorable. Jordyn will be going back to school in person come fall and she’s looking forward to it as much as we are. I know she misses her friends and teachers.

What is better than sharing a meal with your military Dad who often travels for work? Being a military family means spending a lot of time away from family, but especially your military member. One way we’re Honoring Heroes, this Memorial Day is by creating lifelong memories between my husband and daughter, over delicious food.

Kitchen Decor & Details

March 16, 2021 Comments : 2

We’ve made it to the third Tuesday of the month which means another Transformation Tuesday is here. This week my transformation highlight in my home is the kitchen. Decorating a kitchen you can’t renovate from the bottom up can be difficult. This is why the kitchen decor and details matter in a space like this. Think of a color scheme you enjoy and try piecing together little details like the curtains to start.

Kids Playroom Makeover

March 9, 2021 Leave a Comment

Happy transformation Tuesday everyone! If you missed last week’s post, for every Tuesday in the month of March, I’m sharing a new transformation area in my home. I kicked off last week with my entry way makeover. This week is dedicated to the kids playroom makeover project. I say project because it has been many months of finding the correct pieces and I still have a few more details to add. Overall, the playroom is 95% complete, and I couldn’t be happier with the result.

Entry Way Decor & Makeover

March 2, 2021 Leave a Comment

March is here which means spring is right around the corner! We’ve almost made it through winter which is quite impressive when you consider 2021 is trying to out-do 2020. Whew, what a time to be alive. I decided this year one of my personal goals was to concentrate on more home decor. I found myself filled with ideas for every room, but never actually putting the pieces together in reality. For the month of March I’m going to share transformation Tuesdays for different places in my home. One of the first blank spaces I transformed was our front entry way area. The pieces for my entry way decor and makeover perfectly fell in place once I got going. It was meant to be!
