{faux pink peonies/gold vase/scalloped cake stand options here/here/here}
Happy Monday! It’s a new week and we are getting so much rain! I’m thrilled. We need it so badly. I don’t even mind the gloomy clouds. My pink peonies in the kitchen are cheering me up immensely. So is this gorgeous gold vase! Fun little Valentine’s Day touches. :)
{woven tray/eucalyptus wire wreath/white marble & wood round board/marble & wood small board/large rectangle board/marble & gold tray/gold mirror}
I really haven’t done too much decorating since Christmas because I’ve been working on getting certain spaces organized. I did spruce up my kitchen though.. just a few little things!
Picked up this beautiful woven basket/tray for fruit.
Also added this cute little eucalyptus wreath because I was missing the greenery from the wreath I had hanging here through the holidays. Just the touch of green I was craving. :)
Have you made a Target run yet this year? Or two or twenty? I feel like they have had so many cute home items lately! That store is downright dangerous.
1 landscape framed wall art 2 woven seagrass basket 3 resin table lamp
4 braided basket 5 round wood and wire tray 6 faux eucalyptus wire wreath
7 seagrass woven tray 8 dark gray striped napkins 9 braided straw basket
10 magnolia bath towels 11 stripe throw pillow 12 decorative ladder
13 wood & steel accent bench 14 woven seagrass basket with handles 15 marble box
I rounded up a few favorites after my last trip. So many great baskets for organizing and fun accessories!
Then the next week the new Studio Mcgee items came out and I wanted to snatch up one of everything! Seriously so many beautiful home items at great prices! My friend bought several of the pillows, this beautiful vase and this cute plaid rug for her living room so I snapped a pic to share.. looks so good! Below are my other favorites from the new collection. Some of the items have sold out, but you can add your email and get a notification when/if they come back in stock.
These cute striped towels I’m using in my powder bathroom were part of my last Target haul! Also we’ve been using this set of towels in our master bathroom (I shared them in December in my self care post) and really love them. They wash well and are so comfy and absorbent (I hate towels that don’t absorb water well!). I ordered another set for us and one for my girls bathroom too. I love finding good towels that don’t cost too much because I like to use them for about a year and then get a new set.
Last time I went to Target I asked Kenny if he wanted to come with me to pick up a baby gift for a friend. Of course I walked in the store and headed straight to the planner/school supply section. Then I wandered into the home decor section. Kenny was like “what are you doing.. why are you looking at that.. that’s not a baby gift.. do you really need another notepad and basket.. how much longer are you going to be!?” Ahhh! Just let me enjoy my Target run browsing and buying ALL thing things! Ha ha. What a rookie mistake asking him to come along! Won’t happen again. Luckily a client called him for work and he had to step aside to talk so I was able to enjoy some me time in the store and pick up all sorts of fun things that weren’t on my list. #saved
{chunky wool jute rug/everygirl planner/sugar paper products}
Always fun picking up a cute new planner, notepad and binder for the year. Just never gets old to me! Plus I plan better and am more productive with cute supplies. Anyone else? :) I’ve always really liked the simplicity of the everygirl planners/notepads and sugar paper products. More than anything I just need a good to-do list!
1 booty resistance bands 2 12 week fit journal 3 precise fine point pens
4 cards and stationary 5 exercise yoga mat 6 8lbs dumbbell / 5lbs dumbbell / 3lbs dumbbell
7 everygirl planner 8 resistance bands 9 dry erase calendar
Target also has the cutest gold dumbbells and fitness accessories if you are working on health/fitness more this year. I’m debating buying those gold dumbbells! If I plan better with a cute planner would I lift weights better/more with cute dumbbells? Seems like a question I need to explore. ;)
Of course if you don’t want to buy anything I have all sorts of fun, free planning pages in my printable library! I’ve updated my calendar pages for the year and they come with monthly to-do pages.
This is a favorite printable I fill out every January. I always feel overwhelmed this time of year because I have so many projects around the house I want to tackle! I love having a place to brain dump and organize all of my ideas.
This was my list last year and I did most of it! But not everything so I’m adding a couple of these things to my list this year with what feels like 200 more to-dos!
This current projects printable is another long time favorite because I love breaking overwhelming projects down into manageable steps.
I also have all sorts of planning page options so you can find one that works best for you! These are all free for my e-mail subscribers (thank you to all of my loyal readers.. so grateful for your support!). You can sign up and get access to all of my free printables HERE.
{color block turtleneck sweater/AG jeans/booties}
Totally switching gears and ending my post with a few fun things I’ve been wearing lately! This sweater is CUTE. Longer in the back and so cozy. I’m happy it’s cold enough to wear it again this week! Last weekend we had crazy warm weather for January.. 80 digress on the coast! It was fun for a weekend but I’m honestly not ready for the heat again. I love our mild winters. Cold enough to cozy up at home by the fireplace and wear a sweater but not TOO cold to really alter life much!
My kids certainly enjoyed the weather last weekend though! Lots of pool and beach time.
Now back to my fire. :)
{tie dye hooded sweatshirt/AG jeans/similar adidas sneakers}
This cozy tie dye hoodie is perfection! Slouchy and fun.. perfect for running around with jeans or days at home with sweat pants. Which let’s face it.. is still most days right now.
{lou & grey signature sweatpants/ugg slippers}
Speaking of sweatpants.. if you want a really good pair look no more! DYING at how perfectly perfect these sweats are! The fit/cut is really similar to my all time favorite Vuori joggers, but the material is thicker and warmer like sweats. They are a flattering fit and so comfortable that I’m getting them in black too. And I ordered this plush matching sweatshirt to go with them. Score because I’m living in stuff like this right now!
These velvet stripe pj pants are also cute & comfy and are on sale!
{cloud jersey heart sweatshirt/AG jeans/similar shoes here & here}
I’ve also been wearing and loving this cute heart sweater. It’s such a great fit and warm but not too hot. I thought it looked cute on-line but I like it even better in person. Comes in other styles too! I linked a coupe of similar shoe options (I’ve loved these black shoes for running around!) and also how cute are these black boots!? On my wish list!
Last but not least my cute heart two-tiered tray is back in stock! Fun for Valentine’s treats in the kitchen in February and then in the bathroom to hold perfume and nail polish during the rest of the year. :) (This PB tray is cute too.) I also think this three heart platter would be fun to use the same way. Could hold jewelry after you use it for Valentine’s candy! I linked them all below in this cute Valentine’s Day collage. Sharing it again if you need gift ideas! Two years ago I bought Ellie this heart ring for Valentine’s Day and she loves it and still wears it. :)

Do you know where your friend’s coffee table is from? I might be in love!
Hi Jane! I don’t but I’ll ask her tomorrow and let you know! :)
Erin – Thank you for sharing your cute and fun decorating ideas, and the printable project planners. I love the Williams Sonoma heart dish ❤️. Your flooring is beautiful! Would you mind sharing the brand/type that you used?
Thank you!
I love that heart dish too Debbie! So cute. I wrote a post all about my wood floors in this post after we moved in..

Fun post, Erin! You find lots of new goodies to dream about. I giggled when you shared Kenny’s reaction to your shopping. Yep, that was a rookie mistake. You gotta do stuff like that on your own. LOL My husband will have me go with him to some store then before I know it we are separated. He’s looking/shopping in a completely different part of the store! So why did you ask me to come along then, I wonder…LOL Wow, you guys did get warm. I keep thinking our mild winter so far here is much more like I remember growing up in CA. We’ve had a lot of 50s and 60s.,although we are getting a tiny bit of snow today and it’s going to be in the 30s. We will still get close to 60 by the end of the week. Tha’s practically flip flop weather here. Haha! I was going to say, I don’t remember the last Target run I did. I actually don’t shop there all that much. Do I have to turn in my mom card for admitting that?? My girls like shopping there more than I do. I’m a fan of hitting up the Michaels craft store right next to the Target. ;) Thanks for sharing the printables again. I might have to check them out and download a few. My planning routine can use a little boost. Have a great day, my friend!
Thank you Jeanne! Laughing because it has been in the high 50’s this week and we are all FREEZING! Such lightweights. ;) And I love that you don’t shop in Target! Wish I could have that kind of restraint! Ha. I hope your week is going well! xo
These are my favorite posts! :) The cute pink work-out items at Target are calling my name! Have a great day Erin!
So sweet of you Lisa – thank you! Cutest workout items.. right!? Calling my name too! :) xo
So many cute ideas! I love that eucalyptus wreath in your kitchen – such a simple touch, but adds that nice pop of greenery. And your planner pages are awesome – I just need to print some out and get to work!
One thing I need help with is arranging some florals I purchased late last year on clearance. Your vases (and your friend’s I noticed too) mainly hold one type of flower in one color, but I wanted to try to mix it up with several styles in one vase, and it ends up looking odd – too thick in the middle vs. the height. Maybe I should simplify to one type of flower, but seems like there should be a way! Anyway – just a thought for a future post to help me out, and maybe others too?
Thank you MaryJo! I’ll try to share some tips on that at some point! Although I’m by no means an expert on flower arranging. I usually just keep playing around with it until it looks right to me. Ha. ;)
Great! Also, I meant to mention – I follow the Blogilates gal who created those cute weights at Target! Her fitness videos are awesome!
Oh so fun! I’ll have to check her videos out! :)
Hello! What color is the bottom of your pool? The water looks perfect and we’re starting our pool in the Spring. Thanks!
OMG Erin! Never. Invite. Husband. To Target…… I blame it on the mask wearing
Ha ha.. right!? I SO know better! Without a doubt the masks. ;)
