summer dining (Sunny Side Up)

{minka textured pot}

Hello hello! It’s raining here again so I’m sharing this outdoor dining tablescape from last summer to add a little sunshine and brighten the day! Sunshine and warm weather and flowers and outdoor dining are coming. :)

Recent Fashion (Sunny Side Up)

{we the free perfect tee/lightweight joggers/similar sneakers}

{Walli Phone Case – 15% off any phone case with this link and type the code sunny at checkout!}

I’m sharing some recent fashion favorites today! Things I’ve been wearing and loving lately. These Amazon joggers are so good and a great price! Very light weight so perfect for spring/summer. I ordered my regular size and one size down because the reviews said they run big. Honestly both sizes work! The brown are a size small (my regular jogger size) and they work but are a looser fit.

Recent Fashion (Sunny Side Up)

 {cropped crew/everywhere belt bag/lightweight joggers/similar adidas sneakers}

This is the same jogger in black in xs (one size down for me) and they are just a more fitted fit. So order one size down if you want them a little more fitted and your regular size if you want a loose fit. The lulu cropped crews are another favorite that I’ve been living in!  The material is so soft. This outfit has definitely been on repeat.

Recent Fashion (Sunny Side Up)

{we the free perfect tee/colette cropped wide leg pants/large belt bag/similar open toe booties/chain bracelet set}

I’ve been branching out of my skinny jeans and trying different pants lately (thanks to a slight push from my teenage daughters). Ha. These wide leg cropped pants are seriously the best fit. So flattering in the back and I love the length for something fun and different. They come in other colors and I want more! I have a feeling I’ll be living in them with sandals when it warms up. They can be dressed up or down and are so cute either way. This is the large belt bag and I love it when I’m carrying my whole wallet and a few other things. I don’t always wear them in the front (a  lot of the time I just sling them around) but I love not carrying around a big bag when I’m just running to the grocery store and to pick up kids.

Recent Fashion (Sunny Side Up)

{conway pullover sweater/pilcro utility pants/similar rag & bone sneaker}

This sweater and these pants! 10 out of 10 for both! I love them together but I’ve worn the sweater with jeans and boots and these green utility pants work with everything. They are such a flattering fit! The sweater fits very oversize so order one size down. This is the xxs and it’s still big! But so cute and comfortable. The pants fit true to size (I’m wearing my regular jean size 26 for reference).

Recent Fashion (Sunny Side Up)

I recently wore this outfit to see the King Tut immersive exhibit. If you are in San Diego (or if it comes to your city) definitely check it out! It was so cool. I helped Kole with a huge end of year project on Egypt last May so I impressed everyone with all sorts of facts about the young Pharaoh’s life. Ha.

Recent Fashion (Sunny Side Up)

{similar long sleeve black tee/vintage wide leg pants/similar rag & bone sneakers}

These wide leg pants have been so fun to run around in! A cute, baggy fit and I love them with sneakers.

Recent Fashion (Sunny Side Up)

{similar long sleeve black tee/vintage wide leg pants/similar necklace here & here/similar black boots here & here}

They are cute with these black boots too and I know I’ll love them with sandals and spring tops when it warms up.

Recent Fashion (Sunny Side Up)

{curve-hem cardigan sweater/similar white tank/similar necklace/AG jeans/similar booties}

This cardigan sweater was a bit of a splurge. I tried it on before I looked at the price tag and that’s always a mistake! Ha. I loved it too much to pass up. I wanted a more fitted look so I bought my regular size (xs) but size up if you want a baggy look. The material is so beautiful in person!

Recent Fashion (Sunny Side Up)

{rib crop turtleneck/vintage wide leg jeans/similar rag & bone sneaker}

It has been COLD around here lately. Probably one of the coldest winters we’ve had (which I know isn’t saying much compared to temps for many of you!) but still.. I’m cold! This crop turtleneck has also been on repeat keeping me warm! These black jeans are the same wide leg fit as the Madewell pants above and are so cute and comfortable. I’m all about comfort most days! Which is why sneakers are on repeat too. :)

Recent Fashion (Sunny Side Up)

{similar pendant necklace/puff sleeve sweater/colette cropped wide-leg faux leather pants/chain bracelet set/similar open toe booties}

I bought these cropped wide-leg faux leather pants for the holidays and wore them to several Christmas parties. They are the same fit as the colette cropped wide leg pants and are just as flattering. I couldn’t love them more! I usually dress them up a little more and have worn them with heels and a dressy top to lots of dinner parties.

Recent Fashion (Sunny Side Up)

{Walli Phone Case – 15% off any phone case with this link and type the code sunny at checkout!}

I love this puff sleeve sweater too. So cute! Sorry for all the green in this post. Most items come in other colors but you know I can’t help myself. :)

Recent Fashion (Sunny Side Up)

{liberty sling bag}

Oh wait.. what’s that? You aren’t tired of green yet? Here’s one more.. :) A closer look at the liberty sling bag.

Recent Fashion (Sunny Side Up)

Love the front pocket that snaps .. easy access to your phone! Then a large zipper pocket to hold everything else. Comes in other colors too of course. But the strap on the green is so good right!? Couldn’t resist. :) They would make fun gifts for birthdays, Mother’s Day, graduations, etc. too.

Enjoy your day and I’ll be back with some fun organizing going down around here soon!

clean house (Sunny Side Up)

Well hello! Long time no post. :) Crickets have been chirping on the blog lately because the stomach flu hit our house. NOT good! First Addison, then me, then as soon as I was starting to feel better Kenny got sick. I’m not going to lie.. it was rough. Ha. Kole is the last man standing. Fingers crossed we are out of the woods and he doesn’t get sick! We’ve all had enough saltine crackers and Pedialyte to last a life time. Last year I got food poisoning over President’s Day weekend and landed in the ER so clearly the long February weekend is not my friend! I’m hoping you had a better week!

Our house was basically a disaster while we were sick so Friday I spent some time putting it all back together. I snapped these pics quickly with my cell phone after because it was the most productive thing I had done in a while and it felt so good. Clearly I haven’t been out much lately! So here are some bad lighting cell pics to say hey.. the house is picked up and I’m back. :)

{pb comfort roll arm couch/maggie rattan-wrapped stool/chunky wool jute rug}

I don’t think I ever shared how I styled things after the holidays and wasn’t planning on it since I’m going to change things up soon for spring, but here we are. I’ll leave some of these pillows up and add a few florals. Things are looking a little “fallish” with all neutrals right now so I’m excited to bring in some color!

clean house (Sunny Side Up)

{block woven square pillow/reed striped lumbar pillow}

I’m loving this large block woven square pillow! It’s not the softest to lay on, but I love the texture and pattern. Every other pillow is soft so we’re more than set on pillows to lay on. :) The reed striped lumbar is a long time favorite and comes in other colors.

Organization Solutions

*This post is sponsored by Wayfair. All product selections and opinions are my own!
Organization Solutions (Sunny Side Up)

I’m excited to share some organizing progress I’ve made here and there along with a few organizers from Wayfair I’ve been loving lately!

Organization Solutions (Sunny Side Up)

Over the past few years I’ve added more dishes to my collection, and when I was going through my kitchen during “kitchen week” of our organizing challenge, I knew I needed to figure out a solution for how to store them. I wanted to keep them all in the same cupboard but I was running out of room. I looked on line at Wayfair (they have so many great organizing solutions I’ve used throughout my home over the years!) and landed on these cabinet shelf helpers.

Organization Solutions (Sunny Side Up)

I’m obsessed! They have been a perfect solution.

Organization Solutions (Sunny Side Up)

They are sturdy, they look great, and they add an extra level of storage. I had most of these dishes stacked high on top of each other before, but aside from running out of room it was difficult for Kole to get plates out. Not a problem anymore!

Organization Solutions (Sunny Side Up)

I loved them so much, I ordered more and added these white shelf helpers to the cupboard that holds our drinking glasses. They are a perfect fit with this slender cupboard and added so much vertical storage!

Organization Solutions (Sunny Side Up)

I basically added two extra shelves. So nice when you’re short on space! Now I want to put these in every cupboard in my kitchen.

Organization Solutions (Sunny Side Up)

I did a quick clean out of the cupboards and drawers in my butler’s pantry and styled the shelves. That always feels good!

Organization Solutions (Sunny Side Up)

Organization Solutions (Sunny Side Up)

This wood-top stackable kitchen rack is another great option. I’ve had a few of these for years and have been using one on Kole’s bathroom counter for extra storage. I love the look of it, so aside from using it inside of pantries or cupboards, it also works well on a countertop to help free up space. I’m using it to hold a few smaller items in this cupboard at the moment. I got rid of everything I wasn’t using in these cupboards and it feels so good to have less!

Organization Solutions (Sunny Side Up)

This adjustable lid holder from Wayfair is another long time favorite! I’ve loved storing my pan lids in this cupboard. I only use them once in a while and it frees up so much space for my pots and pans.

Organization Solutions (Sunny Side Up)

My pantry is one spot I stay on top of, but I took 20 minutes to check expiration dates, toss a few older items, and straighten out some of the serving items I store here.

Organization Solutions (Sunny Side Up)

You all know I love OXO storage containers for food, and Wayfair has a huge selection of sizes. I’ve ordered several on line from Wayfair throughout the years to hold more food or replace older containers. They are hands down my #1 pantry staple!

Organization Solutions (Sunny Side Up)

I also love this turntable with adjustable dividers! You could use it in a bathroom also, but I’ve been using it in my pantry to hold oils and sticky items that I don’t like to store in my baskets.

Organization Solutions (Sunny Side Up)

It’s large and a little more heavy duty than most turntables and perfect for a pantry or for under a kitchen or bathroom sink.

Organization Solutions (Sunny Side Up)

When the pantry and fridge are clean and organized, it makes a huge difference for me mentally! Those are two spots I work hard to keep clean, and good organizers really help. So does having a husband and kids who put things away where they go. After years of nagging, I think we are (for the most part) there. In those two spots anyway!

Let’s not get too excited. Ha.

Organization Solutions (Sunny Side Up)

Last but not least, these are long time favorite baskets from Wayfair that I love for organizing! They are a perfect size (tall but not too tall!) to use inside of closets and cupboards for storage. I have these baskets in my master closet.

Organization Solutions (Sunny Side Up)

I have these baskets in my girls’ closets and in a few bathrooms. I also love the handles on all of these baskets because they are perfect to hold a label clip!

Organization Solutions (Sunny Side Up)

You’ll be seeing more of both of these baskets in future posts. :)

Those are a few organizers I’ve been loving lately and below I rounded up even more organizers I love from Wayfair. They are all so good! Want to know the real secret to getting organized?

Pair each of these items I’ve shared today with a little bit of consistent nagging and you will be set for life.

4- closet system organizer  5-basket set   6- mug tree

{tulip sleeve top/pilcro utility pants/similar sandals}

Happy Sunday! I hope you’re having a good weekend so far! Today was cloudy and chilly but I’m willing it to be spring by pulling out my short sleeve blouses and sandals! Think it will work? Or will I just be really cold? :)

I’m also staring to pull out some early spring decor! Just can’t wait one more day. I had too much fun putting this arrangement together for my dining nook table. This is the larger size of the 2 tray set I recently shared in this post. (It’s sold out at the moment at Mcgee but I think this is the same set!) I also linked similar options above.) The frida vase is new this year and it’s so much fun. I love the size and texture and it’s on sale right now! I also can’t recommend these white tulips enough. They are absolutely beautiful in person and so realistic.

5- pink cherry blossom   6-tulips   7-dried flowers   8- leaf branches

1- purple tulips   2-coral tulips

3-yellow tulips   4- white tulips

The Afloral tulips (while very realistic) are a little pricey so I wanted to share another great option for less. One of my friends recently bought these tulips above and they are also beautiful! The different colors are fun too.

1-leather decorative boxes   2-black leather boxes

3-rattan boxes   4-fabric boxes   5-leather box   6- grid pattern boxes

Display boxes are such a fun shelf accent. They are also great for storing items you don’t want sitting out so they organizer in me especially loves using them for decor. :) I rounded up some favorites!

 

1-summer dress   2- spaghetti strap dress   3- tank dress   4-black dress

5-flutter short sleeve dress   6-striped dress   7-  ruffle black dress

Mcgee & Co kicked off their President’s Day sale early with up to 25% off! I rounded up all of the Mcgee & Co items I have in my home. Most of them I have shared before so you will recognize them quickly. :) It’s definitely a pricey store so I always wait for the big sales they do like this one when I have something on my wish list!

Happy Friday! I’m popping in with a cute idea for Valentine’s Day! Or really for anytime you want to feel the LOVE and share it with others. :)

{LOVE plates}

I landed on the cutest LOVE letters from Amazon! I think this exact set might have sold out (hopefully it comes back in stock!) but I found LOTS of similar options. (LINKED after these pics!)

Another excuse to buy Valentine’s Day candy? Don’t mind if I do. :)

Isn’t this a fun display for a February get together!? I prefer candy (it’s all about the Sweetarts for me) but you could fill these LOVE letters with vegetables or popcorn and nuts or really anything you want!

In other news if you are organizing with me (challenge details here) we are tackling bedrooms this week! This isn’t my bedroom. :) I’m a little behind sharing progress and I’m still stuck in closet week and might just be stuck here forever.. ha. BUT my mudroom that was a hot mess is now clean. Progress! Love how my locker was actually the messiest. I totally let things go in December.

LOVE letters (Sunny Side Up)

More “befores.” Not awful but in need of a good clean out. The drawers really needed to be vacuumed too. Usually my kids clean their own lockers but I just wanted to GET IT DONE one morning and knocked it out quick.

Then I added this basket for my socks. I’ve been doing this for Kole for years and realized I could use a sock basket myself! I’m always frantically running out the door to pick someone up and then realizing I need socks and running back to my closet on the other end of the house. Now if I’m picking up kids or going to the gym I have socks ready to go! It’s the little things for me. :)

LOVE letters (Sunny Side Up)

Addison is currently loving life with TWO lockers and drawers since El is gone.

LOVE letters (Sunny Side Up)

{weave basket set}

Kole’s sock basket.. going strong since he was 6 years old! Do you keep kids’ socks and shoes by the door? In our previous house (before we had a mudroom and lockers) I kept shoes on shelves in our garage. (Talk about a post from the early days!)

Anything that will help us get out the door quicker is a win in my book!

I’m still loving my jute runner in this space! It’s soft but durable and perfect for a high traffic spot. (Sorry the only current pic I have with my lockers closed is from the holidays!)

LOVE letters (Sunny Side Up)

{black magnolia jute rug}

In other rug news this beloved runner just came back in stock! I really love this runner and it also comes in other sizes (my friend has it in her son’s bedroom). I had it in my kitchen all last year and it’s currently in my laundry room. (Mine is the 2’4 x 7.) It sold out so quickly so I’m thrilled they brought it back for those of you who have asked about it!

Enjoy your weekend! I’ll be back with some fun finds and sales soon! And hopefully a clean closet or two. Wish me luck!

It’s all about the candy reward after for me.

Kitchen Styling (Sunny Side Up)

{heart door garland/heart tree garland/red plaid rug/heart home mat/cypress trees/baskets}

Valentine’s Day is a week away! Sending some love your way. ;) Our porch is feeling festive for February. I used the same decor as last year and while I’m always sad to say good-bye to my winter trees I’m excited for an early spring porch re-fresh at the end of this month!

Can I make a confession since we’re talking about the current state of my porch?

Kitchen Styling (Sunny Side Up)

I still have my reindeer up. My friends who have stopped by have been laughing and giving me a hard time about them. Ha. My reindeer are still up not because of laziness but because I’m just not ready to take them down. I said to Kole the other day pulling in from school..

“What do you think bud? Should we take the Christmas reindeer down now that it’s February?”

“I don’t know.. I kind of like them.”

“I like them too.. let’s leave them up a little longer.” 

We smiled watching their twinkling lights quite pleased with our decision and then pulled into the garage.

Every year after the holidays there is usually one thing I’m not ready to take down that I leave up until March. Sometimes it’s a Christmas tree. One year it was my kids’ Santa pictures on the wall. This year it’s the reindeer.

I’m tricky like that.

I know you’re all fascinated by this story and so sad that it’s time to move on..

Kitchen Styling (Sunny Side Up)

{set of two woven trays/sandy terracotta vase/olive branches/gold mirror vanity tray}

I’ve been focusing on getting my home organized lately so I haven’t done much decorating, but I did style my favorite olive branches with a few different vases for fun! I can’t decide which look I love best because all of these vases are so good. I got this set of two woven trays for Christmas and they are gorgeous! This is the smaller tray on my island and I have the larger tray on my kitchen table. I tried different heart bowls but like the way this gold mirror vanity tray looks best.

Kitchen Styling (Sunny Side Up)

{porcelain white bowl/large wooden heart bowl/medium wooden heart bowl/white wash heart bowl/heart shaped cutting board/gold mirror vanity tray/heart tray with gold lining}

I shared it earlier with these cute heart bowl options. Bring on the holiday candy! Cadbury eggs will be here before we know it. A dangerous thought for both me and my jeans.

{minka textured pot/set of two woven trays/olive branches/gold mirror vanity tray/hanover kitchen pendants}

This is option #2! Same arrangement but with my beloved minka textured pot. Did you know this fun pot now comes in large sizes big enough for plants? It comes in black now too. Be still my heart.

{set of two woven trays/tall terracotta vase/olive branches/gold mirror vanity tray/hanover kitchen pendants}

And option 3 with this beautiful tall terracotta vase. I shared this earlier in the collage below. It looks like a vase from PB for twice its price. GO Target. Do you have a favorite of the 3 vases styled this way?

1- gingham table runner   2- gold flatware   3- tall vase

4- white vase   5- dinner plates   6- olive leaf arrangement

7- natural plate charger   8- tall tumblers   9-jute runner

In other news there are still a few sizes left in this beautiful heart sweater on sale!

weekend favorites and sales (Sunny Side Up)

    {puff sleeve sweater/ugg slippers}

Also I shared this top in my last post and got some questions about my lip color! I’ve been asked that before so thought I would just share it on the blog. It’s all Mac – a long time favorite combo I came up with and have loved for years. :)

Lip liner: Mac “Plum”

Lip stick: Mac “Hug Me”

Lip gloss: Mac Lipglass “Nymphette” – my all time favorite gloss! I also have and love “Oyster Girl” for a more neutral gloss. I guess that shade went viral on social media and has been a hit ever since! The colors look different on than they do when you look at the color on-line (Oyster Girl looks so pink on-line but is actually a neutral that blends with your lipstick and mostly adds shine).

If you were only going to buy one item I would go for the Mac Lipglass! It’s so pretty in every shade.. you really can’t go wrong.

Reindeer approved!

They are tricky like that.

Happy Sunday! I hope you’re enjoying your weekend! We’ve had a busy week and I’ve been project focused! Getting lots done around here and it feels so good. I’ll share updates soon! I’m especially excited about getting some of my closets in order. I’m slower to share progress from my organizing challenge here on the blog because I’m doing it real time with you so progress is coming. I also had the opportunity to share organizing tips at a church activity last week so I’ll share those soon too! Always a good night when organizing is the topic of choice. :) This sweater is a new favorite (so cute and I love the sleeves!). We only had one day last week that it was warm enough to wear it. I’m clearly getting anxious for spring!

Speaking of spring.. I landed in PB after returning something at the mall (crazy how that just seems to happen right?) and they had so many cute things! This first collage is basically my wish list this spring (other than the drink ware collection I already have and the light fixture similar to mine – love them both!).

Enjoy your Sunday! Are you planning on prepping meals and writing a plan for the week and laying out gym clothes for your Monday morning workout?

Or just vegging out in front of the TV in sweats all day?

I’ll probably be somewhere in-between because I’m all about balance.

And scallop bowls and bunny sherpa pillows.

bath mats (Sunny Side Up)

{texture rib bath mat/ivory decorative tray/artisan vase/faux tree branches}

Happy Sunday! I have a FUN round-up of weekend favorites and sales for you today! I mentioned ordering some new bath mats just to use until I found something I loved but now I’m loving these so much they will be staying for a while.

bath mats (Sunny Side Up)

{texture rib bath mat}

They are SO soft to step on and stay in place. I love this light grey in our bathroom and I ordered the white rugs for my girls’ bathroom too because they are on sale for just $23! Too good to pass up.

Amazon vest (Sunny Side Up)

I shared this cute crop puffer vest earlier that I found on Amazon. It’s on sale for almost half off at the moment!

Amazon vest (Sunny Side Up)

{similar ribbed turtleneck/crop puffer vest}

I hurried and ordered it in cream and green too. I’ve really been loving this vest because it has been cold here and this extra layer is perfect on chilly days. Plus it’s just CUTE and adds a little something to almost everything I put on. I love the green vest with a cream turtleneck.

All Things Heart! (Decor & Snacks)

*affiliate links used
Heart Decor (Sunny Side Up)

{red heart spoon rest/pink heart spoon rest}

Happy Friday! Sharing ALL the hearts today! Which is kind of funny because when I was young I didn’t like hearts. Ask my mom.. I was always kind of anti heart. Ha. I didn’t like hearts on my clothes or jewelry or toys or anywhere really. Then I had kids and my girls LOVED Valentine’s Day and they wanted hearts on everything.

I guess somewhere along the way they grew on me. :)

Isn’t this spoon rest cute!? I’ve been loving it and wondering how I’ve been living w/o a spoon rest for so long! It comes in a pink too and when I went to order it for spring I saw both had sold out at Nordstrom. I did a little digging and found them on Amazon! Same price but both still in stock. Then I went down a rabbit hole looking at other cute spoon rests and there went my focused work time. Oops. One of my goals this year is not getting sidetracked during work hours. It’s an issue! Obviously there’s still some improvement needed in that area. :) But aren’t these spoon rests cute!?


Heart Decor (Sunny Side Up)

{Walli Phone Cases – 15% off with this link and type the code sunny at checkout!}

I got a new iPhone for Christmas and ordered these two cases. Black hearts I’m especially loving and the other case is the same as my last case on my previous phone. I love the pattern so much I wanted it again! These cases are my favorite because of the finger loop and the spot for a credit card or two! So handy when I don’t want to take my whole purse. I love them when we are traveling too because I use the pocket for our room card! Then I always have it with me and we don’t lose it. If you’re looking for a new phone case you can get 15% off any Walli case using my link and the code sunny!   They come in so many cute colors and patterns. I’m a fan!

Heart Decor (Sunny Side Up)

{heart sweater}

I could not love this sweater more! It sold out so fast at Nordstrom but I found it here already marked down and then an additional 70% off with code YOURPICK. Such a steal for this beautiful sweater!

Heart Decor (Sunny Side Up)

Here it is with a little front tuck. Cute either way! It fits true to size (this is xs). Kenny and I have dinner plans with some friends for Valentine’s Day and I’m excited to wear it!

Heart Decor (Sunny Side Up)

{kitchen sources}

I had fun playing around with my heart bowls this week!

Heart Decor (Sunny Side Up)

Here are some fun ideas if you or your kids are having friends over in February! I love throwing together treats like this for a family movie night too. Or date night! I’ve been collecting cute heart bowls for a while now and they make it so easy. Just add pink and red candy and cookies and you’re ready to party.

Heart Decor (Sunny Side Up)

{porcelain white bowl}

I bought this cute porcelain white bowl in a set of two. There are so many fun ways to use them. Especially perfect for our stand-by favorite of popcorn and m&m’s. :)

Heart Decor (Sunny Side Up)

{large wooden heart bowl/medium wooden heart bowl/white wash heart bowl}

Wooden bows always look good holding treats and they can double as cute decor on coffee tables, end tables and the kitchen island. I linked 3 of my favorites above! (These will all be linked at the end of my post too!)

Heart Decor (Sunny Side Up)

{heart shaped cutting board}

This little heart shaped cutting board is the cutest! Perfect for a few cookies and some candy.

Heart Decor (Sunny Side Up)

 {gold mirror vanity tray}

I love this gold mirror vanity tray too. I’ve been using it in my kitchen but it would also be beautiful in a bathroom holding perfume or jewelry.

Heart Decor (Sunny Side Up)

{heart tray with gold lining}

Love the gold lining in this little tray/bowl! I’ve got snacks DOWN. Not so healthy snacks..

Fridge Organization (Sunny Side Up)

{fridge organization}

and healthy snacks. They are my thing. Full on meals? Not so much. Can’t we just live on strawberries and yogurt and popcorn and chocolate kisses? That will be my meal plan when I have no kids at home! I’m going to lay my ovens to rest (they’ve never liked me anyway) and carry on with my snacks. ;)

Heart Decor (Sunny Side Up)

{faux fur heart shaped rug}

Hearts are popping up in my bathrooms too per usual this time of year. :) Here is that cute pink heart rug I shared earlier. So fuzzy and soft to step on! I used my favorite rug  pad grippers to hold it in place.

Heart Decor (Sunny Side Up)

I’m just torn on pink..

Heart Decor (Sunny Side Up)

{white faux fur heart shaped rug}

or white this year! Which is your favorite? I like the pop of color with the pink but the white adds an elegant vibe. Definitely one of the more fun decisions to make in life right?

Heart Decor (Sunny Side Up)

My favorite tassel towels are on sale this weekend! (Everything at Serena & Lily is 20% off!) They are so beautiful and come in a white and blue too.

Heart Decor (Sunny Side Up)

{cherry blossoms/white terracotta vase/pitcher option/eucalyptus and sage candle/marble coaster/similar round rattan tray here/here}

I styled my Amazon cherry blossoms in this white terracotta vase and love the way they look in this space! I like the white/light pink shade of flowers for this time of year. Ready for spring but not quite spring but thinking about spring.

Did I mention I’m ready for spring?

Heart Decor (Sunny Side Up)

{woven tissue cover/woven soap pump/similar marble pedestal here/here/tassel towels}

This cute woven tissue cover and woven soap pump complete the look! I bought those in August when we were styling Ellie’s dorm so now every time I see them I think of that week! Makes me smile because we were living on Chick-fil-A and made 15 Target runs together. Ha.

Heart Decor (Sunny Side Up)

On a sidenote.. I landed on this post about El leaving for college the other day and re-read all of your sweet comments. I think I’ve read them all 5 or 6 times now! I wasn’t able to respond to all of them but I can’t tell you how much your uplifting words meant to me during that first season with her gone. They still mean a lot to me today! It’s so nice as a mom to just know you’re not alone with the hard feelings. :) Thank you for your constant friendship, kindness and support!

Heart Decor (Sunny Side Up)

Well! That wraps up the bathroom tour. I didn’t mean to get all sappy. Blaming it on the heart rugs.

Heart Decor (Sunny Side Up)

{cozy love pajama top/cozy love pajama bottoms/ugg slippers}

I’ll be back soon with some fun weekend finds! Planning on living in these pjs all weekend.

Heart Decor (Sunny Side Up)

{women’s fleece lounge sweatshirt/women’s fleece lounge jogger pants/ugg slippers}

Unless I’m wearing these. (The heart top came back in stock in some sizes!)

Heart Decor (Sunny Side Up)

{women’s fleece lounge sweatshirt/women’s fleece lounge jogger pants/ugg slippers}

Or this same pair in green. I’m pretty covered in pajamas! Just ask my husband. With so many options out there he’s thrilled about my selection of Valentine’s sleepwear.

Could I BE wearing anymore clothes!?

Ha ha..

Who am I quoting? One of my favorite episodes. ;)

Fridge Organization

Fridge Organization (Sunny Side Up)

We are organizing our kitchens this week! How is it going!? I didn’t have much time Monday or Tuesday but I’m definitely going to find an hour today to tidy some drawers and cupboards. I’ll share my progress soon! Let’s kick things off with fridge organization because that is a hot spot in most kitchens! It’s a space that constantly needs to be maintained and I’ve really struggled to keep mine organized. You might remember last summer when my fridge looked like this. Yikes. It usually isn’t this bad, but with kids home and travel it was a mess for months! I knew I needed a better system in general and finally figured out something that works.

Fridge Organization (Sunny Side Up)

Phew! Remember this before and after!? SO MUCH better. Part of the reason I have struggled to keep my fridge organized is because our fridge shelves are shallow and a lot of organizers don’t fit and work. I ordered these clear containers from the Home Edit collection at Walmart (love their products!) and you guys.. I have been obsessed ever since! Honestly they have been the best solution for our fridge!

Fridge Organization (Sunny Side Up)

I started in the summer with a combination of these narrow bins and these food storage containers and couldn’t love them more! They come in 3 different sizes and all stack so nicely on top of each other. The lids seal so tight and I love that they are so narrow! Perfect to save space in a fridge or pantry. You can buy this 3 piece set with one of each size OR buy them in groups separately which is what I did. You can order a pack of 4 large canisters, a pack of 4 medium canisters, and/or a pack of 6 small canisters.

Fridge Organization (Sunny Side Up)

Has my fridge stayed organized since this little summer makeover? Honestly while it doesn’t always look THIS perfect, yes! These organizers have been a game changer for me. It takes a little more time right after a grocery store run and if I’m busy right when I get home, I’ll pull out organizers that are empty or need to be rinsed out and set them by the sink, toss our groceries in the fridge and then when I have 20 minutes later in the day I’ll wash produce and put everything inside of the containers. It’s so worth it to me to take time to do this! Not only because my fridge looks clean and organized (which I love!) but because we all make healthier choices when snacks are washed and cut and ready to eat. Plus I can fit a lot more food in my fridge when it’s organized like this.

Fridge Organization (Sunny Side Up)

{bento box food storage container/pack of 2 large food storage containers/pack of 3 medium food storage containers}

I’ve been so happy with these organizers that I couldn’t wait to order the new options Home Edit released! They now have large and medium clear containers (perfect for meals/leftovers) and my personal favorite.. a bento box container! SO GOOD. I’ve shared before how I like to prep healthy snacks to grab when I’m working or going to be in my car for a while. I usually add a hard boiled egg, turkey and some fruits and veggies. On busy days it’s my lunch! They are perfect for my kids to grab to eat after school too. I usually make a few without eggs for Ad. :) #allergies  Over the weekend I made a grocery run and got these snacks ready. I added yogurt with blueberries and strawberries in one too. Here are the containers with lids off.

Fridge Organization (Sunny Side Up)

And with lids on and sealed! Ready to be stacked in the fridge.

I took this picture the day after I got food ready and my crew had already eaten a lot of the food in the large containers so they are looking a little empty. Ha. The large size holds a lot of food!

Fridge Organization (Sunny Side Up)

{egg containers}

Looks like I need to go back to the grocery store for some new ketchup! :)  Confession: I have been very anti egg organizer in the past. I’ve always thought it was so dumb to transfer eggs to a clear container because you need to be able to see the expiration date. Also I don’t like to organize JUST to make my home pretty. I want my home to be functional overall! Functional and pretty. :) But I finally caved and bought this set of 2 clear containers because my boys have been eating more eggs in general and with these organizers I can keep them in our fridge door stacked! It saves so much space because the eggs we’ve been buying at Costco come in a large, bulky container that just takes up too much precious space in my fridge. The eggs on the top right are separated because they have been boiled. I added a little sticker on the side and wrote the expiration date on it and now I’m done rolling my eyes at egg organizers. Ha! #swayed #neversaynever

Fridge Organization (Sunny Side Up)

I’ve always been able to keep my pantry organized but my fridge was another story. I can finally say that my fridge is organized and staying that way!

Fridge Organization (Sunny Side Up)

This is real life and it never looks exactly the same. The difference is that now I have containers that I love in a variety of sizes that I can use for what I need and stack to save room. If we have leftover pizza one night and I want to put it on a plate, I’ll pull out a couple of my containers. OR put the pizza slices in the large container. I’ve finally figured out our system! I’m a happy girl. :)

Fridge Organization (Sunny Side Up)

Now let’s all get going on our kitchens! I’m going to set a timer for 20 minutes today and just work fast and see how much I can get done!

Cheers to awesome containers, healthy snacks and all things organized!

Life is about the little things.

weekend favorites (Sunny Side Up)

I hope you’re having a good weekend! Kenny and I hit the ground running this morning and have been going non stop! A fun and busy day that included lunch and dinner with friends and lots of kid activities in-between including Ad’s Prom! Her friends all met at our house to get ready and they all left excited and looking so beautiful! It brought back so many memories (that feel like 15 minutes ago) of heading to my own high school prom with my girlfriends and this guy. I should have warned them to choose their dates carefully. You never know! That hot prom date could end up being your husband of 25 years before you blink. ;)

{crop puffer vest/dish brush/rug grippers/barstool floor protectors/white tulips – bundle of 5/frida vase/dried natural german statice/glazed terracotta vase}

How did laundry organization go this week? My laundry rooms were mostly organized so I focused on our mudroom and one closet. Feels so good to have done! I’ll share my progress soon! Today I’m popping in with my weekend favorites and sales. I had a good mail day yesterday! Some of the flowers I ordered finally came in, along with a cute vest and my favorite dish scrubbers, rug grippers and barstool leg covers. I’m replacing a few often used favorites! The tulips are SO good. Honestly the most realistic I’ve ever bought/owned! I pulled out this cute grey frida vase I ordered about a month ago and love the tulips in it. I just need one more set of 5 because the mouth is wide. The dried flowers are beautiful too. They are shorter than I thought they would be and a little messy, but they look so good in a vase! I’ll share everything styled soon!

weekend favorites (Sunny Side Up)

{crop puffer vest/leggings here & here/similar rag & bone sneakers here & here}

This is what the vest looks like on. It’s a hot item this winter and I can see why! So cute and comfortable and I love the neck! It’s thick and soft and keeps my neck warm, but doesn’t make my hair stick out in the back like it does with most vests and hoodies. I’m wearing it with a cropped top and leggings but it would be cute with a longer top under it and jeans too! Comfy to run around in and it comes in lots of colors.

1- bath rug   2-hand towel   3- bath towel

After I organized my bathroom I ordered these rugs to try! They are a little small for my space, but I think they will work for now. I haven’t seen anything large I like as much! These towels are long time favorites so I picked up a few more of those too. I love starting a new year with new towels in the bathroom!

1-  linen textured pillow   2- linen pillow   3-soulful pillow   4- neutral pillow

I always love neutral pillows but especially this time of year! These all come in different shades and are great basics that will be easy to layer with prints in the spring.

1-love straw tote   2-be mine tote

3- salty as a beach   4- sunrise tote   5- tropic straw tote

Before I shared this straw tote a couple of weeks ago that said Sunny Side Up so many of you reached out and told me about it! I ordered it and then it went out of stock so thanks to everyone who sent me a link. :) It’s such a cute collection! These are other fun options. It will be beach weather before we know it right!? Or at least Spring Break!? Never a bad thought when it’s mid January.

We are organizing kitchens this week! I’m ready. I have a few drawers that need to be vacuumed and straightened and a few things I’m switching around. The kitchen is one spot I love having organized so I’m excited to make some progress in that space. Enjoy the rest of your weekend! We can tackle ALL the things on Monday. ;)

We are tackling laundry rooms this week! Woot Woot! Get excited. :)

Laundry Room Organization (Sunny Side Up)

You might remember last year when I did a complete overhaul on our main floor laundry room. When we designed our house I was excited to have all of the extra storage in this space, but I quickly realized that more space just meant more room for piles and clutter! This laundry room became a total dumping ground and was a catch all hot spot in our home for years. I finally set aside a week to work on it and I’m so grateful I did! I’ve been able to keep it organized ever since and now this space is so functional and full of useful storage for our family. You can see the complete breakdown of this organization project in this post.

Below are some fun before and afters for inspiration!

Finally got all of my candles in one spot! Which made me realize that I had way too many candles. I gifted a lot of these this year and now have room for more. ;)

So good right!? I still love opening this cupboard and seeing all of my labeled bins!

Everything in this spot just makes sense now! Especially having Kole’s swimsuits here so he can wear them out to swim and then I can wash them and toss them back in this bin. Saves both of us many trips up and down the stairs.

This lightbulb spot was a disaster for years after we built our house! I’m not scared to enter anymore. :)

Laundry Room Organization (Sunny Side Up)

Like I said, this post has even more pictures and details on how I organized this room! This project wasn’t easy and the “during” certainly wasn’t pretty, but so worth every minute spent!

Here are a few tips for the week if you are working on your laundry space..

– pull everything out of the room!
– touch each item and place it in a sack or pile
(keep/donate/trash/re-locate)
– wipe out/clean drawers, cupboards, shelves
– categorize the “keep” pile
(laundry supplies, storage, etc.)
– place items back in drawers, cupboards, shelves
– label any clear containers
– toss socks w/o a match
– clean out the washing machine (Google how to do this with your machine!  I just cleaned ours out a few months ago.. not a fun job but so nice to have done!)
– vacuum the lint trap
– use bins/baskets to sort dirty clothes (lights/darks/towels)
– establish a routine for laundry & get the family on board!

– add flowers/decorate (make it a happy space!)

When it comes to keeping up with the actual laundry my number one tip is to have a set routine in place! It should be whatever works best for you and your family! I started doing one load a day years ago and it works so well for me! I don’t have a well established, long morning routine like a lot of people do. I like to sleep until I HAVE to wake up with the kids.. ha. But once I’m awake I splash some water on my face, do some quick stretches in my bedroom, and then I toss in a load of laundry! Then I head to the kitchen to get breakfast going and help Kole get out the door. (Addison has already left before we even wake up because she has an early morning class.) After I get Kole to school I put that load I washed into the dryer and then I get ready and start my work day. (I exercise in the evenings now!) I usually fold and put away the clothes later in the afternoon or evening (whenever I have a break!). Now that my kids are older they do all of their own laundry which feels AMAZING. I trained them young (another tip moms!) and they do everything from start to finish. I just help with their towels and sheets. Tuesday is my main cleaning day so that’s the day that I always wash sheets and towels. I rotate weeks for sheets (downstairs sheets one week and the upstairs sheets the next) and then I wash all of the towels every week. Other than in the summer when I feel like I’m washing pool towels every day. :) With this system I’m usually pretty caught up on laundry by Friday so I don’t do much over the weekend.  For me it has always been so much easier to do a load of laundry a day vs. spending one whole day doing laundry, but I know for some families that might not be the case! Try different systems and figure out what works best for you.

Aside from laundry spaces this week is also a great time to tackle whatever your shoe/drop zone looks like! Whether that’s your entry, a full mudroom or hooks and a shelf. I’m organizing our mudroom lockers this week and can’t wait to have that done. They are a little scary at the moment. :)

Keep going! Don’t worry about perfection.. just focus on progress and don’t quit! We’ve got this. :)
