First Day and a Console Table update
Ahhh! 6th, 4th and Kindergarten. First day of school! You guys. Monday was a sad day for me. First day of school is always hard but this year I woke up and thought about my baby boy going to Kindergarten and the crocodile tears started rolling before my eyes were even fully open and awake. I went in my closet and had a good cry and tried to get it out of my system. Wiped my eyes, woke the kids – got everyone dressed and fed and made lunches and did hair and put on my best smile and told them they were going to have a great first day. I was doing fine.

My parent’s new treehouse and a bit of organization
I have to share something so fun with you all today! My parents were just on the news in Utah talking about the treehouse they’ve been building in their backyard! It has been in progress for a while and I was going to take some pictures to share last time I was visiting them (remember when I helped with their new outdoor furniture!). But I decided to wait on the pictures until the treehouse is finished so those will be coming. My dad decided a few years ago that he wanted to build a treehouse for all of the grandkids and like most projects, this one kept getting bigger and better. We tease my dad that it’s actually more of a luxury guest suite for the kids than a treehouse. Ha! My mom was so bummed we couldn’t all be in town the weekend they filmed this. My two nephews who live by my parents are in the clip and the other two kids are the news anchor’s little ones. When they mention dedicating the treehouse when the out of town kids come, that’s us. :) We are going to have a dedication ceremony next time we are all in town together! I will take some pictures to share then, but for now here is a fun clip of my cute parents and their treehouse on the news!

Formal Living Room Progress!
Hi friends! Sorry for the crickets chirping over here on the blog this week. It has been a busy one for us! Summer is winding down and we are making the most of it. Lots to catch up on once I get my kiddos back in school. I have loved having them home more with me this summer, but I get nothing done! Nothing with a capital N! :) It will be nice to have some routine back in our days. Maybe then I’ll be able to knock out more than one post a week. ;) Continue reading “Formal Living Room Progress!”
Fashion Friday
Happy Friday friends! Yea! The weekend is upon us. This is the last weekend of the Nordstrom sale! Prices go back to normal Monday, August 3rd. My husband is so happy about that. ;) A couple of weeks ago I shared some of my purchases from the sale. I’ve been wearing what I bought and loving it all! So much that I ended up making a couple more trips to the mall. Hence the reason my husband is over the Anniversary sale. But I’m not so GEAR UP and grab a snack! This post is a book. In the picture above I’m sharing three of my favorite shoes I’ve recently purchased along with a peek of some master bedroom progress! Slowly that space is coming together.
But that’s a post for another day. :)

Friday Favorites – a shopping trip to World Market!
Happy Friday everyone! I hope you all had a good week. So excited about my Friday Favorites post today! I decided to take you all shopping with me. Fun, right? Do you like to shop? I love to shop. I’m a good shopper. My husband loves this about me.
One of the last three sentences might not be entirely true. I’ll let you figure out which one. :)
Anyway. Like I said, I love to shop. But I also love living in an organized home without clutter and items I don’t really love or need. So ever since I moved into the new house and started decorating I’ve developed a new shopping method. If I find things I really like but I’m not sure if they will fit or work or if I’ll still like them tomorrow, I just snap a picture with my phone. Then I can go home and measure or figure out where the item would work. If I think something will be a perfect fit, I can go back for it. This method also helps me to know if I really love something because if I do, I keep thinking about it. If I forget about it.. wasn’t meant to be.
Lately I have been loving World Market. (This post isn’t sponsored by them btw – I just really love that store!) It seems like a few years ago World Market was hit and miss for me, but lately I go in there and I want one of everything! I have to work hard to contain myself. On my last trip I took so many pictures that I was laughing! I practically photographed the whole store. I thought I’d share some of my favorite finds along with a few favorite items that I had pictures of in the past and then they eventually ended up coming home with me. :)

The first thing I spotted was this farmhouse chalkboard. I’m going back for this. I LOVE the frame and I found a fun spot for it. I keep thinking about it so I know it’s a keeper. :)
