I am so excited to finally be sharing our process for making over our fireplace! It’s only been three years since we moved into our home, and I really did love the shiplap that we originally installed, but we were having too many issues with it to leave it up. We completed this project in…
Homeschool Organization with IKEA ALEX drawer units
I purchased our ALEX drawer units several years ago when we were short on space, and they’ve really been useful for keeping us organized over the years. Today I want to share how we use them to keep our homeschool materials organized and tucked away within our living room. Each of the units…
Thrift Store Art Find & Update & Reframe
I found this sweet print at a local thrift store for less than $2! It was a bit damaged, but for that price I knew I could reframe it (I also didn’t love the matting anyways). As soon as I brought it home, Audriana asked if it could go in her room, and she helped…
How We Filled our Large Gathre Advent Calendar
I cannot believe that Thanksgiving is just over a week away, and that December is in two weeks! I’ve been so excited to pull our advent calendar together, I haven’t even started “regular” Christmas shopping yet. I had better get on that! But on to the point of this post: our BEAUTIFUL Large Gathre Advent…

The Chalkboard of My [Homeschool Mom] Dreams
My homeschool mom dreams are coming true! ? We found this chalkboard years ago on Craigslist… it’s from the same local university where I got my degree! It used to be on a big metal rolling frame, but it wouldn’t fit in our new house that way. If you watch my Instagram stories you’ll know…
Our Homeschool Room: The Bookshelves
I could probably spend weeks in our homeschool room just tweaking all the books ha! There’s plenty left to organize, but at least they’re unpacked! I had no idea what I was going to do with our book stash when we moved (you might recall our built in desks/bookshelves we had in our last home)…
If You’re Happy & You Know It Wash Your Hands
If you’re happy & you know it wash your hands ???? No, this is not a Coronavirus PSA (though it definitely could be ?) These two cuties just love finding any excuse they can to wash their hands, aka play with bubbles so we’re rolling with it ??? Gov Reynolds announced last night that…
Setting Up Our Temporary Homeschool Space
I may have underestimated the time we’d be in our rental when we started the build process ?. I packed away all our decor and homeschool “extras” thinking the build would only take a few months… I failed to take into account how long it would take to actually get STARTED ?. …
