PeoniesFlower CrownBaby Shower Tea FavorsOrganic baby itemsNose FridaI’m still enjoying these peonies around the house!

I’ll post a flower crown tutorial this week. LOVE how they turned out!

The tea favors are just too cute to open…but I must. So impressed and so humbled.

Got a LOT of baby gear organizing done this week. Looking at this cute baby stuff is pretty unreal.

Things like this Nose Frida is what I’ll be sipping but I’m also looking forward to a nice cocktail eventually. #reallife

Have a super weekend around people who love you, make you feel wonderful and inspire you to give your best back. XO

Linking up with The Lauren Elizabeth!

      Oh it is SO surreal to look at the little clothes! I get quite intimidated. Denial is still in full swing here, even withe the little crib next to our bed now! Yes, I’ve heard the Nose Frida is an essential. So cool! Kind of. LOL!

      LOL It’s another way to suck phlegm from a person’s nose. There is a filter so that you don’t suck anything into your own mouth/lungs. The bulb syringe is the traditional tool. This is one of those granola/more effective/natural methods. I’m digging it….maybe until I have to use it! HA!

      HA-YES The Nose Frida is totally from Sweden! It’s really popular here..among granola people that is. Tea just feels fancy, right? It’s quite “steeped” in tradition. bahahah. Enjoy your weekend too, Niina!

      Thank you so much, Olivia. I just started to really nest this week as it seemed too intimidating or unnecessary before now. I’m getting more motivated and prepared. Yes, I’m counting my blessings too! Have a wonderful weekend, Olivia!

It looked so bad but wasn’t sure if it was just cosmetic thing or something I should get checked out for my health.

I was avoiding it and “waiting until I had time” to deal with it as a mom of 4.

I finally made time and l’m so glad I did.

This was the start of my health journey at 45.

This makes our weekdays so much less chaotic, and I don’t feel like a scullery maid-I feel like I have a personal chef!

I get to focus my time and energy on connecting with the kids or taking a moment to rest. 

Throw these together really quickly this weekend for a smooth week. 

The mini meat loafies are a quick snack, packable lunch item or dinner main.

The turkey taco meat is so quick and you can make so many different dishes with it.

I like to cook my veggies day-of or have some washed and prepped in containers.

Have you considered a “pattern interrupt” element Have you considered a “pattern interrupt” element to design your space and make it stand out?

A design element that just doesn’t make total sense but adds the zest to the room that just makes it?

But why is it so hard to figure out the exact thing that will make your space special?

You’re an emotional decorator! You’re someone who walks into a room and knows she loves it but can’t explain why.

I’m here to help!

Part II of Translating what we love about this space-Nancy Meyers edition!

This iconic kitchen from It’s Complicated, is so funny because Jane is in the works to finally renovate to get her DREAM KITCHEN and we would all love to have this one as it is right now!

Why? 

Notice that there are layers of detail from floor to ceiling and even ceiling!

If you want your home decor to feel cozy, there’s nothing like decorating every surface.

Keep it neutral if too much business overwhelms you.
When I spotted this window shelf in the movie, I thought it would be the perfect way to add some interest to our very boxy dining room-my pattern interrupt.

All the moms at the mommy and me meetup looked so All the moms at the mommy and me meetup looked so amazing. I wondered what their secret was.

When was I going to bounce back like that?

Everyone was being vulnerable so when it was my turn I said, “I still can’t fit into my old jeans.”

One of the moms looked at me and said, “I just bought new jeans.”

I was shocked! She looked amazing!

I thought that if I bought jeans for my current “larger size” as in “not my ideal size,” it would mean I was settling for my current state that I didn’t want.

Then it hit me.

When you see yourself as worthy and do things that make you feel great-like new clothes that fit, your mind does something you’re not even aware of.

when your brain says, “I look cute” then you’re just going to continue to look better on a subconscious level. 

Why?

Your self image improves and when it does, you do things in alignment with a good self image like eating better or moving more or learning how to do your hair at its best!
