Dıy Home 2019

I have a height chart in our home that I show pretty frequently and always get so many questions about (I’ll show it below). The shop I got it from doesn’t sell them anymore, so I thought it would be fun to share a DIY version. If you’re not up for a DIY, there are also loads of options on Etsy. I am planning to give this to a friend who is about to welcome a new baby. It’s an incredible gift idea and such a treasure through the years with a growing family. Here’s our chart, which currently lives in Marigold’s nursery. You can see how quickly Nova is growing (gulp) and now we’ve started adding Marigold’s milestones to it as well. I love that these charts can move with you as you go, since a lot of people don’t live in the same home for the children’s entire childhood. I’ll toss it over to Collin now, who created this DIY for you all! Supplies:  -one 3/4″ x 5.5″ x 6′ poplar board –4″ home address numbers -miter saw or circular saw -drill or screwdriver -220 & 400 grit sand

Alrighty … so it’s time for my 10-month update on shopping only used clothing. It’s gotten both easier and more difficult for me to keep with my goal. Overall, I have loved the exercise and feel it’s made me a more thoughtful shopper, and for sure more minimal. I really feel it’s impacted the way I will shop for the rest of my life. I also love my clothing as a whole more than I have in years, which is the greatest feeling. For years, I had a closet full of clothing but felt I had nothing to wear. Now every single item in my closet fits and is something I am excited to wear. It’s also gotten much easier to stay in the habit of cleaning stuff out and letting things go that I love, but am not wearing. I would definitely say that the best part of this whole experience is creating better habits and feeling much less wasteful, both of my own time and money, and also with the waste associated with over-shopping. So many wins! Another thing—it’s been FUN. I really enjoy the hunt. And thoug

We went a little crazy with the Halloween decorations this year in preparation for our neighborhood (kid-friendly) haunted house that we are hosting. I especially went a little crazy with different ways to decorate with skeletons, so I just thought I’d share a few of those with you today. Although, as you can imagine, there are endless ways to use life-size skeletons around your house for Halloween. I think of them as the spooky cousin to “Elf on the Shelf.” Ha! I bought the vast majority of the skeletons and bones decorations at JOANN. I highly recommend shopping early (or late, like later this week I bet there will be great deals too) and downloading their app as it has really good discounts. We do work with JOANN from time to time, but this post isn’t sponsored—just wanted to share where I got my skeleton decorations in case you were curious. One – Bathroom Skeletons! I have a feeling this is going to be the most memorable part for a lot of kids who come through the haunted house
