Entryway Remodel

From the moment we decided to put an offer on our house, I was set on getting rid of the entryway closet. I grew up in a no-shoe home and planned to continue that with my kids, and the closet didn’t seem ideal. Besides, I liked the idea of a more open entryway.

We got the keys on a Friday, and Saturday my dad tore out the closet while my husband ripped up the carpet. To be honest, I can’t even remember the house with the closet, and I only have two pictures of it. My dad put up drywall and mudded everything, and even with the obvious signs of construction, it looked a ton better!

“Homemade” Halloween Costumes

This post contains affiliate links. I get commissions for purchases made through these links.

I was never really into Halloween costumes. I felt silly dressing up and hated the attention. Now that I have kids, I get excited about it! I personally love “homemade” costumes. I don’t mean every stitch has to be sewn at home. I just mean costumes that are put together by the person and not just bought all together at the store.

There’s nothing wrong with store bought costumes, of course. I just love the creativity and uniqueness that comes with putting a costume together. Plus, I love not wasting money, and when you put your own costume together, you’re more likely to reuse parts of it. Sooooo… I’ve compiled some of our simple, more “homemade” costumes for those who might be interested.

Vintage Truck Nursery

My husband is a car guy; he loves Chevy trucks (we currently own three); and he is a mechanic. When we found out our first was a boy, the vintage truck nursery theme was pretty obvious. I love the color teal, and the grey and teal just seemed to work with the vintage truck theme. It was so fun to purposefully paint and decorate an entire room while we waited for our little man’s arrival.

I love being creative and making things…but it’s amazing how long it takes me! I started this quiet book when my oldest was about nine months old. I finished it just before he turned four. BUT, I love how it turned out! Continue reading “My First Quiet Book”

Who doesn’t love a baby shower?! Last year my sister had a bohemian baby shower and I thought I’d share a few pictures. Sadly, I didn’t take very many between getting things ready and taking care of my kids, but it was such a fun shower! Continue reading “Bohemian Baby Shower”

DIY Semi Truck Pinata

My little man turned 3 last week! His favorite things in the world right now are semi trucks and trailers. We threw him a little party and wanted him to experience the classic party pinata.

However, the only semi truck pinata I could find was online. I didn’t want to pay for shipping and even with a few weeks till his party, it would be cutting it close to get it in time. So, I made my own! Continue reading “DIY Semi Truck Pinata”
