I am not someone who keeps things around that I don't really need and I definitely don't like a bunch of clutter around but my backstocking tendancies are why I cannot officially give myself the minimalist title. When I am talking about backstocked items, I am not talking about household staples that I always keep around the house but rather the items that I keep around in bulk. They are my backups and honestly backups to my backups. It may sound … [Read more...]
Kitchen Inspiration
It's kitchen time!! I mean, who doesn't love to plan their dream kitchen? I bounced around A LOT with the overall design of the space mainly because I couldn't decide on paint colors, but we struggled for a bit with the layout too. Let's start with one of the first images that I pinned for the kitchen. When we were in the planning process for our house, and of course working with a budget, we decided to cut down on some square footage and I … [Read more...]

I started my household swaps a year ago and have put all of these products (any many more that didn't make the list) to the test. Instead … [Read more...]
Using Consequences Instead of Punishment
The ultimate goal as parents and caregivers is to help our children become independent human beings. This means that your littles will have a really good idea of the impact their choices can make in their own lives. It may seem like a daunting task to achieve in the moment but it's actually quite simple. For example, if I make a mess on the floor, I need to stop what I'm doing and clean it up. Or if I yell at someone and say rude things, I need … [Read more...]
Laundry Room Inspiration
The laundry room. The one room where I have always spent way more time than I would prefer. This was the reason why it became such an important room for me in our Kentucky house. Of course, I wanted it to be functional but I also wanted it to be a place that I wouldn't hate to be in for an extended period of time. I went into this room just like I did most areas in the house, with a list of functions that I wanted to include in the space. I … [Read more...]
