I’m a mom of three who’s documenting all the wins and the occasional fails as I renovate my builder-grade house one room at a time. I want our house feel to feel like a home and my goal is to help you change your mindset from “I can’t” into “I CAN!” by sharing the process so that you can do the same!

✨YOU are UNIQUELY YOU✨ The last few weeks, yo ✨YOU are UNIQUELY YOU✨

The last few weeks, you have seen me rollercoaster in my stories from not knowing where to take this account, where I fit in the “creator” mold, and if I was doing enough. I’ve taken the last few weeks to reflect and stop worrying about being what everyone else is and what social media wants me to@be to be successful and this has brought me so much peace. I am UNIQUELY me. What I create and build WILL be different and received different than those around me. That’s OKAY. Remember this: Your purpose is unique and so is the process to get there 💕 KEEP MOVING FORWARD

✨Taking a space and making it functional✨ In ✨Taking a space and making it functional✨

In two weeks, my youngest daughter’s closet went from cluttered on the shelves and just hanging space, to an entire system she can use as she grows. 

We needed a solution for her room as she stored most of her stuff in little baskets. I picked up a malm dresser and started to think of ways I could build her a custom closet with it. I added wallpaper, oak vinyl, and oak plywood to create a space that is not only functional but her style. The last minute addition was the little vanity station - which was suppose to be another shelf - that she can use to play dress up or when she gets older. 

Who thought a closet could be this beautiful?

✨SAVE FOR LATER ✨ Making your house a home d ✨SAVE FOR LATER ✨ 

Making your house a home doesnt need to be over-the-top. Simple applications like peel-n-stick wallpaper can make a huge impact, even with a smaller budget. Here are some tips for easy installation:
1. Use a laser lever or level to make a “starting point”. Corners are rarely straight and lining the paper up with one will cause the wallpaper to be unlevel with future pieces. 
2. This is a 2 person job. I have done them so many times, and i am stubborn, that I tend to do them myself. Some peel-n-stick is very forgiving and can be adjusted easily..but others arent so having a second hand to help keep ig straight and not fold over is a must! 
3. Go slow, it’s not a race. I work on an angle and make sure there are no bubbles left behind. If a bubble does get stuck and you cant get it, a little pin can be used to pop it. 
4. Enjoy your new wallpaper!

If you have been around for a few weeks, you know that we found ⚫️ in a piece of the carpet we pulled up. And although it wasn’t caused by a dirty carpet, a LOT of you mentioned we should get the carpets cleaned and it can hold onto a lot of dirt and allergens. @tinecoglobal just came out with a NEW carpet cleaner so why not give it a try!

Dear Daughters, Our world, the world you are grow Dear Daughters,

Our world, the world you are growing in, isn’t easy. You will fall and stumble and somedays, it might feel easier to give up. Society will categorize you BECAUSE you are a women - don’t let that happen. Be authentically you - BE BOLD - BE LOUD - BE STRONG - BE FIERCE. You have a light that shines bright inside you, don’t let the light that shines on you shine brighter. 

Hope - always hold onto it. Keep that love in your heart hopeful, no matter what life presents you. 

Be proud - YOU ARE A WOMEN - there will be obstacles to overcome, people who don’t believe you can do hard things, a world that is waiting for mistakes… but show them you can do anything - DREAM big dreams. If you want to be a chef, be a chef…if you want to be a contractor, be a contractor…if you want to be a mother, be a mother… if you want to be a CEO, BE THE DANG CEO! 

Make a difference in our world and aim to make the world a little better each day. Love who God made you to be, pursue kindness over pettiness, cry if you need to (it doesn’t make you “weak”), don’t let other underestimate you. YOU.ARE.WOMEN.

Love,
Mom
