May 25

↠ It was in this home almost two years ago that I was sitting in bed on a grey and rainy afternoon and was suddenly overwhelmed with the desire for children. It was quite comedic because just a few days prior I had told a friend that it would be years, probably, until I would want a child, and wished I could give her any fertility I might have had. But then there I was, a puddle of tears, a deep desire to embark on a journey that I had always thought would not be for me.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I then opened my Bible app to the verse you can swipe to see, and in that moment I felt that we were called to raise a son. There was a good bit of time over the next little while where I tried to convince myself that surely the Lord wasn’t calling ME to motherhood in this way, but then I finally decided to listen, release fears, and let Him take the lead. It’s been almost two years since this day, and now I’m sat here in this same spot with our sweet baby boy, feeling the full circle of God’s blessings upon us.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Just thought I would share that little snippet, as a testimony to how God works in the sweetest of ways, over time. The Lord’s plans are always in just the right timing, if we will let Him take the lead.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Proverbs 16:9 says that “we can plan our own journey, but the Lord directs our steps”, and I can confirm His plans are for our good!

↠ The most lovely three months of my life thus far. Motherhood. ♡ Beyond blessed to be this boy’s mama.

↠ If there is one thing I have learned since becoming a mama, it’s that every little moment of the day is so important, as well as the need for margin in my day to day life. That said, I am so excited to be partnering with @willowpump to share about their wearable breast pump that helps me claim back TIME, which feels like such a luxury! I’ve previously spent about thirty minutes a day stationary with my traditional pump where as now I am able to pump while also tackling house chores and caring for our home, which ultimately gives me more time for baby cuddles, and that is a luxury that is worth it all! Some of my favorite features of Willow below——
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
- there are only TWO parts to wash (IYKYK)
- they have leak-proof bags that are ready to store or eco-friendly reusable containers, which I will be definitely be investing in
- I have freedom of motion and can move about the house WHILE pumping
- it’s so much easier to pack away for travel than all the cords and bits and pieces of a traditional pump
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I feel like this is SUCH a game changer for all my mamas out there, so I am leaving a link in my story and ‘baby things’ highlights to this pump! It’s simply the best, so dump your traditional pump and pump #withwillow!

↠ Sometimes, we just don’t get it right the first time, and that’s ok. Decided that instead of living with something that I wasn’t happy with, I would finally just admit that I got it wrong and then take action to change course!
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I am indeed talking about a paint color, but I feel like it could be a good metaphor for many different areas of life! So whether you’re struggling with a design choice or something on a much less superficial level (🤪), know that it’s ok to admit you got it wrong and start over!
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
If at first you don’t succeed, try try again! Inspired by me repainting our dining room essentially the same color but with a slightly warmer tint, hehe.

↠ If you’ve been here for a while, you’ll have noticed that we kind of have a thing for the elevated ceiling look! It’s so fun to create something that draws the eye upward and ultimately just makes a room *that* much more exciting. Details on what we’ve done to our three bedrooms below!
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Guest Room: We went with bead-board, which actually matches some other trim work we have on the walls. Love this look so much. It gives off cozy cottage feelings and it looks super timeless. I’d say this is level three, in terms of ease. You need a bit of skill!
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Nursery: Wallpaper! Something we’ve been wanting to try for a while and we’re so glad we did! It’s such a statement and allows for so much creativity! Ours is from @loomwell. I’d say this is a level two on ease, but definitely a number one in cost. Quality wallpaper is not cheap!
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Master Bedroom: For this room we went with @portolapaints Roman Clay. It’s subtle, but gives off a really stylized plaster finish, which we really like! This is definitely the easiest and the least pricey option. You can even take it one step down and simply give your ceiling a makeover with regular ole wall paint and I guarantee that will be a statement all on it’s own!
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Would you try this in your space? Leave a comment and let me know which look is your favorite!

↠ Needed these weekend snaps to be on my feed—— a mama’s first real outing with her baby boy. (we also went to Target solo for the first time too, so really big steps over here)! Please be my tiny date forever. ♡
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
This little soul just makes me feel so excited for life and all that is to come. But for now, we’ll just soak it all in.

↠ Adding bits of sparkle to my every day with @lightboxjewelry’s lab-grown diamonds. These are just as durable and retain the same chemical properties as natural diamonds, but are at a much more accessible price point thanks to their lab-grown process, which is definitely a win in this fresh season of parenthood! That said, I’m taking myself and baby boy on a little mid day picnic date to add a bit of sparkle to our daily routine too. Don’t forget to find the magical moments in the everyday, mamas.

↠ This is your sign to put wallpaper on the ceiling. It’s easy, makes a statement, and there’s just too many adorable patterns to choose from—— especially for a nursery or little one’s bedroom! That’s all I have to say! Now…where else should we wallpaper? 😏

↠ A work in progress. We’re so excited to have a garden again since we took last year off while we moved across the country and trekked through my first trimester, ha! But we’re back and it feels so good! One step closer to a tiny homestead here in Tennessee, and the first step in making our little acreage our own!
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Do you garden? If so, what are you a pro at growing? We always seem to do best with squash and pumpkins alike!

Apr 14

↠ Morning tidy routine with @parachutehome, because I simply cannot start my day without a good ten minute tidy. Who’s with me? #MyParachuteHome

Apr 12

↠ Organize my little linen cupboard with me—— my solution for not having any linen closets or pantries in our house! Anyone else have to get creative with storage?
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
If you followed along on stories, you’ll know that I simplified soo many of our linens in order to make this little piece work as a real storage option! Here is all that remains!
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Organizing always comes before Spring Cleaning, am I right? What are you organizing this week?

↠ Thank you, Jesus.

↠ Elevated snacking idea—— charcuterie board on the go. #ad As a new mama, making sure I prioritize nutrition, even if it’s through little snacks throughout the day, is so important! Made with real cheese and 2g of protein per wedge, these little The Laughing Cow® Cheese wedges pair perfectly with crackers, fresh or dried fruits, and nuts for a super balanced and delicious snack! Definitely making this a part of my weekly meal prep routine! Visit your local @krogerco to grab @thelaughingcowusa and let me know in the comments if you’d try this snack bowl recipe! #TheLaughingCowAtKroger #CharcuterieBoard #SnackBoard #MealPrep

↠ Tis the season for planning all things outdoors! With our first Spring here in Tennessee upon us, we're starting to plan out how we want to landscape our yard and build out our garden, so naturally I had to get dressed up to visit our local plant nursery, ha. It's the little things that feel like BIG wins these days! Speaking of, these @earthshoesusa heels are the most comfortable heels I have ever worn. Even as a new mama carrying a little bundle of cuteness, I still felt so comfy walking around making all my decisions!
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Made with a super soft, supple leather and crafted with the earth in mind, these are a major win if you're looking for comfort without compromising style or sustainability! These shoes are for the cool moms. Definitely adding these to my Spring wardrobe!

Apr 3

↠ A love so easy, like snuggles on a sunny Sunday afternoon.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Truly living the good life these days, hanging out with this one 24/7. What a blessing! Experiencing every moment of each new day is like living life for the first time all over again, and that in itself is such an immeasurable gift. Thank you, Jesus, for this new role in life.

↠ A little antique shopping out on the town for pieces that are unique, well loved, and a little imperfect. Truly my favorite way to consume sustainably. Speaking of, I’ve teamed up with @senreve to feature their handbag revival sale—— a sale that highlights pieces with slight imperfections, like my mini maestra handbag with a small dot of glue residue, for a generously discounted price. A wonderful way to find loving homes for pieces that would otherwise be tossed, and to add something a little unique to your life. Link is in my stories to shop the sale, with bags up to 70% off!

↠ Spring is officially upon us so I’ve decided to start a little Spring Cleaning series because it’s not like I have anything else going on these days. 😉 So here are my top tips on SIMPLIFYING in the bedroom. This is an area that I love to style, so pairing down a bit was no easy task for me, but I already feel so much lighter and at ease!
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
☼ decorate with fresh florals rather than dust collecting knickknacks
☼ keep your color palette neutral and light to help curate a feeling of freshness and serenity
☼ don’t overdo it on throw pillows and blankets—— you can totally create visual interest with less
☼ keep only what you need and will actually use on your nightstand/dresser/etc and declutter the rest
☼ now for my biggest tip, always put things away the first go around, because your future self will thank you ◡̈
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
What is one way you are simplifying in the bedroom this Spring, and which area should we focus on next? I’m thinking either my wardrobe closet or linen cupboard because both would have very drastic before/afters, ha—— vote below!

↠ how lucky are we 🥲🍀

Totally gonna be that mom that goes all out on holidays, ya know, once he’s old enough to appreciate it. Happy St Patrick’s Day!
