Chippy white paint. I just love to see things with chippy paint in a home. We've had a big, heavy, 4 poster wooden bed in our room for almost 6 years. It's a beautiful bed but I've never been too happy with the way it looks in our master bedroom. Last week, we finally took the bed down because it was making the room feel so cramped and dark. I would walk in our master bedroom and immediately would want to rearrange or get rid of things because it looked too dark and crowded. We figured it was ...

Fall Jord Wood Watch Review & Giveaway
Fall will be here soon and I'm already getting out a few of my favorite fall pieces in my wardrobe. A Jord Wood Watch is a part of my fall wardrobe. Have you seen these wood watches?

The most recent watch that was delivered to my front porch was this beautiful Frankie watch in Ebony and Gold. After measuring my wrist with the Jord ...
22 Things to Keep Your Preschooler Busy While Teaching the Older Ones
The question we hear the most when people hear that we homeschool our kids is, "What do you do to keep your preschooler busy while teaching the older ones?" The answer? We use a lot of different things, and each day is something different. I try to keep it fun and different to where they don't get bored with the same activity. I have a schedule (because of course, that is what list-makers like myself do). For example: Monday's they can watch a preschool show (Super Why, Word World, Sid the ...

Our 2016/2017 Homeschool Curriculum Choice
Homeschool curriculum. It's that time of year when homeschool parents ask each other what curriculum they ended up with. We have been back "in session" for almost three weeks now. It feels good to be back in our routine and moving forward in the new school year. Our homeschool curriculum this year, is by far our favorite! This year, we chose to do a hodge lodge of homeschool curriculum. Some of it we have previously used in the past, some of it is new. All of it we purchased at the Teach ...
Wake Foot Sanctuary & Spa (review & giveaway)
Asheville is one of our favorite places to visit for a long weekend getaway. Our family has a cabin up in the mountains near there, so anytime we can get away, thats usually the first place we head. This past weekend, I had a girls trip to Asheville with a dear friend and it was so relaxing! No one was asking me for a snack or asking to stay up later. It was great to enjoy sleeping in and not having a care in the world. I found Wake Foot Sanctuary online a few days before our trip and ...
7 Must Have Newborn Baby Items
Newborn baby items. There's so much out there. What's good? What works? What doesn't? It's been a few years (more like over 4 years) since we've had a newborn around. While it seems like yesterday we brought our youngest son home from the hospital, it's been over 4 years and lots has changed in the newborn baby world. Lots of fun new products I wish they had when my boys were babies (I sound so old saying that). A little over 8 weeks ago, we brought a newborn baby girl (foster placement) home ...
