Nothing like a blind taste test challenge to remind kids of what they already knew, they much prefer to other mom-approved options. Bonus: you can now feel even better about eating (or giving your kids, if you feel kind enough to share) Garden Veggie Snacks because they are now made with Avocado Oil and real veggies! They contain no artificial flavors or artificial preservatives, colors are from natural sources, they are gluten free annnnnd Garden Veggie Straws now include a sweet potato straw!
And it doesn’t hurt that they are delicious. When we finished filming, I may or may not have locked myself in the closet and polished off the entire bag of Veggie Puffs before anyone else could get their hands on them.

Major life update 💞 I know people talk about getting engaged to their best friend but, in this case, I mean it literally. I have never gotten to experience falling in love with someone who, at one point, was just my best friend. But let me tell you, it is magical. The way he makes me laugh harder than anyone else can make me laugh. The way he makes life feel light for my children. The way he supports me and takes care of me and always lifts me up, no matter how hard the day is. I can’t wait to spend the rest of my life laughing with you. I can’t wait to spend the rest of my life loving you and being loved by you. I love you doesn’t even cut it 💞

This is your sign to get that weird thing you saw in the antique mall that made you happy. Frame that ridiculous yet hilarious kindergarten photo of your mom that she hates. Get an anatomically correct figure of a horse, if you need to. Be whimsical!

Today was really giving that “stay in your pajamas until school pick-up” kind of energy.
*lest you think my room was actually clean today, swipe to see everything I shoved in the corner before I felt okay about taking this photo.

Don’t be fooled.

My life’s mission and biggest design challenge since moving into our builder basic home has been figuring out how in the world to take a series of white boxes, with the most basic of finishes and turn them into something special that feels like home. I think my favorite project to date since moving in has been my daughter’s bedroom. Creating a surprise space for your teenage daughter and trying to make it feel uniquely like her is not for the faint of heart. And doing it on a budget, even harder. For one, I had to come up with a budget friendly substitute for wallpaper…and let’s just say no Habitat for Humanity in a 20 mile radius had any record albums left after I was done with them 😆 But I pulled it off and gave her a space that she could be herself in and, let me tell you, impressing a 16-year-old girl is a FEAT in and of itself. It might be the first and last time I ever impress her so I am white knuckling the memory until I die.

The backdrop of our annual photo may have changed this year but the players are the same (albeit a little bit taller) and so is the love. ⭐️🎄💓 I hope you all are having the most magical holiday season!
