Our master bathroom renovation was full of firsts for me – my first real demo, my first time tiling, and my first time installing a new vanity/sink/faucet. All the other sinks in our house have drop-in style sinks that sit on the countertop, and while those are fine, my heart has always loved the look…

Girly Workspace Makeover
Our home office has this little nook that’s been calling out for some attention. I’ve always had grand plans of tearing out the shelves and wall next to it and creating a two person built-in desk. But it was just something I never got around to. Instead, I took our old IKEA dining table, plopped…

The Tile That Almost Broke Me
Phase 3 of our bathroom renovation was a doozy. I, for sure, thought it would be one of the easiest parts of the job. But it turned out to be my biggest nightmare! So what is Phase 3, you ask? Tiling the floor! (Read about Phase 1: Demo and Phase 2: Shower Remodel here) I’ve…

DIY Pretend Makeup for Kids
Don’t ask me how it happened. I’ve never been the girl who loved wearing dresses, or styled her hair, or did her make-up every day. I’m very much a jeans and t-shirt kinda girl. Always have been. Always will be. But these girls of mine? Total girly girls! Emma loves anything pink and sparkly. Skirts…

Operation Clubhouse {DIY Playhouse with Slide}
I have fond memories of countless hours of my childhood spent playing outdoors. Riding bikes all over the neighborhood. Scrambling through the brush and the weeds exploring and imagining. Making mud pies in the front yard. It wasn’t often that you’d find my sister and I indoors watching TV. Unfortunately for my girls, our house…

Now…

A Magical My Little Pony Birthday Party (Plus FREE Printables)
My Emma, she has the memory of an elephant. That girl never forgets. So when she announced LAST JULY that she wanted her next birthday party to be a My Little Pony party, I jumped on Pinterest and started pinning. Lucky for her, Charlie still isn’t old enough to have an opinion on party themes,…

DIY Gem-Shaped Piñata
Growing up on the US/Mexico border, piñatas were always a birthday party staple. It didn’t matter what theme the party was or where the party was being held. There was always a piñata. And I loved it! The suspense of waiting for when it was time to bring it out. The fun of getting to…
