#sorrynotsorry for posting Halloween decor on my feed in September 😬! The season is so short but extra magical this year with Emie being so enamored by all the spook and magic that embodies the Halloween season that I decided it was totally ok to bring out the decor a little bit early this year! I'm not one for a ton of orange (but I do love a healthy dose of black 😜) so instead of doing the typical Halloween decor, I'm using a lot of what we already have and trying to channel a spooky/creepy vibe! It's fun to flip the script and make Halloween feel apart of our home instead of it over taking it! Make sense?! 💀🎃🦴🔮🍁🏚️ If you're like me and wanting to bring the spooky in a subtle way, I've added a whole bunch of Halloween inspired home decor pieces to my Amazon Shop page! Link is in my bio if you're curious!
The lumbar went to the nursery, the XL lumbar went to the guest bedroom, and the green pillows went to the living room. All that's left is our sleeping pillows and our room went from ooooh 🤩 to ewwww 😣 real quick! Anybody else 🙋🏼‍♀️ pillage their room for the sake of the house? Why is it that the master bedroom is always the least glamorous even though it's the room we spend the most time in? Deep thoughts on a Tuesday 😂
Still need to paint that massive planter I scored at the thrift store - so on this weekend's to-do list it goes! What color should I paint it? Right now all it's holding is a half dead snake plant 💀 that's collecting spider webs but what I really want in that planter is a giant tree to really fill out that corner. Too weird to ask for a tree for Christmas 😂🤔?
It took me a long time to not feel guilty about leaving Emie to go out and do something without her. I've come to realize that the time apart is good for us both and it makes coming home to that sweet little face so much sweeter 🥰. Tonight she's hanging with her YaYa while we go to a baseball game. And even though the Angels suck this year - we're gonna make the most of our night out! Hope you're living it up on this Thursday too 😜 #parentsontheloose
REALITY: it isn't all pretty squares around here. Real life is rolled up rugs, dated (front) doors, paint swatches, and more of that fleshy colored tile I hate so much 🤮. There's a whole lot here that I dislike and it's way too easy to nitpick the imperfections but I'm choosing to look past what I don't love and focus on what I do! I see so much potential here: an eventual double door entry, different tile, and oh yeah...and actual entry large enough to hang a purse! If you squint you can sorta see it 😜, right?! Is there an area in your home that has so much potential but really ugly or just blah at the moment? I bet we all have them!
Today is all about how we're taking back control and upping our grass game with @get_sunday 💪🏻. Who knew that keeping your grass green was actually HARD?! Not me 😂! Since purchasing our single family home in April, us landscaping newbies unintentionally killed our grass and without the knowledge or skills to bring it back - we stumbled across Sunday in a desperate attempt to not be THOSE neighbors with the trashy looking front yard 😬. I'm sharing all about it in my stories and there's a giant blog post filled with photos of just how scary our lawn got - be sure to check it all out and if you're interested! Sunday takes all the guess work out of building and sustaining a beautiful green lawn year-round with a lawn care maintenance plan that ships right to your doorstep! How convenient is that?! The best part? They've taken all the icky chemicals out of their products that are typically found in other lawn care products and instead use ingredients that are safe for people and pets! With the last few weeks of summer left, I'm looking forward to enjoying cool evenings stargazing on our new green grass 🌱 and Sikmon is scheming a putting green ⛳ out back - of course he is 🙄!
