My current crushes from Pioneer Woman
It is no secret that my love for the Pioneer Woman runs STRONG!!! I do not qualify as a stalker quite yet, but let’s just say if the Pioneer Woman put out a line of shovels or televisions or heck even toilets, I would TOTALLY buy it!! So yesterday when I spied her post on this new line of Pioneer Woman luggage, I was ALL IN:) My only question was teal, or black, or how many suitcases can I fit in my closet???? This led me down the rabbit hole into PW land and I found ALL sorts of cute stuff I pretty much NEED…so I thought I would share…

Farmhouse Style On A Budget
My two favorite things are FARMHOUSE STYLE…and A GOOD DEAL!! So when I can get super cute farmhouse decor AND not break the bank, I am one happy girl!! Here are a few of my current farmhouse crushes… These pillows are so versatile…perfect for layering. And they come as a 2 pack , which makes them only around $12 each!!! In my opinion, you can never have too many trays. Any time I want to add a cute vignette to a tabletop, nightstand, kitchen counter, ANYWHERE, I always start with a pretty tray. This great farmhouse tray is under $14 and would look great in ANY room of the house.…

Top 9 things to do on Oahu:
I have been to Oahu multiple times, and each time I have added a few new TOP spots to my list. There is just SOOOO much to do and see that I could probably make a list of 50 attractions I love about the island, but If I had to choose my very favorites…these are the ones!! To start off with a disclaimer…many of my favorites revolve around food. But when I am on vacation, I want to ONLY eat the things that I love, AND many of those favorites are right there on the tiny island of Oahu. And if you want to get technical with a second disclaimer…most…

You don’t HAVE to have EVERYTHING to have it ALL!!!
Do you ever look at social media and think…IF I ONLY HAD WHAT THEY HAVE…or…IF I COULD ONLY AFFORD THAT…or…UGHH WHY DO I EVEN TRY?? We live in a fantastic time in history where we can see it ALL, do it ALL, and HAVE it ALL…but guess what??? We do not NEED it all!!! Let me ruin the ending for you. If you buy that “BLANK” that you saw your insta crush share this morning, it will NOT make you happier. If you eat the EXACT snack topped with protein powder and peanutbutter that your insta nutritionist chowed on yesterday, it will not give you abs. And if you have…

Emeals Review
SUMMER VACATION…aka the time when you realize that you will have your kids with you 24 hours a day for 3 months and that you do not have enough food or patience or energy to keep them all entertained…oh the joys…haha. Lucky for me a little ad popped up on my instagram that has changed the way I prep for dinner-time at my house. I started using Emeals with Walmart grocery pick-up and thought I would share my thoughts with you. First off, what is Emeals??? It is a meal planning site that provides a variety of ideas and recipes each week to help you plan out your dinners. THEN…

Traveling with kids: vacation packing tips and tricks
SUMMER!!! I have a major love/hate relationship with Summer vacation. I LOVE it because my kids are home all day…and I HATE it because…my kids are home ALL DAY!! It is fun and busy and crazy and messy and unscheduled and JUST TOO DARN SHORT!! But my favorite part… the travel. My goal for the Summer is to create as many memories as I possibly can in those 10 weeks, so that when the dark days of January roll back around, we can have NEXT SUMMER to look forward to. Since we have spent all sorts of days on the road already this Summer between camping and short over night…

Spring Decor: Kitchen and Dining room
I think I have FINALLY purged all of the Christmas trees and decor from the farmhouse. I don’t know if it was because the snow just kept coming (WELL into March) or if I just woke up on the lazy side of the bed this month, but I was in NO hurry to pull out the spring decor around here. Now that I have FINALLY started though…it feels SOOOO good. There is just SOMETHING about Spring…like a fresh start after a LONG season of BLECH. SHOP SIMILAR: I started by simplifying and adding spring decor in my dining nook. These open shelves are ALWAYS my favorite to decorate. With very…

Walmart finds: farmhouse style on a budget
I absolutely love home décor and creating a cute cozy space for my family, but I also love a good deal. I really try to get the most bang for my buck, and lately Walmart has really upped their game in the home décor department. Each time I go, I see new farmhouse style pieces at AMAZING prices!!! Here are a few of my current favorites… This cute HOME PILLOW is hands down one of my favorite Walmart Finds. It is hard to find budget friendly pillows, and this one comes in UNDER $12!!! I have the GATHER version as well and if they make more…you better believe I will…

Budgeting When You Are BUSY: Free Spending Tracker
Budgeting…blech. Nobody likes to hear about…think about…or especially DO SOMETHING about their budget. It is like the long lost annoying cousin of our BFF Spendy. We all like Cousin Spendy…but nobody wants to invite Budget Boy to the party…am I right?? Well that was me too. I HATED thinking about my spending. I would just mindlessly swipe until half way through the month and then wonder where all of my money went. Then I would be super frugal for a couple of weeks until I got paid again…and the cycle continued. I HAD NO CLUE where I was spending it, or WHAT I was spending it on. I REALLY enjoyed…
