This post is sponsored by Ferrero Chocolate, but all ideas/opinions are my own. My twin sister's family and my family like to have dinner together once a week. I wanted to provide a dessert that the kids would love! Then I thought: How about a s'mores treat?! Instead of plain milk chocolate chips, I wanted to put a twist to it using candy bars[...]
I was so excited when Niña asked me if I had any paint projects I wanted to get done. I've been wanting to do a sponge wall in the foyer and this helped motivate me to get it checked off my long to-do list! Here is what it looked like before we painted: She had me choose from the Magnolia Home Collection at Ace Hardware. You all know[...]
Niña and I were so excited to attend SELFIE MUSEUM 's VIP night! OMG...you guys, you all need to check it out! If you're not in Iowa, check out their OTHER LOCATIONS! They have various fun booths to take photos in. Each booth has a ring light and most even have a phone stand to prop your phone on. Also, each booth is big enough for a small group[...]
I had done a stencil project in Lennon's bedroom last year (see photo below). After about a year, I decided it was time to do something that shows that it's a kids bedroom. Lennon loves sports and playing Fortnite so I knew I wanted to incorporate that. I then thought... how about a chalkboard wall?! Then if for some reason in a few years he is no[...]
Thank-you SO much for all the love on my last couple blog posts and social media posts after sharing my furniture projects! If you missed it, I wrote about 2 DIY projects. Removing Finish from Furniture (Dining Table) and Removing Finish from Furniture (Nightstand). Some of you had the same questions so I wanted to share the answers and have it in[...]
As I mentioned in my other DIY : REMOVING FINISH (DINING TABLE) post, the Citristrip did not work on the dining table, but the CITRISTRIP did work on my nightstand! It actually worked SO well on this furniture piece! Here's the before photo: TIP #1: Apply Citristrip stripping gel with a PAINT BRUSH and wear rubber gloves.[...]
School is out for the summer!! Not sure who is more excited that Friday was the last day of (home)school.... the kids OR the parents! 🤪 Last day of kindergarten for Mariah, 1st grade for Lennon, 3rd grade for Hendrix, and 9th grade for Dylan. Are your kids on summer break yet?! Someone had asked me last week how the kids are handling everythin[...]
I'm finally getting to share with you my first experience of removing stain from furniture! I removed the finish from my dining table and nightstand. What I did was different for each piece of furniture which was not my plan but what worked for one did not work for the other. So on this blog post, I will be sharing what I did with our dining table,[...]
I hope you all had a wonderful Mother's Day yesterday! Being a mom is one of the hardest, most stressful thing I've ever experienced, yet it has given me so much joy, love, and patience. There are times I feel like I'm killing it as a mom, and there are times I feel like I'm completely failing... or maybe even losing it. ;-) Pretty sure we are all j[...]
HE IS RISEN, HE IS RISEN INDEED! Easter looked a little bit different this year. It was the first time we were not around other family members to celebrate this special day. We sure miss everyone, but we still made the best of it and had a great day! The kids received some goodies in their basket from the Easter Bunny. I even made name tags s[...]
