Can't believe we finally finished the office space in our home! You will find the space has form and function which took longer than I would like to admit to put together. But nonetheless I am totally obsessed with how it turned out. Like our bedroom because it is a space my husband and I both share it had to meet both our needs. Since my husband is a musician he needed a place that would inspire his creative juices along with the space to make that happen. I needed a uncluttered wall backdrop for which I…

Wow I can't believe I am almost four months postpartum. I still look at both my girls and can hardly believe I am a mother of two. It all feels like a whirlwind since only a month after I had McKenna we were put on quarantine. For me it was truly a drastic change in our lifestyle as we were always on the go 24/7; going to Disneyland weekly, the park and lots of staycations. Being stuck at home with a newborn and 5 year old has been anything but easy. I feel pulled in multiple directions all the time and my…

Upon McKenna's arrival we had to decide if we were going to move into a bigger place or just make due with what we had. Eventually, we came to the decision to stay put because let's be honest moving is a pain in the butt; especially when it comes to repainting and hanging things up. So we took our master bedroom and turned it into a combo nursery room. And I have to say I truly love how it turned out. Just a few minor adjustments and bam it became the perfect room for all three of us sometimes even four of…

Wow what a whirlwind the last few weeks have been. I can't believe McKenna Reign is already 3 weeks old. I will say going from one kid to two is a lot easier than I thought it would be but I would be lying if I said there were not some minor adjustments we have had to make; but that story is for another day. Today, I want to tell you my birth story because like so many say "no matter how much you plan for the birth you want rarely does it actually happen that way". When I found out I was pregnant for the…

As most of you know I started getting back into the gym a few months ago after never stepping foot in a gym in over 10 years. I have never felt more energized and stress free since getting into a workout routine. For me working out was not about being fit but increasing my energy level overall and just making a healthy habit for the long run. I recently was introduced to FitTrack which is a weigher like no other. I have never been one to step onto a scale and just look at my weight as a factor for…

Easter has come and gone but I am still reminiscing about my favorite table scape ever and all the elements that made it great. It was my first time hosting Easter Brunch and let's just say I totally underestimated what it takes to put on a brunch. lol It took me a solid two days to figure out the menu, go grocery shopping and of course decorate the table. Decorating the table was definitely my favorite part because well I am not the best cook so I might have burned a few things and had to start over a few…

Hello lovelies!! I am so excited to finally reveal our master bedroom makeover. It took a long 8 months but it was worth the wait. After, a million pinterest pins, late night designing, switching items in and out it all came together just right. When I first started working on this project there was a lot to consider as Chris and I have very different design taste and since it is our bedroom I really wanted to find a happy medium that we would both enjoy! Luckily, agreeing on wall paint color was the…

Motherhood; an experiment in how long your body can function without adequate sleep or nourishment and fueled only by adrenaline, caffeine and children smiles.

Do you ever look back at your life before children and think wow I did not appreciate my sleep enough back then! lol I know I do most days but I would not trade the lack of sleep for anything. I now just look for new ways to refuel and refocus. As Kennedy has gotten older life has only gotten busier, I am constantly trying to juggle her schedule…

As mother's it is easy to let ourselves go and blame it on the fact we are so busy with our daily lives that we forget about us. We use to be great at applying makeup daily and doing our hair and putting together a super cute outfit to prance around in as we took on the world. However, between cooking, cleaning, working and caring for our children we lost our way. It did not take long after Kennedy was born that I realized it was important to still find time for myself so I could truly be the mother to her…

As the new year begins it is always a time of reflection on the past year on things you want to improve on for the following year. What you did great and want to keep doing. And goals that you are setting to achieve this year that maybe were not met last year or just new goals you are setting altogether. Whatever the case may be we are all together striving for a better tomorrow. As my goal this year is to strive to be the best me; each day I try to remember these 5 things and thought I would share them…
