As a new Mom (I’m a year in to motherhood, so am I even still considered “new” at this point?), I’ve realized that you just simply can’t do it all. Taking care of your child (and yourself), working a full-time job, cooking for a family, and keeping your house spotless — it’s a lot. Through…
When springtime is in the air outdoors, I swear that my mood gets a little better. But since it’s still cold outside, I’ll be bringing spring indoors instead (a month early, I’m aware). I’m not going full-on Easter bunny family or pink florals, but swapping out a few everyday items with something more spring-y is…
When it comes to wallet-friendly furniture and home decor items, Target is one of my go-to stores. (It doesn’t hurt that I have a Red Card so I get 5% off and free shipping!)

What words would you use to describe your home decor style for the holidays? Some of us love the farmhouse look that Joanna Gaines made oh-so-popular, while others are more eclectic and would never step foot inside of a chain home decor store. For me, when it comes to decorating for the holidays, I tend…
One the more recent holiday decorating trends that I (and everyone else in the world) loves are white ceramic houses. I’m pretty neutral when it comes to how I decorate my home, especially for the holidays (I can’t do orange AND purple for Halloween people), so the white villages fit right in with my aesthetic…
