  • Experimenting with a little line + color sketch - trying to determine what I will paint on the kiddos rock wall in our basement. 🧗🏻‍♂️While @toddbabb is doing all the hard, structural stuff, I get to be creative. ❤️
.
I wanted the mountains scene to feel like it was local, and while we don’t live in the mountains, the range closest to us are the Blue Ridge mountains.
.
It’s not a very good sketch, but that’s ok. This little experiment has taught me that I really, really miss painting and will probably start doing it more often! .

  • Hi there, I’m a new plant lady. By “new” I mean I haven’t killed any lately. Here are a couple tips from a recovering plant murderer that might just help your house plants to thrive:
.
My good friend and expert plant lady @theminimalistplanthoarder told me to move my plants around every week. I don’t know why I didn’t think of that myself,  but it makes sense —  they need sunlight, and certain locations in my home do not get enough light for plants to thrive. This has been the best tip to keep the whole plant looking healthy.
.
Before I rotate them, I like to place them all to the sunniest part of the house, near the brightest windows, for about 24-48 hours. There, they get maximum sun for most of the day. The downside is that my dog likes to knock them over. 😑🐾🌱
.
How I remember to water them....you know those half empty cups of water your kids leave all throughout the house? I’ve finally put them to use — whenever I see these cups, I use them to water my plants. Honestly, that’s all the water they typically get (or need). Turning 🍋s into lemonade.
.
Do you guys have any tips to share? I’m loving my house plants — they keep the air fresh and clean! Would love to hear what’s worked for you! .

  • Need a last-minute, super-simple, patriotic dessert for the 4th? You might already have the ingredients for this recipe, Easy Blueberry-Citrus Crisp, in your fridge/freezer/pantry. Top with ice-cream and you’re good to go. Happy Independence Day!! See link in profile! .

  • COLOR + FLAVOR. Both are so important to a healthy lifestyle. Color (natural color, that is 🤣) typically means that ingredient is full of vitamins and minerals, which satiates the body. Color is great, but it has to taste good too! 🌈 There are a few ingredients I always keep on hand to ELEVATE the flavor of everyday foods. See link in my profile for one of my fav recipes ever: Rainbow Slaw with Peanut + Ginger Dressing and a list of those simple ingredients that make healthy food both delicious and satisfying! .

  • Just slightly nervous about today’s @uswnt game! The only thing that would make this game more epic would be to play on July 4th. 💥 💥💥

  • Just a little before and after of the green wall in the master. It’s amazing how a little color can change the whole mood of a room. Still need to add a few things, but then again, I’m never really finished with decorating.🤪 Who else out there is craving more color in their home? .

  • So many of you guys have joined the #fasterwaytofatloss community and I’m so excited for you, because YOU WILL 💯 see success!
.
Many of you know, I partnered with my coach and good friend @amberlydeavours to create a Carb Cycling Meal Plan that coincides with the program. It includes everything you need to be successful: grocery lists, meal prep strategy, recipes, macro calculations, and lunch/snack ideas. I created it specifically for the whole family —  I didn’t want to cook separate meals for the kids....cause nobody’s got time for that! 🤪 The meal plan is for 6 weeks, 7 days a week. You can use it whether or not you are following the program, cause it’s real, normal, healthy, yummy food for the whole family.
.
Creating this plan truly was a labor of love, but I have found my passion and am so excited to share it with others. See link in bio and use the code FRIENDS for a $10 discount. .

  • Bold greens, rich wood, antique brass is a combination I’m loving right now. I’m never done decorating - it’s always evolving and changing, but this corner currently makes me happy. 😊💚

  • A raaaaaare kid free evening. Turns out, we still like each other. 😂 Feeling like we’re in Napa, but here we are, in Georgia. ❤️🍑 #marriedwithchildren #datenight #georgia #modernhomemade
  • Today, we are ALL IN for @uswnt! I’d cheer for France against any other team, but not today. 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
.
 This flag cookie cake would be a great desert for 4th of July, too! It’s just store-bought sugar cookie, baked and cooled, topped with a cream cheese + sugar + vanilla mixture, topped with sliced strawberries and blueberries! It’s not an accurate flag depiction but you get the picture! Go USA!!! ❤️🇺🇸❤️🇺🇸❤️🇺🇸 .

  • Today was one of those days...had a mammogram and a positive strep test (for the middle kid) all before 11 am. 😑 Let’s just say the day could only look up from that point. 😉
. 
Thank goodness, we had some leftover grilled steak so all we had to do was arrange a few fridge/pantry ingredients together for a super fast and healthy dinner. Cause I flat out did not want to cook tonight! 🙅🏻‍♀️ But I still was able to stay within my macros, so win win. At least for today. We’ll see if I can hang tomorrow. Who else had a crappy Monday?! 😂🙋🏻‍♀️

  • I was going to show the “after” of the vintage dresser I found on Facebook marketplace for an absolute steal, but again, Winston feels he is much more interesting. Honestly, he is. I just love him. 😂🐾❤️
.
.
.
I’ll probably put a mirror above the dresser, and the dresser itself needs a little more TLC, but for now, I am mostly happy about how it turned out! It’s amazing what a little sanding and paint can do! .
