Fiona Turned 3!

This year for my daughters 3rd birthday I decided to do a Halloween theme/costume party. Her Birthday is at the end of October so it only seemed fitting!

I love it when my kitchen is clean! I’m constantly wiping down the counters and appliances because of #kids and their sticky little hands that have to touch everything. I’m also that person who cleans my kitchen before I cook. My husband thinks it’s silly since we will have to clean up after dinner again but I just have to have a clean slate before I do anything. It just makes cleanup more manageable later, at least for me! ☺️ . . . Do y’all clean up prior to cooking or making another mess? Or do you like to wait until you are done making messes? Tell me below 👇🏼 which side you’re on! . . . #kitchen #kitchensofinstagram #tidyhome #myhousebeautiful #subwaytile #alltheneutralfeels #kitchendesign #pendantlights #whitekitchen #granite #diningroom #interiorinspiration #targetstyle #thresholdtarget #wayfair #plantsmakepeoplehappy

I have never been one to talk about items that I don’t absolutely love and this is no exception. I started using oils nearly 5 months ago and never looked back. I had always been oil curious but was afraid to dive in because that would mean change. I knew that learning more about what I was bringing into my home meant I would have to change what I was bringing in. All of the cleaners, detergents, soaps, candles, lotions etc I was using are filled with toxins. We all know this but just don’t think about it because it’s what we have been using our entire lives. Now that I was bringing safer products into my home I began to really evaluate what I was using and what I wanted to swap out for safer alternatives. This was my small start. I swapped out dryer sheets for these wool dryer balls and a few drops of essential oils. It smells great, is better for us, our clothes and the environment.🍋🙌🏽 . . What have you guys swapped out for safer alternatives? . #yl #youngliving #essentialoils #yleo #dryerballs #lavenderessentialoil #lemonessentialoil #tjmaxx #laundry #mightyfixbox #oilymom #oilymama #bloggermom #modernmom #honestparenting

I think spring is finally here to stay! I’m loving the sunshine and warmer weather and pray that it doesn’t just turn into summer over night. I just can’t take the Midwest humidity anymore! I definitely enjoy the mildness of spring and fall the most. 🌞🌸 . . . What’s your favorite season/s?. . . #entrywaydecor #entryway #springhassprung #targetstyle #zgallerie #howyouhome #homeiswheretheheartis #bhghome #bhg #sodomino #lmbpresets #craftsmanhome #craftsmanstyle #moderncraftsman #wayfair #pursurepretty #chandeliers #babygate

Basements are in nearly every home in the Midwest. They can serve as storage, protection from inclement weather, or as extra sq footage. I had a list of things I wanted in my basement when we were finishing it, one thing being that I didn’t want it to feel like a basement. I wanted it to be an extension of the main level, light, bright, airy and cozy! We added this fireplace and built-ins and this has been one of my fav spots in our house. We love having our friends over and have plenty of seating for everyone. ❤️ (one day we will get a new fan 😉 #nomorebooblights ) . . . Are basements common where you live? And what do you use your basement for? ✨ . . . #basementsofinstagram #basements #builtins #herringbone #traditionalfireplace #mantle #pursuepretty #howyouhome #lightandbright#cozyhome #apartmenttherapy #bhg #livingroomdesign #betterhomesandgardens #lvpflooring #lifeproofflooring #woodacresoak #booblightsgottago

Got home from work and headed to the gym. I find lately I’m home less and less. With work, kids, activities, spending time with family and friends. We try to get it all in when we can and wouldn’t trade that time for anything. So right now my home is “instagram clean”. Swipe to see what the other side of this room looks like at the moment 😳. The laundry can wait 🤣. ✨ . . #reallife #laundryfordays #sorrynotsorry #cleanhouse #diy #fauxbrickwall #bloomingnestinspired #sharemypier1 #shelf #homegoodsfinds #homegoodshappy #homegoods #gasfireplace #reverepewter #papillon #lmbpresets

I finally got my new shelves up in my living room 🙌🏽. I love these shelves so much I have them in 3 rooms of my home (so far). They are just so versatile and can be styled so many ways. I styled them 3 different ways but want you guys to help me vote on which one to go with. I eventually would love some nice frames to layer up here but I went with what I had on hand. ✨ . . Which one do you like best? 1, 2, or 3?. . . #shelfie #targetstyle #target #shelves #shelvesofinstagram #myhousebeautiful #lmbpresets #thesill #plantsmakepeoplehappy #plantshelfie #plantshelf #ikea
