It’s that time of year again: the time where you scour the internet for a unique Christmas gift that he doesn’t already have. Hopefully this collection of fun finds will help make your holiday shopping a bit easier for those hard to shop for fellas!

When I’m looking for the perfect gift, regardless of who it’s for, I usually tend to take the ‘road less traveled’. I always attempt to find the most unusual gift, something I’m sure they don’t already have but something they’re sure to love too. This year is no different. I have collected a few very unique gifts that I have on my own list to Santa, and hopefully they’ll make those amazing women in your life smile too!

I don’t know about you, but I’ve spent years, and hundreds of dollars searching for the perfect pillow and have come up empty handed (and kink-necked)… until now!! I’m happy to report that I have recently found the most fabulous pillow EVER, and I can’t wait to share it with you (the info, not my pillow)!

I really think you’ll love it.

Each year when fall rolls around, retailers promote their own collection of fun finds, which can often be very overwhelming: the fall inspired scented candles, cozy flannel blankets, decorative floral wreaths… Well, lucky for you, I’ve done plenty of digging around and selected a few great finds to save you both your precious time and a few dollars along the way. From cooking gadgets to blankets and front door rugs to tasty treats, I hope you find something that inspires you to get cozy!

Occasionally I’m able to sneak away from ‘mom life’ and treat myself to a day of retail therapy. With a house full of boys, a husband and two dogs (one of which is a 10 week old puppy), finding a quiet, chaos-free zone is nearly impossible. So when I get in my car alone and make the 35 minute drive to Boise (Idaho’s beautiful capitol city), there’s nothing more enjoyable than sipping my coconut milk iced coffee and driving in complete silence. No music, no back seat chatter. Just me, my thoughts and the highway.

For me, that’s the best therapy.

In an effort to help you minimize wasted hours of scouring the internet for the perfect Father’s Day gift(s), I’ve done the hard work for you! From vintage inspired coolers to retro-vibe yard games and simple tech tools, hopefully you can easily choose the perfect Dad’s Day gift without wasting your valuable time doing so. Happy shopping!

With three kiddos, it seems like we’re constantly moving rooms to accommodate their growing needs. Six years ago when we moved in to our current home, the tiny spare bathroom in the basement was next to my office, and rarely used by anyone but me. Fast forward 5 years and my ‘office’ has now been transformed into a teenage football lovin’ kids room. And that bathroom? It’s been taken over too. Needless to say, it was definitely time for a remodel.

I figured since Mother’s Day is right around the corner, this is the perfect time to share these perfect gift ideas with you. Then, if you love them like I do, you can pass along the idea(s) to your loving family members, and make their Mom’s day gift giving a piece of cake this year!

Reorganizing my pantry has been one thing I’ve always wanted to tackle, but somehow it’s never made it to the top of the to-do list. Perhaps because the thought of taking everything out of my pantry sounds exhausting! Or maybe I’m afraid of what I’ll find?? Regardless of the reason, now that it’s done, I wish I would have done it years ago!

Often times holidays have a way of emptying our pocket books, and when the day is done, there’s not much to show for it.

Learn some fun, money saving tips that will help you create a budget-friendly, beautifully decorated space in no time. Then you can focus your energy on what’s really important, celebrating the holiday with family and friends.

Have you ever found yourself looking around your house thinking, “why have I never updated that?” It’s something I think we all do from time to time. Styles change. Taste changes. But change can be overwhelming, and costly, especially when you don’t know where to start. In this post I’ll share with you a few simple tips to get you feeling confident about picking out new accents for your home, plus a few online shopping tricks that will save you hours of time!

Any one else have a drastic shift in wardrobe this past year? I’ll blame that on Covid. Spending more time at home, the absence of travel and less in-person contact has opened my eyes to a new relaxed style of clothing: athleisure wear. Ever heard of it? It’s really just a fancy term for sweat pants, but somehow it makes them seem more acceptable for everyday wear. Maybe that’s my justification, but either way I’m good with it!

At some point over the last few years I have developed a passion for discovering unusual, tasty foods and unique ingredients at a grocery stores. I’m always on the lookout for new snacks and ways to add a little spice to a life of healthy eating. I never know what I’ll find, and don’t always make the best decisions, but sometimes that’s part of the fun!

If you’re a fan of doughnuts and want to impress the most picky of breakfast goers, look no further! I’ll share with you a secret recipe that has made me the coolest mom ever, and has fooled my kids into believing I’m an amazing pastry chef! No, I’m just kidding about the second part. My kids know I’m no pastry pro, but with this recipe, you might just get someone to believe it! I can’t wait for you to give ‘em a try!

I don’t know about you but I’m counting down the days until 2020 is a thing of the past! And there’s no better way to celebrate in my opinion than with fun craft cocktails! I’ve composed a list of my favorite festive spirits to help you ring in the new year.

Each year I look forward to finding new ways to wrap gifts for the holidays. I’ll admit, I often get more excited about how they look on the outside than what they’re hiding on the inside.

I love using Thanksgiving as a way to reflect on the many blessings in my life. Normally we use this time to connect with family and friends, share traditions and celebrate each other around a table full of fabulous food.

If you love to cook like I do, this might just change your life. Well, not really, but it is one of the coolest new appliances I’ve seen in a long time…

I wish I had enough time and storage space to change up my decor for every holiday, but life seems to always move too fast for that! Instead, I focus on combining a mix of things I have laying around with a few new things to switch it up just enough…
