This is a sponsored conversation written by me on behalf of True Value. The opinions and text are all mine. As you know, I’ve been on a purge streak lately. I’ve said good riddance to so much clutter in our house that I’m actually a little embarrassed by just how much we had. Quickly followed…

NuCore Flooring: How It’s Holding Up After A Year
Multiple times a week, I get questions about the NuCore flooring we put down throughout the living room, dining room and kitchen in our house. Apparently, it’s become a very popular option in flooring. NuCore is an engineered floor, that looks like hardwood, but is actually a tough top layer of luxury vinyl adhered to a…
How I Made $2K+ in Two Months Selling Our Clutter
The title of this post speaks for itself. We had a ton of stuff piled up in the garage, in the guest bedroom, in our closets – everywhere. Yes, I have slight hoarding tendencies. Most of that stuff, we didn’t need. So I finally sifted through all the clutter, went all “You are the weakest…

5 Ways to Decorate Your Entire Home On a Tiny Budget
This is a sponsored post written by me on behalf of CORT. All opinions are 100% mine. With the farmhouse remodel, there are some rooms where the budget is teeny-tiny and by teeny-tiny, I mean practically non-existent. #truth The whole thing didn’t have a big budget to start with and then when we realized that we…

Super soft t-shirts. A gorgeous green velvet headboard. Face moisturizer. A classic striped tote. Cream curtain panels. Random list, yes.

Ya gonna hang weeds on the wall?
Disclosure: I partnered with Hayneedle on this makeover, however all opinions are 100% mine. My uncle has always tended to tell me like it is. So when he walked into the farmhouse a couple of weeks ago and saw framed botanical prints laying against the wall with a hammer and nails beside them, his remark…

A Diamond In the Rough
Disclosure: This post was sponsored, and paid for, by SunTrust Mortgage. All opinions are my own. When we found the 70’s Landing Pad, it was not perfect…by any stretch. In fact, it was downright ugly inside and out. We weren’t necessarily looking for a new home, but this one was in the perfect location. We…
The Farm: Traditional Casual Master Bedroom Design
I’m going to be real honest. I didn’t expect to be this excited about how the master bedroom is shaping up at the farm. When it comes to design, I’m usually not traditional at all. I mean, have you seen the 70’s Landing Pad? But with the farm house, I felt going more traditional, but…

How to Make a Party Banner with PicMonkey
The Circus has turned five. I’m not sure how we got here, or how we made it here all in one piece, but nevertheless, we did. #thankyajesus For her birthday party, she wanted a superhero theme – mostly Wonder Woman, but with a splash of Supergirl and Batgirl as well. #girlpower I was far too…
A Weekend in Nashville
For a girl who loves country music as much as I do, it should be no surprise that I love Nashville, Tennessee, Music City U.S.A. I grew up watching Ralph Emery host Nashville Now, The Crook and Chase Show and rarely missed a country countdown on TNN (The Nashville Network) from age five on. There…

DIY Party Invitation using PicMonkey
Once more, its that time of the year.
When Mama drinks a little more cheap beer than usual.
When she may cry simply because the streamers aren’t twisting just right.
When she is hovering on the edge of a nervous breakdown.
That’s right, its birthday season around here.
Why I put this much stress on myself for the kid’s party, I do not know. I mean, let’s be honest. The minute the kid dropped her first cuss word, that mother of the year award was out of my reach.
As if a perfectly decorated birthday party would bring it back.
One thing however, that is going right in the birthday planning is this DIY party invitation using PicMonkey*.
Bless you, PicMonkey.
Bless you for helping me keep a little piece of what sanity I have left.
The Easiest Way to Clean Really Gross Vinyl Upholstery
The Circus and I have trekked through some interesting places in our yard sale and estate sale adventures. There are times I pray she doesn’t blurt out something about how bad it stinks wherever we are or how dirty the place is. Oftentimes, I bathe her in Germ-X when we get back in the car….
Non-Cheesy Mommy and Me Outfits

12 Pairs of Sandals Under $30
Sandal season is upon us. Honestly, I’m usually not a huge sandal person. My favorite kind of shoes, during any season are my closed toe pumps.
