For the longest time, I have dreamed of giving my girls a rainbow playroom. The room we used for a playroom was painted purple when we bought the house. You'd think as a mom of girls, a purple playroom would be nice. However, the purple made the room pretty dark (the room is in the basement with no windows, so it's hard to get good lighting). The walls also were pretty scuffed up and needed a fresh coat of paint. So I decided to use the money I got for Christmas to tackle this playroom project I'd been dreaming of. I wanted to do a rainbow-inspired playroom for two reasons. First of all, it's Continue Reading

Christmas Gift Ideas for Her
I know there are tons of gift guides out there on the inter webs, so I don't write about Christmas gift ideas often. But a friend recently asked me what I wanted for Christmas because she wasn't sure what to ask for this year. Thinking of things I want isn't difficult for me, to be honest. I pretty much keep a wish list going all year long so when birthdays or Christmas come along, I am ready! Today, I will be sharing some ideas for the woman in your life -- split into two sections: things I want and things I already have and love. I hope it gives you some new ideas!

Savory Zucchini Bread with Cheese
Ya'll have probably had sweet cinnamon-y zucchini bread. It's pretty popular and delicious. But have you ever tried savory zucchini bread with, yes -- cheese!? It's also delicious, but not as popular. So I figure I should give it some spotlight because it deserves just as much popularity! Savory Zucchini Bread Let's get right to the recipe since I know that's what you're here for!

6 Amazon Household Finds We Love
I know everyone is worried about all the malls closing down all over the world thanks to online shopping, but I got to say I do love me some online shopping. Amazon may be taking over the world, and I may be OK with it. I can buy almost anything I could ever want with the click of a button and it will be delivered to my house in two days -- sometimes one! How could I not love that? I'm so thankful we got Amazon Prime and got these Amazon finds! I was recently thinking about some of my favorite things I've bought from Amazon. I love reading posts about great products or hearing recommendations Continue Reading
Whole Wheat Dark Chocolate Chip Oatmeal Cookies
If you follow me on Instagram, you saw that Raylee and I made these whole wheat cookies recently. They are my favorites! My mother-in-law always makes them and keeps bags of them in her freezer. I love eating them straight from the freezer, especially in the summertime. I really wanted to make a big batch of these to keep in our freezer before Ruthi arrives. I knew they would be a great pick-me-up type snack for me to quickly and easily grab between motherhood duties. Plus, since they contain oats I figure they can only help with lactation. These cookies are made with whole wheat flour, Continue Reading
8 Freezer Meals to Make Before Baby Arrives
Ya'll know I like to feel prepared before having a baby ... or actually any time! But especially right before such a huge change and life transition. Last time I was pregnant, a friend asked me if I'd like to do freezer meals together. We made several, and it was so helpful to have those meals tucked away and ready to use when we needed them. Now that I know how hard postpartum can be, I knew I wanted to make freezer meals again. When you haven't slept in days (or maybe even weeks) and the last thing you feel like doing is cooking, freezer meals can be a lifesaver! This time, I asked a Continue Reading
Kentucky Rainbow House: One Year Update
It has officially been one year since we moved here to Louisville. We closed on this house in March of 2018 and moved in that April. Moving is always a hard task, but little did we realize that the real work would begin after we were moved in! I lovingly call this house the rainbow house because when we moved in every room was painted a different color of the rainbow. The living room, dining room, and kitchen are all open concept but each one was painted green, yellow, and orange. The guest room was a Pepto-Bismol pink. Raylee's room was bright orange. The master bedroom was blue. Downstairs Continue Reading
Floor Cleaning Tools: My Two Favorites
Spring is right around the corner. I don't know about you, but I'm dying for it to get here! I'm so ready for the warmer temps and blooming flowers. We need some fresh air! Whenever spring time arrives, a lot of us get into cleaning mode! Do you like to spring clean? This year, I've got two new cleaning tools that are going to make cleaning all the floors in our house so much easier! It doesn't matter what kind of floors you have -- these two cleaning tools are the only things you need! Our entire basement is carpet, and the majority of our main floor is hard wood. I use one of these cleaning Continue Reading
Farmhouse Hutch Makeover
Since moving into our new house, we have so much more space than we used to. We have two living rooms! All of the furniture we already had went down into the basement living area, which left our main living room on the first floor completely empty. We plan to just get furniture pieces as we see them and can get a good deal on them. One day, to get out of the heat of the summer yet out of the house, Raylee and I walked the lanes at a local Peddler's Mall. Each booth is filled with furniture, household items, clothes, books, and who knows what all! There's lots to see. While there, I found an Continue Reading
Making Windows Private
Travis and I recently bought our first home that we will live in together. (Remember how we have bought a home before but only I lived in it and since we've sold it?) Anyways, with buying a house comes a lot of responsibility. Unless you build or buy a home brand new, there are going to be things you'll want to fix or update or change to match your preferences. I didn't realize quite how much work we'd want to do on this house. I knew we'd want to paint, and I was hoping we could get new floors ... but now that we've lived here awhile, we have a huge list of to-dos. The good news is, we have Continue Reading
Deep Cleaning a New Home
Our little family recently bought a new home and have moved to a new state. After closing, but before unloading all the boxes of our household goods, one important thing needed to be done. Deep cleaning. The family that moved out of this home obviously didn't do any cleaning before they left -- although, I was shocked at how clean the microwave was when we moved in. Travis and I have always rented due to the frequent moves that come with military life. That means we have never had to clean before moving in. This was different. We took on the task ourselves and spent one weekend cleaning the Continue Reading
