Today I’m sharing a handful of recent garage sale finds with you! I’ve found some really neat things in the home decor department that I am excited about! A couple things are work in progress, but I’ll show you the before and share the after once the project is complete!

I have so much fun changing up the decor on my coffee stand every month! This month I did a summer-y citrus vibe. Again, it is so simple and inexpensive to switch out and I store these items in a bin that is easily accessible! The Dollar Tree has AMAZING little items to help give you the vibe you are looking for!

Are we sick of me talking about planting and gardening ALL.THE.TIME?! (I’m sorry, I just love it!!). Thrifty Thursday today is all about these tall rattan planters from Aldi. They are seasonal and back in stock now – R U N! When you compare these to the price and style of other rattan planters on Amazon (for example), these are literally dirt cheap in comparison ($103 v. $16.99)

This post has been a long time coming. We finally got my son’s bedroom “pretty much” completed. I say that because I am still searching for the perfect nightstand and table lamp. I do like exploring garage sales and flea market sales for those items, but given the uncertainty of the virus – I’m not sure how much garage-saling I will be doing this year. Nevertheless, I wanted to show you how his “industrial style airplane” room came together!

I’ve been so excited to get this bathroom finished up so I could share it with you! While I would normally make a trip to HomeGoods/TJ Maxx to find some finishing decor touches, I used what I had to make due.

This week I wanted to share some ways I save when it comes to all things baby.
First off, taking three kiddos out and about particularly during this phase in life is quite an endeavor. I used to do it with two a lot more often and now I am opting for online shopping since we live in a world of 1-2 day shipping! I purchase my baby products via Target because I think I end up saving more the way I do it (I had an excel sheet breaking down costs including the gift cards I would receive, ha!)and I really love their Up&Up brand.
Today I wanted to share the cycle I follow in terms of baby supplies, baby food, and diapering.
I can’t believe March is here on Sunday! Decided to get a jump start on updating my coffee tray to celebrate St. Patrick’s Day. This was super easy to update – VERY INEXPENSIVE and just the right amount of festive!

I’ve truly enjoyed decorating my tiered coffee stand seasonally, and even more fun, finding awesome deals on little items to decorate it. I was able to give my coffee stand a traditional Valentine’s Day makeover complete with red roses, greenery and hearts – courtesy of the Dollar Tree

I never decorated my kitchen for Christmas – I’m not sure if it was because our kitchen was super cluttered and small at our old house, but I am now having fun with some of the extra space we have at our new house.
This year, I wanted to add a little something Christmas-y to our kitchen – I love when people hang wreaths from ribbons on their windows outside, so I decided to get a little creative and do one for our kitchen window that would match the indoor theme we have going on! This wreath was a super easy and inexpensive DIY

Sharing some thrifty Thursday finds that I highlighted in my Instagram stories!
My house during the Christmas season is my favorite! The lights, the greenery, the glitter – I LOVE LOVE LOVE it! I sometimes wonder why I don’t and why it is socially unacceptable to leave the decor out year round!

Happy Friday everyone! I love seeing when other bloggers do these posts, so I figured I would jump in and do one myself!

Thanksgiving and the holidays are fast approaching and so is all the TRAVEL associated with this time of the year. We happen to be driving 5+ hours to our holiday destination and while the drive is somewhat manageable, there will be a need to keep the two bigger kiddos occupied during our trip. I’m already foreshadowing our daughter asking “are we there yet” 5 minutes into our drive for hours on end…
This year the kids are big enough where they might not be sleeping as much during the drive, so I decided to pack a “travel activities bin” for them both to look forward to! They have already been asking if they can start playing with some of the toys and I keep hyping up the trip, telling them they have to wait – which is key! These items have to be new and something they are looking forward to!

Though we will not be hosting Thanksgiving this year, I still wanted to have the dining room looking festive (and I’m a nerd and love decorating tables) – so I pulled out the China and got to work with what I had around the house to create an easy, elegant and festive tablescape.

We celebrated my daughter’s 4th birthday with family a couple weekends ago and I am now starting to plan my son’s 2nd birthday party, so I figured why not share some tips and thrifty tricks I use for every party/celebration. These are things I do pretty much every party we have and they have helped me keep things cute yet very budget friendly because seriously you could drop quite a bit of dough on throwing a kids party!

Happy Friday everyone, I hope you all had an amazing week! I feel like everyone is freaking out about back to school already—how can this be?! I would totally feel the same way if my kiddos were older—I am even getting sad thinking about my daughter being gone for half the day only three days a week!
