Merriest Christmas wishes!

I cant believe that Christmas is practically here! I just love this time of year!! 

 There is something so sweet about celebrating with family and friends our Savior’s birth and His life of service, his teachings of love, compassion and hope.

  May you all have a Joyous and peace filled Christmas! 

I sure love this family of mine that God has blessed me with! They are admittedly a wild bunch but boy do they light up my world💕! They have grown so much this year, not only physically but intellectually (as we’ve had grown up conversations to discuss whats happening in the world around them) and spiritually as we dedicated the hour before school/work each day To study the scriptures, discuss them and ponder the words of the prophets. Their tenacity for learning and gaining strength in all facets of life is truly inspiring!

Wishing you a Merry Christmas!

How to build a dream play kitchen -Kidkraft Play Kitchen makeover

Bored with our 5 year old play kitchen and uninspired by the new ones on the market, I transformed our old play kitchen into a fun designer showpiece for my daughters. Keep reading for ideas and resources to help you get the look, too.

We got this Kidkraft Play kitchen when my oldest was five years old (she's now 11😍).  It's been well loved over the years and had many nicks and scratches, even a broken door. We had moved multiple times since we first got it and it was now in a shared space in our basement. So, I decided it was time we updated this little kitchen and made it fit more our style. 

My daughters love to be in the kitchen. They love to mimic mama in the kitchen! It's the one toy that gets daily play, several hours a day. So, I was excited for the challenge to make their kitchen feel like-new again!

I had some left over wall paper from my modern farmhouse laundry room transformation, so I used it for the back splash. The wallpaper is a little pricey (fromS&L) but like I said, I already had it on hand. So, it was exactly what I needed to make this kitchen look high-end.

I painted the inside and outside of the cabinets Behr Starless Night. I left the sides white, to avoid excess work. I really love how sleek that color combo looks.

I spray painted all the fixtures, handles and sink with Krylon Color Master metallic. And as you can see I also painted the grocery kart gold😁.  

It took about a day for everything to dry, it was well worth the effort! Doesn't it look so cute?

Extra Magical Unicorn Party

Madison said all she wanted this year for her birthday was a unicorn party with her best friends. We weren't sure if it was going to happen, but thankfully it all worked out!

Oh and of course we needed to make a UNICORN CAKE. 

Halloween Party

Every year we love to throw a not-so-spooky Halloween Party. I realized with Adelle's birth I missed posting a ton of content I had created. So, here is a look at last year's party (as this year's party is still a bit in the air).

Halloween porch decor (Not too spooky)

 

I wanted to share some Halloween porch decor inspiration that is simple and easy because this year that's all anyone is looking for, right?

Kitchen Refresh

 

I just realized that there are a ton of home renovation projects that I never got around to posting up on the blog. So, here is one I did while Kyle was busy building the basement....

My favorite Personalized Self-Inking Stamps | The Stamp Company

Find out why thousands are buying these darling personalized self-inking stamps from The Stamp Company! A special thanks to The Stamp Company for sponsoring today's post. As always all opinions are mine alone.

Now, that we've been in our home for a bit, I thought it was about time we made a stylish stamp to embellish our stationary, envelopes and gifts! I love the look of Calligraphy but it just takes too much time (way more than I have:D). I really wanted something classic, mess-free and functional that I could use thousands of times with minimal effort. 

I'm happy to report that I found just what I was looking for while browsing through The Stamp Company's stylish collection of self-inking stamps. But, then I quickly realized that one stamp would just not suffice! They have SO many cute options to choose from!

Madison's 4th Birthday

I think October may be Madison's favorite month, with it having her birthday at the beginning of the month and the holy grail of candy celebrations at the end of the month. To say she enjoyed this month is quite the understatement.
