How can you not be happy when surrounded by pinks and greens?

And daisies!?

Stay ‘n’ Place

I used these rug tabs on the corners of the rug to keep it in place. You can buy them on Amazon also.

Cute green hand towel and then I added the pink scalloped bowl that matches the tray to this corner. Also bunnies! I can’t resist a cute bunny this time of year and these are adorable with their little bows! The dish cloths add pretty shades of pink and are perfect for guests or for Kole to use to wipe off the counter. Training him young. ;)

Textured Towels, similar ladder HERE & HERE

I hung the large towels here. A green stripe? Perfection.

Woven Trash Can, Framed Wall Art

I also picked up this woven trash can to go with the bunnies and added this pretty art I’ve had for a couple of years.

Framed Wall Art

It’s back in stock and screams spring/summer!

Woven Trash Can

Sidenote.. do you prefer your toilet paper over or under? I know the “correct” way is over but I’m clearly not interested in following the crowd. I have always had to have ours under! It’s so much easier to grab. Luckily nobody in my house cares other than me because that’s a hill I would have died on. ;)

Room Spray

Quick shout out for a bathroom essential. I’m loving this driftwood room spray! It smells so good – clean and refreshing.

Happy Sunday! Sharing a few quick round-ups today including your weekly favorites and cute things popping up for spring! Clothes and home decor are too much fun this time of year when spring lines come out. I’m especially feeling pinks and greens at the moment! Probably no surprise there. :) Wishing you the best Sunday and a great start to your week!

1 – SIGNS OF SPRING

Happy Saturday! I hope you had a good week! We had a few days of beautiful weather and it’s making me so excited for spring! I know spring comes earlier for us than for some of you so I’m sharing a dose of sunshine to help us remember that warmer weather and good times are ahead. It’s always nice to have something to look forward to isn’t it?

I get excited every year when I see the green leaves popping out on this tree.

Similar Black Pots

Also lemons! My trees always have the most lemons in January and February. A little pick me up during longer winter months. Time to bring these inside for a pick me up in the kitchen. :)

Similar Bench

2 – HALLWAY REFRESH

Faux Wreaths/another similar option (I ordered both to try and the only different is the little white flowers!)

The spring weather inspired a little re-fresh in my hallway! I had my Christmas wreaths up and the hallway felt so bare and sad without them so I ordered these mini spring wreaths to try. I love the wreaths but can’t decided honestly if I love them in the hallway or not! Some days I think they are the cutest and other days I think they clutter the molding. Ha. For now they are staying.

Checkered Rug

These rugs were a happy mistake! I ordered one for my laundry room and it was too long so I tossed it in my hall to get a sack to return it and then thought wait.. why do I love that so much in my hallway!? I promptly ordered another one and couldn’t love them more!

Checkered Rug, Faux Wreath, Faux Olive Tree (on sale!), Black Pot

I didn’t really NEED rugs in this spot, but they add so much personality and I love how they look with my lights, tree and pot! (Moved my family room tree/pot into the dining room for now and my tree is on sale this weekend!) Such a fun pattern and they lay really flat to the floor with a rubber backing (no pad needed). CUTE. A happy mistake indeed. :)

3 – RECENT HOME FAVORITES

More spring inside with some cute new additions I’m styling this weekend.. I’ll show you how I’m using them soon! Loving this pretty blush color palette and the scallop details on this tray/bowl!

Round Ceramic Vase, Bottle Ceramic Vase

Also hello gorgeous vases! Obsessed with this wavy look. They are nice quality and will look good paired together or on their own.

Dish Cloths, Heart Sponges, Triangle Dish Rack, Bamboo Dish Brush

Recent kitchen sink look. My island sink is smaller and I don’t like having my dish towel/sponge inside it or out on the counter so I ordered this cute little triangle dish rack! Perfect to keep things close but out of the way of the sink. I’ve had the kitchen sink grid for years and it really helps keeping your sink from getting scratches! You can find lots of sizes/options for sink grids here.

Dish Cloths, Heart Sponges, Triangle Dish Rack, Bamboo Dish Brush

4 – CORD FREE LIGHT

Rechargeable Lights

I wanted this cute little lamp in my kitchen but didn’t want to see the cord (our plug outlet is under the top cabinet) so I ordered this rechargeable light bulb and am loving it! It’s dimmable and has a little remote.

Rechargeable Lights, Lamp

Loving the added cozy light in my kitchen! It came in a set of two and I’m putting the other one in another lamp that I wanted in a spot with no outlet. These light bulbs open up so many possibilities for lamps in random spots!

5 – BACK IN STOCK

Ruffled Vase / Faux Tulips

My pretty ruffled vase is back in stock! I love it with faux tulips. I pulled it out last week and it made me so happy!

Clear Acrylic Vase / Spring Home (more acrylic vase options)

My acrylic vase is also back in stock and comes in a few fun options this year! Shorter versions and a round option I have and also love. I added them all to my Spring Home Amazon folder linked above.

Clear Acrylic Vase / Spring Home (more acrylic vase options)

So many fun ways to style it with different flowers.

6 – NEW ADDITION TO THE FAMILY

 New Balance Sneakers, Henley Top

My parents got a dog and he is the cutest! We spent last weekend in Utah with family and I didn’t want to set this little guy down. We snapped this pic on my way out of town.. sweats and no makeup but I saw that my henley top is on sale and had to share it because it’s such a staple in my closet.

Henley Top

I actually have 3 of them – all different colors. They are easy to dress up with jeans or I just wear them with sweats at home. Comfy and casual and cute!

Henley Top

While we’re in my closet can I just say that I’m still loving my wall of hats on hooks!

Ok.. I’m getting sidetracked.

Back to the dog. He’s a Yorkie Poodle mix (Yorkiepoo) and so snuggly and we are in love. I was seriously debating putting him in my suitcase and sneaking him home with me. That little face! Wonder if my parents would trade him for our lizard? Ha.

I won’t hold my breath.

:)

Enjoy your weekend!

Happy Sunday! Fun round-up today and so many items are on sale! Your favorites and spring finds and a few fun things I’ve ordered recently! Getting so excited for spring and warmer weather. I hope you’re having a beautiful weekend!

Valentine’s Day Gifts For HerValentine’s Day Gifts For Him

Happy Saturday! For today’s Saturday 6 I’m sharing a few things on major sale I have my eye on! This is one of the best sale weekends of the year (especially for home items!) and I’m having a hard time deciding between some of the items I shared below. A few I already have but most of these are on my wish list! I’m sharing favorites from Pottery Barn, Nordstrom and McGee & Co today and will share favorites from a few more stores over the weekend. I highlighted 6 items I love and added more favorites on sale below each of the 3 stores. Right now I have too many items in my on-line cart and need to edit. I’ve been cleaning out closets and don’t want to just add more stuff so I’m trying to make really smart purchases on items I know I will use and love for years! The problem is that many of these things seem to fit in that category.. ha. Too many cute things for spring! I love organizing and updating my home this time of year. Let me know if you see something you love that I shared!

Enjoy your weekend and happy sale shopping!

Happy Super Bowl Sunday! I hope you are enjoying your weekend! For today’s Sunday Edit I’m sharing your recent favorites from the blog, spring hosting ideas, dresses, new arrivals, valentines finds/gifts and Amazon deals. I have a few fun Super Bowl ideas too that I shared at the beginning of the week on IG. A little late now.. ha! But sharing them anyway in case anyone wants some fun ideas for another year. ;) I hope you have a relaxing day and good luck to your team – whichever team that is! I’ll be wearing my shirt like this and loving all the snacks, commercials and half time show. GO TEAM!

1 – MORNING WALKS

Good morning and happy Saturday from the trail! YEA.. the weekend is here. I have been so tired this week and I think it’s just from exercising more! I didn’t do much when my girls were home for the holidays clear into January so now that I’m walking every morning and going to the gym in the evenings with the boys again I’m definitely feeling it and crashing harder at night. Once I got in a good evening gym routine I tried not going on my early morning walk for a couple of days and it was a major fail. I know I sound like a broken record with this but my morning walks are seriously like taking a happy pill! Starting the day with movement and being outside makes a huge difference in my overall mood and productivity. It’s always cold so early in the morning but some days have been beautiful with blue skies..

and other days have not. Ha. I snapped this Friday morning. Such a dreary, rainy day but I still felt so much better after walking!

Kenny came with me too which made it fun. He has been joining me when he doesn’t have early morning meetings and I love the extra time with him. I snapped this pic so quick because we have a no phone rule during our walks! I have been meeting different friends early for these walks too and it’s such a fun way to start the day catching up with someone you love. I’m a fan. This night owl is becoming more of a morning person.

Kind of. ;)

2 – SPRING STEMS/NEW RUGS

{Faux Pink Magnolia Stems, Rattan Tray, Cake Stand}

Another pick me up around here? New spring stems. :) I couldn’t resist these magnolia branches! Perfect for spring and I love that they have white and a little pink in them so they will always work for winter/Valentine’s Day too. I bought three branches and love the way they look in this vase.

Faux Stems

PB has so many beautiful stems for spring! These are also gorgeous.

Faux Snowball Branch

I loved these too! Their faux flowers are always a little on the pricey side so I usually stick to stems that you only need a few branches to look good.

{Faux Pink Magnolia Stems, Rattan Tray, Cake Stand}

I ended up moving this fun arrangement to my dining nook. Hard to photograph against the window.. they look so pretty in person!

Area Rug

I got a new rug for my dining nook and it is reminding me so much of my beloved wool/jute family room rug. It’s soft and has so much texture.. a great neutral! It also has a spring vibe with the fun square pattern.

{Faux Pink Magnolia Stems, Rattan Tray, Cake Stand, Area Rug}

I snapped this with my phone and it was a little dark.

{Faux Pink Magnolia Stems, Rattan Tray, Cake Stand, Area Rug}

So I took this with my camera.. I need to try again when the lighting is working with me. Everything looks better in person!

Area Rug

I also finally laid down this runner I bought in December. Love a good stripe. It’s so beautiful!

Kitchen Runner, Area Rug

I like the way these two rugs work together with different patterns but similar neutrals. Both come in lots of sizes and would be beautiful in a living room too!

3 – VALENTINE’S DAY FUN

{Heart Garland, Doormat, Tulip Wreath,Pink Peonies, Black Fluted Planters}

I can’t believe Valentine’s Day is next week! That snuck up so quickly. I have been loving my Valentine’s Day Porch which is 100% just an excuse to keep my Christmas trees and lanterns up longer. My heart banner has been making me laugh. The hearts curl on humid days and then straighten out when it’s sunny and nice!

{Heart Garland, Doormat, Tulip Wreath, Pink Peonies, Black Fluted Planters}

Keeping the lights going through February and then I’ll bust out a spring porch.

Valentine’s Day Finds

Cutest heart mugs! If I wasn’t decluttering kitchen cabinets soon they would have come home with me. :)

Red Ice Cube Molds, Pink Ice Cube Molds

I did bring home these fun heart and rose ice cube molds. So FUN!

Pink Waffle Maker, Heart Waffle Maker

I also couldn’t pass on these mini waffle makers! I’ve used similar mini waffle makers in the past for holidays and the waffles always turn out so cute. Thinking I’ll make my boys a heart breakfast a few days next week. I’m sure they can’t wait! Ha. My girls aren’t here to get excited about holiday fun like this so now I just do it for my boys (whether they care or not). :)

Valentine’s Soup Bowl

I’ve been  using this cute bowl/tray for soup and sandwiches! We have been having a lot of soup and chili lately.

Soup Bowls

These bowls have also been perfect this time of year! Love the little spot for crackers.

Soup Bowls

They are Kole’s favorite too. :)

4 – SPRING FLATS

Ballet Flats, Cropped Pants

I’m so excited about these cute ballet flats! They are VERY comfortable and fun to wear with cropped pants. They come in so many colors/patterns. I’ve had these pants in green for years and love them so much I finally got them in black too.

5 – DECLUTTERING

I have been making so much progress around here but nothing that fun or pretty to share! Just lots of bags full of items to donate and shuffling the things I’m keeping around. I’m about to wrap up my decor closet (will share it soon!) and start my 15 minute a day organizing. Ready for some quick wins!

6 – FRIENDS

I have learned that I need two things to be happy in life.. people and purpose. (I think that’s true for a lot of us!) People being my #1.. relationships are everything! I have always valued friendship but this past year with my girls both moving out (my 2 built in besties!) I have been especially grateful for the close friends in my life. I see a friend or two most days whether it’s meeting for a quick lunch at a restaurant or cute cafe (love this little spot in Solana Beach!), walking or doing a fitness class together, or prioritizing girls nights and weekend road trips. Overall I’m an extrovert and I work from home alone so seeing friends daily is like going on a morning walk for me.. an instant upper! I’m sharing this because I think January and February can be hard months and it’s easy to feel isolated or lonely. If you haven’t spent time with a friend recently reach out to someone and make it happen! Put something on the calendar and don’t back out. Everyone is busy and it’s easy to get wrapped up in your day to day life with family and work and all the things, but prioritizing time with friends is something you will never regret.

Life lesson #347,684 from me that you didn’t necessarily need or want but got anyway. ;)

You deserve to have good friends in your life! From one friend to another. :)

Love you all and have the best weekend!

Happy Sunday! I hope you’re having a good weekend so far! Today was a good Saturday in my book because it included a walk with Kenny, time to organize (still in such a mess moving closet stuff around over here!) and a date night with friends. If only every day was a repeat. :) Today’s round-up is FUN. Some of your favorites (I’ll show a pic of that cute bow vase soon.. I’m loving it in my kitchen!), spring shoes (always a favorite topic!), a few Amazon recent orders and deals, cozy Valentine favorites and spring dresses from Target. Enjoy and do something you love today!

{Pajama Set, Heart Earrings, Travel Case, Body Lotion, Pink Pajamas, Cake Stands, Faux Branches}

Happy Saturday and happy February! I can’t believe January is over and I can’t believe that it actually went by quickly this year! Usually January feels like the longest month ever to me and I think it felt different this year because our girls were home from college through some of January making it feel like Christmas vacation was longer and January was shorter. Maybe that’s why? Who knows!? Whether January felt short or long to you this year it’s behind us and spring is right around the corner. YEA. :)

I am ready to add some life back into my home and have been looking for a new faux tree for the corner of my bedroom and a couple of other spots. I was feeling especially indecisive and really wanted to see the trees I loved on-line in my home before I made up my mind so I ended up ordering 6 trees – 3 smaller trees and 3 larger trees. Kenny came home from work and I was unboxing them in the mudroom.. it looked like a forest.. ha! Trees everywhere. He was like um.. what is happening!? Nevermind. Carry on.

All in a day over here. ;)

Moringa Tree

Sharing my 6 faux trees with you for today’s Saturday 6! I set them all in the same spot so you can get an idea of size. The first 3 are shorter and I want something larger and fuller for this corner but I honesty love all 6 of these tree so much and have a spot for one of the shorter trees too. This tree has a beautiful shape and I love the white modern pot.

Bay Leaf Tree in a Basket

Aren’t the leaves fun on this tree!? Such a deep, dark green and love the basket!

Pterocarpus Leaf Tree

This is a pretty tree with a similar look to the first tree but a basket vs. a pot. I like that you can make this tree have a full look or a slim look depending on how big your space is!

Shady Lady Tree

Cutest tall tree! This reminds me a lot of my PB tree I just shared in this post. Very realistic and the pot is so fun and unique! 10/10! It keeps selling out on-line and then coming back in stock. I’m definitely keeping it somewhere! But I want something fuller for this spot in my bedroom.

Gypsophila Leaf Potted Tree

This is a gorgeous tree! It’s so tall and thin so perfect for corners. I love the pot but wish it was just a little bit bigger for such a large tree. I might put this where my PB tree was in my family room and move that tree to a different corner. Musical trees around here at the moment! This is another tree that keeps selling out so if it’s in stock and you want it don’t wait. It has such a light and airy spring vibe!

Olive Tree

Winner for my bedroom corner! I LOVE a good olive tree and this is absolute perfection. The leaves! The shape! The pot and faux moss! Plus it’s the perfect size for this corner.. nice and full like I wanted! I moved it more into the corner and will get a better pic of how it looks with the whole room. It’s hard to tell the impact it made. I feel like my bedroom came alive!

I hope this was helpful if you are looking for a faux tree. They are such a good way to add warmth and life to your home without the maintenance! These 6 faux trees are all so realistic you really can’t tell they are fake until you are right up next to them. I’m a fan. :)

Enjoy your weekend!

Flameless Candle Lighter

I hope your week is off to a good start! It finally rained on Monday (so grateful!) which inspired lots of organizing and taco soup. I’m currently in the middle of a mess. Well.. a lot of messes! It always gets worse before it gets better right!? I’m in the “worse” stage and will hopefully have progress to share soon. Until then I thought it would be fun to share your Amazon favorites from 2024! These are the top 25 items you liked and bought the most and it’s always so interesting to me to see what you are all loving! Of course they are all things I love, but it’s fun seeing which items speak the most to you! These are mostly in order of your favorites and number 1 is my little candle lighter..ha! Who knew that would be such a hit!? I do love it and just used it today. Happy you all love it too!

Snack Box

My little snackle box was your second favorite! No surprise there.. this has come in so handy! I especially love it when we travel and for beach days. I’m giving my fridge a little makeover this week and ordered this divided serving tray and this divided veggie tray that are similar to try! I’ll let you know if I love them as much as the original.

Makeup Organizer

My girls’ makeup organizer was your #3 favorite and from one organizing lover to another.. it doesn’t surprise me at all you love it too! :)

Taper Candles

My taper candles were also in your top 5! These are such a staple for me! I use them year round but especially love pulling them out in the fall..

and during the Christmas season. Love having my house glow without worrying I’m going to burn the place down!

Planters

This set of 3 planters were also at the top of your list and I’m happy to be sharing them again at the beginning of a new year because they are perfect for so many things in the spring!

Faux Olive Tree/Planter

Love them inside as a base for faux trees. (This tree is a favorite and I’m going to be sharing more fun faux tree options soon!)

Faux White Shrubs, Planters

I also use them a lot on my porch with real or faux shrubs and flowers.

Faux White Shrubs

And speaking of faux white shrubs these made the favorites list too! They are very realistic and great for a spring porch before the weather is ready for real flowers. Or if you’re like me and want a hassle free porch that always looks good and requires no watering. You’re welcome. ;)

Candle Lanterns / Planter

These pretty lanterns also made the top 5 list! (I used the pots to hold Christmas trees this year too!)

Candle Lanterns / Christmas Wall Art Prints / 11 x 14 Wood Picture Frames / 8 x 10 Wood Picture Frames /Picture Hanging Strips

I took my tree and garland down but still have the lanterns up on my stairs! The gallery wall too. Thinking I’ll leave them up until March. I like turning them on sometimes for the extra light and glow in the winter.

Foldable Flip Seat

These portable outdoor chairs were #8 on the favorites list! We use these all year long. I especially love them for evening hot tub sessions when we’re all chatting because it’s nice to be able to sit with your feet in when you overheat and need a break!

Foldable Flip Seat

Shoe Organizer

Who is working on their master closet this year!? I conquered 90% of mine last year (still have a few drawers left to go through!) and this little shoe organizer is such a favorite!

Shoe Organizer

Shoe Organizer

I keep it in my closet but it works great to slide under a bed if you’re short on closet space.

{shoe organizer/sutherland canopy bed/stripe linen duvet cover/stripe linen shams/grey linen blend comforter grey sham/stitched throw pillow/charcoal zuma blanket/linen gauze throw/linen gauze bed blanket/black terracotta table lamp/metal framed mirror}/marble tray/vase/ faux tulips}

Perfect for seasonal shoes you don’t have room for!

Clean Skin Towels

You loved these clean skin towels as much as I do! I know I overshared them, but they are definitely one of my favorite finds in 2024! So soft to take make-up off or dry my face with at night but I get equally as excited about having something to wipe my counter off with after! Ha.

Pocket Hug

I was so happy to see the pocket hug made the list! The cutest gift. Ad has taken it with her for every test so far in college (so cute.. she sends us a picture with it on every exam day!). Perfect little good luck charm. El loves hers too. Who doesn’t want a hug in their pocket to pull out whenever needed? :)

Hat Organizer

The hat organizer is also a favorite! I just put 3 of Kenny’s hats away on it today. For some reason he seems to forget he has this little gem and leaves his hats all over the house. He’s so lucky to have me. And this organizer. ;)

Hat Organizer

Makeup Brush Cleaner / New Makeup Brush Cleaner / Cleaner Solution

This makeup brush cleaner also made the list! I do love this! BUT a few months ago I ordered THIS ONE and I can already tell I’m going to use it more. For some reason I never want to pull the one above out because I have to plug it in. Ha! I know that seems so dumb! But the new brush cleaner takes 2 seconds to pull out and use without a plug so I keep gravitating towards it. You can also flip it over to store the brushes while they dry. I’ll share a pic of it soon! They are both great options for cleaning makeup brushes.

Bracelet Set

My bracelets made the list! I just cleaned out my jewelry and kept every bracelet in this set!

Bracelet Set

Some of my most worn bracelets even though they are the least expensive. Go figure! Happy you love them too. :)

Faux Hydrangeas

Many of you love these faux hydrangeas! The best I’ve found. I’m excited to pull them out again this year!

 {Birdie, Wet Brush, Olaplex Set, Lululemon Wristlet}

The Birdie alarm was on your favorites list too! A gift for my girls last Easter to take to college and this is reminding me that I need to check in again and make sure they are still taking them everywhere on campus!

Tosy Disc, Star Projector

Two of Kole’s favorites also made the list! Both are fun gifts for boys.

Star Projector

The star projector plays music and has a white noise sound machine but the reason Kole really loves it is because of this..

Star Projector

It switches colors too. So cool. :)

Trash Can

Last but not least is this cute little motion sensor trash can! Still a favorite in several of our bathrooms.

Trash Can

Swipe your hand near the lid and it pops right up! It’s the little things. :)

This list isn’t all 25 because the rest were Christmas items! You can see the full list HERE if you want to check those out too. Enjoy your day and I’ll be back with progress around here soon!

Happy Sunday! I hope your weekend is going well! We are supposed to get some rain today. Please let it be so! I have a fun Sunday round-up that includes your weekly favorites, Amazon orders and deals, gift ideas for Valentine’s Day and new home and fashion arrivals from Target! I’m hoping to do a little more organizing today. Kenny and I went through our closet Saturday and have several bags to donate so I’m feeling good about that! I’m determined to keep that space under control this year and to do that we have to only keep what we are wearing and loving. If I buy something new I have to donate something else. I can always tell when it’s time because I run out of hangers! I used to just buy more hangers which is why I’m in this mess. Ha. Not anymore! It’s a new me in 2025.

Really just the old me who is better about keeping our master closet under control. ;)

Enjoy the rest of your weekend!
