Fridge Favorites

Valentine's Day (Sunny Side Up)

Happy Valentine’s Day! I hope you feel the love today from someone in your life! And if not just know that I’m sending love and a huge hug your way. If you’re reading this I have a feeling that we have a thing or two in common which connects us instantly. ;)

I’ve been making my boys heart waffles this week and they turned out so cute!

Valentine's Day (Sunny Side Up)

{Heart Waffle Makers}

My first attempt was an epic fail, but now I have it figured out (less is clearly more with the batter.. ha). I found this fun waffle maker on-line and it looks so good if you want to make more at one time. It’s sitting in my on-line cart and will most likely land on my doorstep. I think it will be fun to use when the kids have friends over even if it’s not Valentine’s Day.

Valentine's Day (Sunny Side Up)

Hearts are always a good thing. :)

Fridge Favorites (Sunny Side Up)Fruit and Veggie Tray

I’m sharing some recent fridge favorites today! I love my snackle box so much for snacks that I decided to try some similar options for my fridge. This fruit and veggie tray has been perfect. I love that I can just pull the whole thing out and take off the lid and we have healthy snacks ready to eat. If Kole wants blueberries with his breakfast I just pull out the smaller removable tray.

Fridge Favorites (Sunny Side Up)Fruit and Veggie Tray

Sometimes I take out all of the removable trays and use the large tray for our lettuce. I don’t know how long this will keep lettuce fresh to be honest because we go through ours pretty fast and always eat it long before it goes bad, but this has been a perfect solution at our house.

Fridge Favorites (Sunny Side Up)Fruit and Veggie Tray

One afternoon when I knew I would be in the car for a few hours driving Kole around I just picked this fruit/veggie tray up by the handle and took the whole thing with me!

Fridge Favorites (Sunny Side Up)Divided Snack Tray

This divided snack tray is the same concept and another favorite I bought at the beginning of the year.

Fridge Favorites (Sunny Side Up)Divided Snack Tray

I pull the small trays out on this one and take them with me in the car almost every afternoon. A year and a half until Kole is driving himself around. I can’t even imagine life without being an uber for my kids!

Fridge Favorites (Sunny Side Up)Plastic Storage Bins

I’ve been excited about these plastic storage bins for a while now because the large size is perfect for the yogurt we  like to eat. (Kenny and I each like a different brand.. ha.)

Fridge Favorites (Sunny Side Up)

Plastic Storage Bins

I can fit two side by side and they are the perfect height. I was using smaller bins for yogurt before and couldn’t fit as many inside. These come in multiple sizes!

Fridge Favorites (Sunny Side Up)Deli Storage Containers

This deli storage container is perfect for turkey and cheese. Or any meat! You can pull out the divider too if you want to store something larger like hot dogs or bacon. There is a spot on the lid where you can write the expiration date with a dry erase marker too. Genius.

Fridge Favorites (Sunny Side Up)Deli Storage Containers

I’m clearly a fan of lids that snap. :)

Fridge Favorites (Sunny Side Up)

Egg Holder

Love this egg holder too. It’s stackable if you buy a lot of eggs and the inside tray slants so when you take one egg out the next in line rolls forward.

Fridge Favorites (Sunny Side Up)Fridge Favorites /

Our fridge never looks the exact same week to week but we do have some things that I always buy and these containers have been favorites on repeat. I still use these Walmart containers too from time to time, but right now I’m loving these larger divided trays for feeding my crew. Easy to just set one thing out on the counter for them to devour! Nothing is safe and lasts long when you live with a 14 year old boy. :) Also yes.. I know Coke Zero isn’t the healthiest but I’m a firm believer in balance. ;)

Fridge Favorites (Sunny Side Up)

Lazy Susan Organizer

This is an item I ordered to try in January but it didn’t fit great on my fridge shelves (mine aren’t very deep). I wanted to share it as an option in case it works for you! A great way to store smaller bottles and items that can easily get lost towards the back of the fridge. This swings out making everything easily accessible.

Amazon Favorites (Sunny Side Up){Pizza Storage Container}

I’ve shared this pizza storage container before.. genius and we use it all the time!

Amazon Favorites (Sunny Side Up)

Pizza Storage Container

It comes with 5 dividers to lay slices of pizza on, but sometimes I don’t use them and just stack the pizza so that I can fit more slices!

Amazon Favorites (Sunny Side Up)

Pizza Storage Container

The bottom expands to fit a lot.

Amazon Favorites (Sunny Side Up)

Pizza Storage Container

So much smarter than a huge pizza box that takes up half the fridge!

Amazon Favorites (Sunny Side Up)

Collapsible Microwave Covers

Not really for the fridge, but I also love these collapsible microwave covers.

Amazon Favorites (Sunny Side Up)

Collapsible Microwave Covers

This small cover works perfectly over bowls!

Amazon Favorites (Sunny Side Up)

Collapsible Microwave Covers

No more splashing and mess!

Amazon Favorites (Sunny Side Up)Collapsible Microwave Covers

You can also flip them upside down and use them as a strainer.

Amazon Favorites (Sunny Side Up)Collapsible Microwave Covers

They collapse thin so they are easy to store!  They also wash easily and you can put them in the dishwasher.

Nothing like a clean and organized fridge!

Planning on getting take out tonight so that mine stays that way.

;)

Enjoy your Friday!

xoxo, Erin

Saturday 6

1 – MORNING WALKS

morning walks (Sunny Side Up)

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..

morning walks (Sunny Side Up)

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!

morning walks (Sunny Side Up)

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

Spring Stems (Sunny Side Up)

{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.

Spring Stems (Sunny Side Up)

Faux Stems

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

Spring Stems (Sunny Side Up)

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.

Spring Stems (Sunny Side Up){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!

Kitchen Rug (Sunny Side Up)

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.

Kitchen Rug (Sunny Side Up){Faux Pink Magnolia Stems, Rattan Tray, Cake Stand, Area Rug}

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

Kitchen Rug (Sunny Side Up){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!

Kitchen Rug (Sunny Side Up)

Area Rug

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

Kitchen Rug (Sunny Side Up)

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

Valentine's Day Porch (Sunny Side Up){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!

Valentine's Day Porch (Sunny Side Up)

{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 (Sunny Side Up)

Valentine’s Day Finds

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

Valentine's Day (Sunny Side Up)

Red Ice Cube Molds, Pink Ice Cube Molds

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

Valentine's Day (Sunny Side Up)

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 Day (Sunny Side Up)

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.

Valentine's Day (Sunny Side Up) Soup Bowls

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

Valentine's Day (Sunny Side Up) Soup Bowls

They are Kole’s favorite too. :)

4 – SPRING FLATS

Spring Shoes (Sunny Side Up)

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

Organizing (Sunny Side Up)

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

friends (Sunny Side Up)

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. ;)

friends (Sunny Side Up)

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!

Saturday 6

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. ;)

Saturday 6 (Sunny Side Up Blog)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.

Saturday 6 (Sunny Side Up Blog)

Bay Leaf Tree in a Basket

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

Saturday 6 (Sunny Side Up Blog)

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!

Saturday 6 (Sunny Side Up Blog)

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.

Saturday 6 (Sunny Side Up Blog)

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!

Saturday 6 (Sunny Side Up Blog)

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!

2024 Amazon Favorites

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!

2024 Amazon Favorites (Sunny Side Up)

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.

2024 Amazon Favorites (Sunny Side Up)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! :)

2024 Amazon Favorites (Sunny Side Up)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..

2024 Amazon Favorites (Sunny Side Up)

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

2024 Amazon Favorites (Sunny Side Up)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!

2024 Amazon Favorites (Sunny Side Up)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!)

2024 Amazon Favorites (Sunny Side Up)

Faux White Shrubs, Planters

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

2024 Amazon Favorites (Sunny Side Up)

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. ;)

Stair Candles (Sunny Side Up)

Candle Lanterns / Planter

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

2024 Christmas Home Tour (Sunny Side Up)

Candle LanternsChristmas 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.

2024 Amazon Favorites (Sunny Side Up)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!

2024 Amazon Favorites (Sunny Side Up)Foldable Flip Seat

2024 Amazon Favorites (Sunny Side Up)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!

2024 Amazon Favorites (Sunny Side Up)

Shoe Organizer

2024 Amazon Favorites (Sunny Side Up)Shoe Organizer

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

2024 Amazon Favorites (Sunny Side Up)

{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 towels (Sunny Side Up)

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.

2024 Amazon Favorites (Sunny Side Up)

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? :)

2024 Amazon Favorites (Sunny Side Up)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. ;)

2024 Amazon Favorites (Sunny Side Up)Hat Organizer

2024 Amazon Favorites (Sunny Side Up)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.

2024 Amazon Favorites (Sunny Side Up)Bracelet Set

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

2024 Amazon Favorites (Sunny Side Up)Bracelet Set

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

2024 Amazon Favorites (Sunny Side Up)

Faux Hydrangeas

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

2024 Amazon Favorites (Sunny Side Up)

 {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!

2024 Amazon Favorites (Sunny Side Up)

Tosy Disc, Star Projector

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

galaxy projector (Sunny Side Up)

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..

night lights (Sunny Side Up)Star Projector

It switches colors too. So cool. :)

2024 Amazon Favorites (Sunny Side Up)Trash Can

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

2024 Amazon Favorites (Sunny Side Up)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!

Sunday Edit (Sunny Side Up)

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!

Saturday 6

1 – NEW DECOR CLOSET (PHASE 1!)

Organized Closet (Sunny Side Up)

{Large Seagrass Crate, Seagrass Crate,Herringbone Weave Basket}

Happy Saturday! I have a fun round-up for today’s Saturday 6. Organizing has officially begun! If you have been with me awhile you might remember this closet! It used to hold the kids’ toys and was always oh so organized. When the kids stopped playing with toys I attempted to re-organize this space but lost steam somewhere along the way. It has been a mess of random things ever since! I bought baskets for it a few years ago, but one by one I moved the baskets to different rooms to hold other things. This closet is valuable storage space in our home and it has not been meeting its full potential! SO.. I cleaned everything out and wiped down the shelves and bought these beautiful baskets to kick start a new identity for this closet! I’m moving all of my extra home to this space. Right now I have extra decor ALL OVER my house. Time to edit and consolidate! (And decorate along the way.) :)

Organized Closet (Sunny Side Up)

{Large Seagrass Crate, Seagrass Crate,Herringbone Weave Basket}

I’ve actually used these baskets before in other spots in my home and love them. They are beautiful and hold a lot!

Organized Closet (Sunny Side Up){Large Seagrass Crate, Seagrass Crate,Herringbone Weave Basket}

The large baskets on the bottom shelf are favorites for throws!

Herringbone Weave Basket, Chunky Wool Jute Rug

I have one next to our couch and it has been perfect to toss in blankets after movie nights. This is a pic I took last year.. I love the herringbone pattern and faux leather handles and it is so spacious! It holds a lot. I was excited to pick up a few more!

Organized Closet (Sunny Side Up){Large Seagrass Crate, Seagrass Crate,Herringbone Weave Basket}

Hoping to share more progress on this closet makeover soon. I’ve got my work cut out for me next week.. wish me luck!

2 – ORGANIZED JEWELRY

Organized Jewelry (Sunny Side Up) Jewelry Organizer, 25 Section Jewelry Organizer, Ring + Bracelet Organizer

Here is a fast project I did a few nights ago while Kenny and I watched a movie. I love spreading a blanket out during movie night and organizing something. So therapeutic. :) Time to tackle jewelry! That pile in the left corner is all being donated.

Organized Jewelry (Sunny Side Up) Jewelry Organizer, 25 Section Jewelry Organizer, Ring + Bracelet Organizer

These trays from Target are so pretty! You can buy them separately or as a set with a lid. I bought both because I wasn’t sure what I wanted to use and how many trays I would need.

Organized Jewelry (Sunny Side Up)Ring + Bracelet Organizer

I’m only keeping favorites I wear often.

Set the stacked box in your bathroom or closet or put the single trays inside of drawers.. either way it’s a beautiful set and I’m so happy to have my jewelry all in one place and only favorites I actually wear in front of me!

3 – BEST DRAWER ORGANIZERS

Drawer Organizers (Sunny Side Up)25 Piece Organizers

Ok.. I’ve used A LOT of clear organizers for drawers in my day and I have to say that this set is PHENOMENAL. I’m seriously thinking about switching some of my bathroom organizers out for these. They are thick and good quality and a great height (tall enough to hold a lot but not too tall to fit in drawers). They aren’t expensive (they come in a set of 25 for $25 so a dollar each!) and the best part? THEY DON’T SLIDE.

These organizers have space around them (they aren’t packed in tight) and I can open and close this drawer over and over and they don’t even budge! They have little grips on the bottom that really hold to the base of the drawer. I love that I don’t have to use putty to hold them in place.

One drawer done in my office! Lots more to go. :)

4 – SNACKLE BOXES

Snackable Valentine's Boxes (Sunny Side Up){Snackle Box, Heart Snackle Box, Flower Snackle Box, Valentine Snackle Box, Pink Snackle Box, Pedestal Pink Bowl}

How cute are these snackle boxes!? Love them to give as Valentine’s gifts to girl friends, teachers, teens.. everyone would love one! They are selling out so quickly and I’m hoping they re-stock! But if not I linked some other fun similar options that I didn’t get a pic of but are basically the same thing. I’m thinking about ordering the heart or flower to send to my college girls! Fill them with candy or other fun Valetine’s Day surprises!

Valentine’s Day Gift Tags

I also put these heart Valentine’s Day tags in my printable library that would be cute to attach to the snackle boxes or any other gift you are giving! I need to print them on cardstock and cut them out! I printed them quick just to snap a pic to show you what they look like.

5 – CLEAN ATTIC

Ok.. can I just say that it took me SO LONG to get my Christmas decor put away this year! DO NOT let me put so much up next year.. ha! I finally got it all put away and organized in my upstairs attic space and it’s always the best feeling isn’t it!?

Storage Bags

It’s like a giant game of Tetris getting everything organized and back in place. My storage bags are still holding ALL the Christmas pillows and throws! Love them.

Good-bye for now Christmas! Until we meet again.

6 – WEEK HIGHLIGHTS

Saturday 6 (Sunny Side Up)

I started my early morning walks again and while I don’t love getting out of bed in the morning, I absolutely love watching the sun come up! A quick walk before my day starts works wonders for my mood and productivity. I notice a huge difference on days I don’t go. It’s so cold! But so worth it.

A little highlight from the week I shared on IG stories. Made my day!

So does chatting with all of you. :)

Enjoy your weekend!

1 – CLEAN SLATE

Saturday 6 (Sunny Side Up)

Happy Saturday! I’m a little slow this year but finally got Christmas put away!

Saturday 6 (Sunny Side Up)

I’m actually still working on my attic.. going through everything and donating/organizing all of my seasonal decor. But it’s not up in the main rooms anymore so progress! It always feels so empty when it comes down doesn’t it!? It makes me a little sad but also excited for a fresh start.

Saturday 6 (Sunny Side Up)

Looking pretty bare around here at the moment! I’m excited to decorate.

Saturday 6 (Sunny Side Up)

And to go through ALL the cupboards, drawers and closets! I’m on a mission to de-clutter like never before. :)

Also loving all of these cute options from Pottery Barn!

3 – HANDHELD VACS

Saturday 6 (Sunny Side Up)Shark Handheld Vacuum 

You know I’m all about a good hand held vacuum. I have several and use and love them all! I like keeping them in different rooms throughout my house for quick drawer clean outs. This is such a good one! A great size, high power and easy to hold.

Saturday 6 (Sunny Side Up)Shark Handheld Vacuum 

It’s narrow at the top so perfect for tight spaces in-between drawer dividers.

Saturday 6 (Sunny Side Up)Cordless Vacuum

This is another long time favorite! I keep this near my bathroom and the rose gold vacuum in my kitchen.

4 – LAMP

Saturday 6 (Sunny Side Up)

 Woven Table Lamp

Can we all agree that this is one of the cutest little lamps EVER!?

Saturday 6 (Sunny Side Up) Woven Table Lamp

I put it next to my pitcher so you can see the size of it. I’m still deciding where it will land.. it looks cute everywhere I set it!

5 – COMFY CLOTHES

Saturday 6 (Sunny Side Up)

PAIGE Jeans, Heart Sweater

A few cute things I wore this week! A comfy heart sweater with my favorite jeans.

Saturday 6 (Sunny Side Up)Bow Sweater, PAIGE Jeans 

This bow sweater is so cute too! It’s very cropped so I like it with high waist jeans. I also wear it over my workout clothes. It’s cute over a fitted tank!

Saturday 6 (Sunny Side Up)

Pajama Tank Top, Pajama Pants, Sweater Robe

Comfy Target pjs for the win! Warm and cozy and the cardigan/sweater robe is perfect for winter. In the summer you can take it off and just sleep in the tank and pants.  Also put together enough to run kids to school in.. winning!

6 – HEART RING

Saturday 6 (Sunny Side Up)

Heart Ring / Stacked Rings}

My cute heart ring is also back in stock! I’ve been wearing it all week.. one of my favorites for January/February. There are so many cute heart ring options HERE. Such a cute Valentine gift for a daughter/mother/sister/friend!

1 – FETA & TOMATO DIP

Saturday 6 (Sunny Side Up)

{similar serving tray}

Happy Saturday! First Saturday 6 of 2025. Let’s do this. :) I made this family favorite dip a few times over Christmas break and thought I’d share the recipe again if any of you want to try it. It is SO GOOD and SO EASY to make.

Saturday 6 (Sunny Side Up)

All you need is Olive Oil, Feta Cheese, Roma Tomatoes, Green Onions, this Greek Seasoning and a fresh Baguette.  My sister has been making this every December for over 10 years but found it on-line so it’s not technically “our” recipe but we love it so we say it is. :) We always make it over the 4th of July too. The pop of red makes it fun for holiday get togethers.

Pour some olive oil onto a platter. Chop your tomatoes and dice the green onions and put them over the olive oil.  Add some crumbled Feta and then sprinkle the Greek Seasoning on top. Stir it up and serve with slices of fresh bread. YUM.

2 – NEW YEAR FAVS

Saturday 6 (Sunny Side Up)Desk Calendar, Planner

I’m sad about the the kids all heading back to school, but I’m also excited about getting back into my daily routine. Time to plan ALL the things! Nothing makes me happier than a good planner. Or 2.

Saturday 6 (Sunny Side Up)

Or 3 or 4. Ha. I can’t resist a good planner and I love all of these so much I’m using them all! The large desk calendar for big picture trips/events, the 2025 planner for blog/work, the to-do notebook for day to-dos and the notebook for brain dumps when I just want a big list to check off. I’m sure I’ll rotate these around but they keep me motivated! Day to day events are on my phone but I like my lists for daily to-dos. I also always pick up new pens and new scissors to kick off the year. It’s the little things in life. :)

Saturday 6 (Sunny Side Up)

The Let Them Theory

One more New Year favorite.. I couldn’t wait to read this! I’m a huge Mel Robbins fan (have listened to her podcast since she started it) and this book does not disappoint.  I listened to it all on audible in Maui and am going to re-read the hard copy now. I’m making Kenny and the girls read it too! Bottom line is focusing on what you can control and letting go of things you can’t. Did any of you read it over the break? 10/10!

3 – KENNY’S FAVORITES

Saturday 6 (Sunny Side Up)Air Fryer

Kenny got an air fryer for Christmas and he is a little TOO excited about it. He is air frying everything and driving us all crazy. Ha. I love that he loves it! But he is making lots of Salmon lately and the smell is killing me. (I don’t like fish and struggle with the smell of it!) The kids have been laughing at his enthusiasm over his meal and my enthusiasm that quickly follows while I scrub out the air fryer, open every window in the kitchen, light 3 candles and then pop pop corn to cover the smell. It’s a fun nightly routine we are in at the moment!

Saturday 6 (Sunny Side Up)The North Face Backpack/my beloved Amazon backpack

I also gave him this backpack for Christmas this year.. perfect for travel! I would definitely recommend the air fryer and the backpack!

Just not the Salmon.

4 – ERIN’S FAVORITES

Saturday 6 (Sunny Side Up)Brush Set / Faux Fur Blanket

A few things Santa brought me and the girls that I love! New sets of my favorite make-up brushes.

Saturday 6 (Sunny Side Up)Lip Duo / Faux Fur Blanket

Lip gloss that gives a slight plump! Buxom has been a favorite for years. I bought this set for me and the girls from Nordstrom and it sold out quickly but I found it on Amazon too! Lots of color options here. I like the clear the best to put over my lip stick.

Saturday 6 (Sunny Side Up)Socks Set

These socks are so good! I just ordered more. Thin, lightweight, super cozy and a great fit. I like this set.. perfect neutrals! I’ve been wearing them every day with my sneakers.

5 – WARM & COZY

Saturday 6 (Sunny Side Up)

Speaking of wearing every day. My January wardrobe is all about comfort. Jeans and a hoodie/sweatshirt of some sort!

Saturday 6 (Sunny Side Up)

This hoodie is so cute with bows on the back of the sleeves! Really soft and warm too.

Saturday 6 (Sunny Side Up)

I’ve been living in it running all the errands with this cute girl!

Saturday 6 (Sunny Side Up)

My Pisces crewneck is another favorite as of late. All the Zodiac signs are available in different colors. So cute and comfortable! Any other Pisces out there?

Saturday 6 (Sunny Side Up)

Oversized Sweatshirt, Initial Necklace Ankle Jeans, Sneakers

This sweatshirt is co cute and casual. I love the v neck and how it fits. It runs large so I bought one size down from my regular size (wearing xxs). So cute and comes in other colors too!

Saturday 6 (Sunny Side Up)Scuba Jacket, Leggings, Sneakers

Santa brought Ad this cute Lulu Scuba jacket and now I want one too! If she was still living here all the time I would be sneaking it out of her closet. So cute. She is so easy to shop for because we have the same taste and wear a lot of the same things. Fun to share with my girls at this stage! I just buy Ad things I want/love. El has totally different taste in clothes and I don’t dare risk it with her so she gets gift cards. Ha. :)

6 – TARGET RED & PINK

Saturday 6 (Sunny Side Up)

Target has so many cute things out for Valentine’s Day! It’s making me feel better about taking my Christmas down this weekend. Boo.. I hate taking it all down! But these cute heart dishes will be fun to use in the kitchen.

Saturday 6 (Sunny Side Up)

Saturday 6 (Sunny Side Up)

Cute little mug for hot chocolate! I need to drink more water this year but hot chocolate in a cute heart mug in-between will help it go down easier. ;)

Enjoy your weekend!

p.s. Thank you so much to everyone who has reached out about the fires. So kind of you to think of us. We are two hours away from it all and so far our air quality hasn’t been an issue. We are beyond devastated for everyone affected and have been glued to the news watching updates. To lose your home and community like that is just unimaginable. We have had to evacuate for fires in the past several times and have close friends in LA so this is really hitting home and I find myself in tears on and off all day. Like many of you we are doing what we can to help at this stage (there are so many amazing people jumping in and ways to donate!) and we are sending love and prayers to anyone affected. Thank you again for thinking of us! It means so much to me.

xoxo, Erin
