Daisy’s Sugar and Sweets Christmas Tree

Hi friends!

Hope you are doing well! We are already putting up Christmas decorations, and one of the first rooms we completed was Daisy’s nursery. I have been wanting to do a themed Sugar and Sweets Christmas Tree for her nursery and I love how it turned out! I want to make sure my babies have the most magical Christmas so we always make it a priority to decorate a tree in all of their rooms. Check out more photos of Daisy’s Sugar and Sweets Christmas Tree below!

Mudroom Bath Reveal

Hi friends!

Hope you are doing well! I am so excited to share one of my favorite rooms in the house, our mudroom bath. I love the floral tile, the wallpaper, and our clawfoot tub. It is very country cottage chic.  You can get an extra 10% OFF using my code DAWN on the wallpaper. This was a labor of love that Josh and I did together. You can see the before and transformation in this video here. Check out all the details of our mudroom bath below!

SHOP BATH:

 

This bath is conveniently located in our mudroom which makes it great for guest who come through the garage or back porch, or for washing dirty muddy children before they walk through the house. It is one of our most used common bath. We love how this room turned out. What do you guys think?

Board and Batten Bathroom Accent Wall DIY

Hi friends!

Hope you are doing well! I recently shared a video of one of my first board and batten bathroom accent wall DIY I did for our home, and I thought it deserved a permanent spot on my blog. I did this all by myself when our house was getting built. I knew I wanted to add some color to our main bathroom, so I brought in the color in our master bedroom into the bathroom with this accent wall. Check out the before and after pictures below!

SHOP BATHROOM:

 

The color I used for this accent wall is Escape grey by Benjamin Moore. I love how this bathroom accent wall turned out that I plan on incorporating it in our master bedroom. What do you guys think?

Fall Kitchen Home Decor

Hey friends!

Hope you are doing well! I wanted to share with you my recent fall kitchen home decor! I wanted to add a little touch of fall to our kitchen so I bought a few things during the Labor day sale to add fall vibes into our kitchen. Some of the things I’ve collected over the years so I don’t have an exact link, but I will share similar styles. Check out more photos of our fall kitchen home decor below!

Found these fall kitchen towels for only $9 for a pack of three! I added some pumpkins to our open shelving and this old antique painting my husband got from his late grandfather.

Love these fall stems I got on sale. I added it to this vase I got at Target last year, and these velvet pumpkins from several years ago. I was able to find some similar ones that you can shop from Amazon!

I love how our fall kitchen home decor turned out. Just the perfect touch to bring in fall into our home. Let me know what you think!

Baby #4 Gender Reveal

Hi friends,

Today I am sharing this fun gender reveal we did with the kiddos. Let’s just say I was dead wrong with my mother’s intuition on this one. I thought we were having one gender, so I got everyone coordinating outfits to match the color I thought it would be. I couldn’t believe how wrong I was! Check out the full reveal below!

SHOP POST:

Ya’ll I can’t believe we will have another precious girl to add to our family. We are going to have our hands full! Jayden was hoping for a boy, but it seems as he will be the only boy in the family so far lol. The girls didn’t even care, all they cared about was the cake! Well on the plus side expect more cute mommy and me outfits coming soon with my cute little girlies!

Baby #4 Coming Soon!

Hey friends!

Surprise! We are expecting baby number four! I can’t believe it. Especially since we will have three under three! We are going to have our hands full. We have been keeping this secret all summer long. I found out I was pregnant early June right after moving. It was an unexpected surprise especially with everything going on, having a previous miscarriage in January, and emergency gallbladder surgery in April. But we are thankful for this blessing and can’t wait to add another little one to our family. Check out these beautiful pregnancy announcement photos we took at our neighborhood park.

SHOP OUTFITS:

Thankful for this growing family of mine. It’s been a crazy whirlwind of a year but we trust in God’s timing. We know this won’t be easy but it will be worth it. Can’t wait to share the gender soon!

Kitchen Family Command Center DIY

Family command center, magnetic chalk wall, acrylic calender, chore chart

Hi friends,

 I am so excited to share with you our kitchen family command center DIY. I created this space because we didn’t have a space in our kitchen for our magnets since our refrigerator is fully paneled in a refrigerator cabinet. I wanted a space for our family calender, weekly menu, and kids chore chart. This kitchen family command center was super easy to do, and an inexpensive DIY. Check out the step by step below!

First we pasted this magnetic dry erase chalkboard sheet we got from Amazon. Then we got this PVC trim from Home Depot and cut it to frame the sheet. I painted the trim to match the color of our cabinets which is Ashwood by  Benjamin Moore.

  

After the paint dried I used clear construction adhesive to glue the frame on the wall. I then used small round velcro strips to secure these magnetic calendars to the wall. Unfortunately the magnet was not strong enough to hold to the sheet, but the velcro worked perfectly! We also got this cool chore chart for the kiddos too!

This Kitchen Family Command Center was an easy and inexpensive DIY that helps us stay organized as a family. Plus the kiddos love playing with the magnets. It’s a great solution if you have a paneled refrigerator. Let me know what you think!

Daisy’s First Birthday Party

Daisy’s Secret Garden Nursery

Hi friends!

Today I am so excited to share, one of my favorite rooms in our new home, Daisy’s secret garden nursery. It is the nursery of my dreams! I love the grand millennial flare with french accents and my favorite color yellow. It was only fitting to have a room full of flowers for my Daisy girl. I just feel like this nursery fits her personality perfectly. Check out more details of this nursery below!

How cute is Daisy? She is just the happiest smiliest babe. As you can see below we used this beautiful chinoiserie wallpaper mural to add picture frame panels in her room. We bought this trim and added it around the wallpaper for the the finished look. For the rug, I found this eight foot round rug last minute after several rectangular rugs just didn’t look right in in her room. This rug was the perfect addition in the nursery and it is washable too! For the curtains I found the cutest daisy curtain holders that added the perfect little detail to her window treatments.

The crib, glider, and dresser were passed down from Ella’s nursery and it worked perfectly in Daisy’s room. It was a great investment that has lasted me with multiple babies.

I love how this secret garden nursery turned out. It was a labor of love and everything I could have dreamed of. There is nothing that makes me happier than coming in the morning and seeing Daisy’s smiling face in her crib. Since she has been sleeping in this room, she has slept so good and sleeps twelve hours just like her sister next door. I can’t wait to do Ella’s big girl room next!

Tea Party for Two DIY

Hi friends!

Hope you are having a great week! Today I am sharing our intimate family celebration Tea Party for Two for Ella’s second birthday. We did the decor and the food ourselves and I loved how it turned out. Not going to lie I did stay up till 3am one night to do the balloon garland, but it was well worth it. Check out more of our Tea Party for Two DIY below!

For the decor I used my own antique tea sets as flower vases and a tea cup as a cake topper. I also bought this inexpensive cheesecloth runner to add to our kitchen island. For the serving trays I reused these serving trays I’ve had for years. They are inexpensive and a great investment if you like to host. I also found this pretty Happy Birthday burlap banner for under $10!

For the food I made these individual charcuterie cups that were a hit. I felt it would be easier for self serve than a traditional cheese board. We also had traditional tea sandwiches, scones, and desserts!

I love how the balloon garland turned out and the floral number two in our entry way for her Tea Party for Two. It was the perfect picture backdrop. We really enjoyed hosting our family for our first birthday celebration and look forward to having many more!
