Preparing Your Yard For Fall {Mini Makeover!}
Say what you will about 2020, but I think a lot of good has come from this unusual year. I personally have loved the extra time with family and a chance to slow down a bit. More, now than ever, our family has spent huge amounts of time outside in our backyard. Staycation has new meaning :) Earlier this year I added new landscaping around the garage area and a DIY concrete fountain. The bark I added made it so I didn't have to weed once! It gave me more time to chill on the patio. I partnered with Home Depot and Vigoro again to share tips that will help you in preparing your yard for Fall!

Fall Patio Decor
Over the years I have decorated my front porch for Fall but I have never decked out my back patio. I decided that even though it was already pretty cozy, that I would add some Fall touches to it in anticipation to some upcoming get togethers we have planned. Pumpkin carving anyone? I'm pretty happy with the Fall patio decor. So join me, and some of my best blogging friends, as we share our porches, patios, decks and other outdoor spaces all decorated for the season! Fall Patio Decor I added in some new pillows and a cute plaid throw. I grew some white pumpkins in the garden this year but bought the other ones. You can never have too many pumpkins, … {READ MORE}
Halloween Mantel Sign {Sprayer Giveaway!}
My kids love Halloween. Me? Not so much. Since Halloween plans look a bit different this year and they will be spending the night at home, I thought I would go all out and decorate the living room for Halloween instead of Fall like I usually do. With the help of my HomeRight Quick Finish sprayer, I created a Halloween mantel sign to complete the look! This post is sponsored by HomeRight but all opinions and project ideas are 100% my own.

Home Office Makeover! {Create A Home Office}
Shane has been working from home on and off since mid March. He started out at the kitchen table but that just wasn't working. He needed a space where he could shut the door and have it be a bit more quiet and private. I had already painted the cabinets green this spring. I decided to finally get around to finishing the office makeover to create a home office for Shane! This post is sponsored by Rug Pad USA but all opinions and ideas are 100% my own. Create A Home Office I think the best home offices have a nice desk area that is kept clean of clutter, lots of storage, a great view (natural light baby!), and is cozy. If you are going to spend HOURS of each day in that space, you want … {READ MORE}
Garage Attic Makeover REVEAL!!!
It's finally here! After 5 months I can say that we are officially done with the attic fort for our boys. This garage attic makeover began as a way to keep our kids happy and busy during quarantine back in late March. This project took longer to do than I originally thought mostly due to the roof situation and the high temps during July and August, limiting how long we could work. I am so excited to share this space with you! Like I said in my instagram stories, I was torn between going all out like it was a room in my house and also realizing that this is a BOYS' FORT in a garage. It was hard to reign in sometimes and I probably did more than was necessary, but it was a fun project that … {READ MORE}
I Tackled A Project I Neglected for 13 years… {Exterior Painting}
We all have them. Projects that we put off for YEARS. And then when we finally do them, we are like "Why did I wait so long?" In my defense, this project is one I couldn't do because of my fear of tall ladders. I am comfortable until about the third or fourth step. Falling and hurting my ankle really badly didn't help my fear of climbing high things either. Shane came to the rescue and completed this exterior painting project for me. He painted the back of the garage and it finally matches the front! This exterior painting project is sponsored by HomeRight but all ideas and opinions are 100 % my own!

New Adventures
The past couple of weeks have been a whirlwind and crazy busy. With school starting, we wanted to squeeze in as much family time as we could. With my son leaving on his new adventure soon, I had an added push for more time together. It is starting to really hit me that our family is entering a new phase. One I am not prepared for. I will no longer have all my kids under my roof and it makes me so sad. We had a camping trip with Shane's side of the family. We camped up Little Cottonwood canyon. Even though it is here in Utah, I had never been up that particular canyon. Utah has SO MANY mountains and canyons that I have really only explored a small portion of them. … {READ MORE}
Fun Finds: Sugru!
Sometimes I discover a product that gets me so excited. It is not very often you find something with unlimited possibilities. A product that can fix pretty much anything, that you can create new things with, and improve how other things work. I have been playing around with Sugru for a couple of weeks and I love it! It is one of those things that once you have it, you think of a million uses for it. This post is sponsored by Sugru but all ideas and opinions are 100% my own. What is Sugru? It is the world's first mouldable glue. Once it gets exposed to air, it cures in 24 hours into a flexible rubber. It is completely waterproof and long lasting which means it can be used … {READ MORE}
Stairway & Hall Makeovers
I'm not sure why I have waited so long to share the stairway makeover. I guess it is partly because it was not as dramatic as a room makeover. It is also an awkward area to try and photograph since it is so narrow and steep. But I finally decided to just try. I was waiting for the paint to dry in the bathroom (a refresh makeover coming soon!) and it was well over 100 degrees outside, so I grabbed the tripod and started taking pictures. BEFORE: Remember about a year ago when I took the forest green carpet off the stairs and found this green marble looking vinyl from the 1930's? It was fun and funky but very uncomfortable to walk on! It stayed that while I re-textured the walls and … {READ MORE}
