Currently Obsessed: Home & iPhone

ballard designs  /  target  /  apple  / kate spade
With all of the home stuff going on, I have found myself constantly on pinterest under the “home decor” section. I think I have looked at throw pillows, rugs and side tables for hours. I can’t wait to decorate our new home! I am also excited about getting our new iphones this week (well trying to at least – depending on how crazy it is on Friday). & I have recently been really eyeing this kate spade handbag. I am pretty sure it will be my next big splurge. I will have to wait a while though, house stuff is number one right now, but a girl can look 🙂 
What are you obsessing over right now? Do you have any good stores I should be looking at for home decor???

    I love that side table! If I could, I’d just move into a Crate&Barrel magazine. All of their stuff is gorgeous. Pretty expensive…but SO fun.

    Right now I am obsessed with the ikat print on a rug! I am seeing them all over people’s blogs and I want one in a black and white print! I don’t have an Ikea where I live but thank goodness for online shopping!

    I am pretty excited about a new iPhone as well! Mine has been put through the ringer…cracked screen and just last week it was submerged in my coffee cup (thank you kiddos). But it has lived to see another day 🙂 I love Zara home for home decor stuff, or Kirkland Home, and World Market.

    Digging all those pillows and currently figuring out how many family member’s “birthday presents” to me should be combined to equal 1 iphone 5s….

  • #ad If your afternoons feel like a sprint, save this easy snack idea! ✨🙌🏻

Before school pickup, I pack quick snack boxes with pretzels, fruit, cheese, and the NEW @QuakerChewy Protein Granola Bars, so everything is ready when it’s time to head to activities. 

They have the same delicious chewy taste and texture we already love, and each bar has 5g of protein and 10g of whole grains, making them an easy addition to our snack boxes. They come in Caramel Chocolate Chip and Maple & Brown Sugar flavors - both are equally amazing!

What’s one snack that’s always in your after-school rotation?

I turned @helper Cheeseburger Macaroni, a pound of ground beef and simple toppings into a Loaded Cheeseburger Bar with fresh shredded lettuce, diced tomatoes, and onions.

Helper helps you feed your family for less while making it easy to create a delicious, comforting dinner in under 20 minutes. I love that everyone can make it their way and build their own bowl!

  • No gatekeeping here… this is my #1 planner tip for middle school. ✏️📓

I’m teaching my daughter how to actually use a planner this year, and @pilotpenusa FriXion Vibe Erasable Pens are the MUST HAVE. Because assignments, tests, activities and plans are going to change and I don’t want her planner covered in confusing, crossed-out dates. 😂

I also love that she can choose her colors based on her vibe. We’re using ZenFocus for schoolwork and assignments and DreamGlow for goals, creative ideas and the things she’s excited about this year. 💚💙💗💜

Middle school is a big enough adjustment. If I can help her feel a little more organized and prepared going into it, I’m calling that a win.

  • Save this for your next couples getaway near Houston 🤍✨

If you’re looking for a relaxing Galveston, Texas resort with a little luxury, put The San Luis Resort on your list. 

From the gorgeous Texas coast views and poolside cabana (the fruit + champagne were such a nice touch 🥂) to an amazing poolside lunch, it was the perfect way to slow down and enjoy some time together.

We spent the evening at Grotto + grabbed gelato, started the next morning with an incredible breakfast buffet at Blake’s Bistro, and finished our getaway with a couples massage at the spa. 🧖‍♀️✨

A beautiful resort, good food, time to unwind, and quality time together… honestly, what more could you ask for? ❤️

  • If you’re heading to @homedepot anytime soon… SAVE THIS! 👀🧡 I found SO many good home finds on my trip to Atlanta for Home Depot Unmatched, and these made the list!

✨ My favorite: this fan! Our old one was putting out basically ZERO air, and this one has completely changed the game. It’s functional AND so chic… now I want to replace every bedroom fan in our house 😂

🔥 Kevin’s favorite: the grill — and yes, it has a SEAR ZONE!

The RYOBI detail scrubber kit is another must-have (seriously, cleaning just got a whole lot easier), plus the clamp fan kit and so many other smart home finds you’ll want to see.

🧡 Comment SHOP and I’ll send you the links!
