Modern Stripe Christmas Wreath

November 13, 2018 By McKenzie Leave a Comment

It is no secret that I love stripes. They are in the decor throughout my house, my closet is full of them, and I dress my kids in a lot of stripes. I mean, how can you NOT love a good stripe?! I few years ago, I made a floral stripe wreath that I still love to this day. I knew I needed to make a Christmas version of this wreath. I just really love how this modern stripe Christmas wreath turned out!

This Christmas wreath is incredibly easy to make, too! I got all of my supplies at Hobby Lobby. This is what you will need to make your own… [Read more…]

Simplifying Your Life as a New Mom

November 8, 2018 By McKenzie Leave a Comment

There is nothing quite like the overwhelming feeling after having a baby. There is just so many things to buy, things to do, all while trying to do those things on very little sleep! I remember feeling very overwhelmed after Zoey was born. I just didn’t know how I was going to juggle the task of keeping my 5 year old happy, taking care of a newborn, and keeping my business running. It was all so much!

I quickly learned the importance of simplifying my life. If I could cut down on the amount of errands I needed to run or come up with better systems for getting household work and work for my job done, things could run a lot more smoothly. [Read more…]

Fall is one of my favorite times of the year to decorate, but sometimes it is hard to find Fall decor that is modern and isn’t cheesy. I love my Fall wreath that I took inspiration from the modern farmhouse style and I wanted to share it with you!

I just love the colors in this wreath, mixed with all of the fun textures! For this wreath, I got everything at Hobby Lobby! The wood wreath was already made, the floral stems were in their floral department, and the cotton flowers were from the Fall section. [Read more…]

Halloween parties are in full swing and there is no better way to socialize than over fantastic food. When you are surrounded by great company and delicious food, you are almost guaranteed a hit when it comes to throwing the perfect Halloween party. If we are being completely honest with ourselves, Halloween is more about the dessert than the actual meal. Focus on a fun dessert that will bring your party guests together!

These chocolate candy apple pops are sure to bring party guests together. They can be made before the party or as part of the party by creating a station where guests can make their own chocolate candy apple creations. [Read more…]

Floral Pumpkin Mod Podge Craft

October 18, 2018 By McKenzie Leave a Comment

Several years ago, I saw a tutorial for a damask pumpkin that I totally fell in love with. As soon as I saw it, I knew I had to make one of my own. I did and loved that pumpkin for years, but now damask isn’t quite my style anymore. That is why I knew I needed to make a new Mod Podge pumpkin, a floral pumpkin!

I love how bright and fun this floral pumpkin is! It reminds me a little of the Day of the Dead, which I also really love! This floral pumpkin is really easy to make and the best part is that you can customize it to be whatever pattern you like. If you want stripes, damask print, flowers, polka dots, etc. The possibilities are endless! Here is what you will need to make your own… [Read more…]
