This bathroom from @rhiannonlawsonhome is giving me all the 😍😍😍. Some photos you scroll by are INSTANT saves and this was one of them. I’ve been working on some plans for a little bathroom refresh and this gives me lots of inspiration! Go check out her feed...it’s all so gorgeous! . #onetofollow

Monday, here we are! It’s a new week, full of fresh possibilities! Time to make your lists and get some work done!! . See my last post to see what I’ll be working on this week! 😬🙏🏻

Ok y’all.... this week I’m going to work on getting my house (and life) decluttered! Ready for a little Pre-Fall Freshen up! Going to break out my #KonMari methods and get to it! My problem area::: my home decor hoard!! I stash that stuff everywhere...in closets, under beds and all over our basement!! It’s B A D ! 😬 I mean...when interior decorating is your gig, it’s just fun to collect all the things and switch things around as your ideas strike. I’m not necessarily going to get rid of all my stuff... but I will certainly try and pair down to only my faves. Stay tuned with me this week for some progress ...hopefully 😉🙏🏻 Craving more simplicity, especially moving into Fall and the holiday season! . What is your “problem area” when it comes to clutter? .

You split the sea so I could walk right through it. My fears were drowned in perfect love. You rescued me so I could stand and sing, I am a child of God! . Tomorrow we are singing one of my very favorite songs, “No Longer Slaves”. I love that song so much I had this custom scroll made by Ali @mustardseedbeginnings with the lyrics to the bridge. I seriously get chills every time I hear those words. Gods love for us is SO strong, y’all! . It’s a worship team weekend for the hubs & I. That means our little Leo gets to go spend the night with his grandparents tonight (which he LOOOVES to do 💛), because we have to be at church super early for band practice! Zack and I enjoy serving in church together, especially through our love of music! He plays guitar (plus many other instruments 🙌🏻) and I sing. Fun fact: while we were dating, we actually recorded a CD and gave them out to our families as Christmas gifts. We ended up giving them as favors at our wedding too! Swipe for a little A&Z music history 😉. Maybe I’ll try and find our recordings and share some snippets...although I think we’ve both improved since then!! 😬🤣 . This photo is from last year...can’t wait to break out my pumpkins again soon!!

Weekend Vibes 😝 . My mother-in-law passed away unexpectedly just a few weeks before our sweet Leo was born. Those first few months were sooo bittersweet (and still are!). Every first holiday for Leo...was a first without her. She was in love with this kid from the moment we told her I was pregnant. . One special way we get to remember her is through giraffes! It was a common known fact (In our family at least) that she loved this animal. Collected figurines and all that jazz. But now, anytime we see giraffes it’s like a sweet reminder of her! When I saw this shirt, it was a no brainer this boy needed it! 🦒💛 . I sure wish she was around to see this spunky & silly grandson of hers. Hug your loved ones!!

It’s almost the weekend, y’all! The first FULL week of school is almost done too!!! . Next month my hubby and I will celebrate our 8th anniversary! Our first dance was to this Brad Paisley song...so I loved having the words posted above our bed! If you know the song there a part that goes...”I can just see you, with a baby on the way”.. well that was checked off with our little Leo 👦🏼. The next part says...”and I can just see you, when your hair is turning gray” Well...something about turning 30 and having a 3 year old has apparently made that start happening too!!! 😧I mean not full on gray...but I’ve sure got more strands popping up than I’d like to admit! 👵🏻😬 And I know “they” say not to, but I just keep yanking those suckers out!! 😛Oh well... that’s just life, right??? 😉

This pretty mural is painted on the walls of the girls bathroom in one the elementary schools I teach in. Swipe to see the rest of the bathroom. What an amazing reminder to teach our next generation! Self love is so so important. I pray these young ladies always know their worth comes from something greater! (The boys bathroom is just as cool too, by the way... 🙂)

Go BIG or Go home... or bring it home!!🤣🙌🏻 . Did you see this big ole window I scored this weekend?? It was a family affair picking this thing up. I told my son, Leo, our mission (or “field trip” as I explained it to him) and he immediately jumped up looking for his shoes so we could get in the truck and go! I’ve trained him well 🤣. Well, little dude fell asleep as soon as we got in the truck and missed the whole transaction of actually getting the thing. But, he was very excited to “help” unload it off Dada’s truck. How cute is his little face here???😍😍😍And MAJOR props to my ever-so-helpful husband who went with me on another one of my crazy pickin’ trips. He’s just glad it isn’t staying at our house. DON’T worry...I wouldn’t let this thing get too far out of my grasp— it’s just going to my Mama house! Going to put this baby up on the big wall going up her stairwell! Maybe even stick some cute photos of their grandkids in there or something ... Whatever happens, I’ll be sure and share an after picture!

Yesterday I took y’all along with me as I stopped by a few shops (see my “ShopWitMe” IG stories highlighted on my profile!). I shared some of my current trend likes and dislikes. I know we are still WEEKS away from Fall, and even more away from Christmas... but I enjoyed window shopping at the items out already. I’m also more intrigued than normal because I’ll be participating in the @circlesshowhouse in October where I’ll be decorating a room in a beautiful historic home in Carrollton for Christmas! Gotta start my planning early (in summer 🤪). . Here is a tip I shared: pop a plant (or mini 🌲) in a large mug! This buffalo check one from @hobbylobby particularly caught my eye! In my stories I also projected my fears that buffalo check is the new chevron...and I’m not too happy about it!! 😩😑 Would you agree??

Woohoo it’s Thursday!!! I’m ready for the weekend...to get me some decorating-therapy in. On Thursday evenings I try my best to get most of the house chores finished, so I can just come home Friday from work and relax! So, I’ve got laundry going, just swished the toilets 😷...and will run the vacuum in just a minute. . No BIG projects (like my #chinacabinet makeover ) on the immediate horizon...but that doesn’t mean I ain’t dreamin’ up some! This makeover was definitely one that paid off! Scroll down my feed or head to my blog (Link in Bio) for a before picture! . What are your Thursday routines?? . #tbt #homedecor #diningroom #vintagedecor #antiques #paintedfurniture

Cheers to the first day of school!! Year # 9 is off to a great (and busy 🤪) start!! LOVE seeing everyone’s back to school posts! . Dress: @julesandjamesboutique Shoes: @target . #teachersofinstagram #teacheroutfit #teacherdiaries #firstdayofschool
