This morning, I casually mentioned to Zack my wish-list projects for this weekend. The ones that involve him hanging things for me. Like these shelves! (We’ve had them for a loooong while now.) Well, Zack gets out of bed and guess what the first thing he does this morning is!? I am in love with my “new” 😉 shelves. And super grateful for my man showing his love to me by spending time with and for me this morning. 😍 I love adding some functional items in here (like the jars full of q-tips & cotton rounds) & mixing in a few favorites pictures and trinkets. I’d also like to add— Zack also hung up a clock and towel hooks in here too. 🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻

New bed update: still ♥️♥️♥️ it!! I always joke and tell my husband that being in bed is my natural habitat. Where I thrive. 🤣🤣 There’s just nothing like crawling into the covers at the end of the day. How it goes in our house: we put the kid to bed. And then immediately after- me. Haha! Still working on some other updates in here. But I just feel so happy already. 😁

In my HAPPY place!! I have been “dreaming” of a new bed for awhile. A beautiful tufted bed. Well, my husband (and little boy 🙃) made it happen for my Mother’s Day gift. It was delivered today and Zack started putting it together while I ran out for some errands (to surprise me when I got home 🥰😍). Still need to work on updates some of the bedding (and other room things) but I LOVE it! Totally changes the vibe in our master. 👌😀 Thanks @zacks688 ! 😘

Somehow, yesterday I went to Target and randomly picked up two swimsuits (they are buy 1 get 1 FREE right now) and brought them home to try on ...and they WORKED. And were actually cute! 🙌🏻 And then I wanted to tell all my girl friends about it, because swimsuit shopping is the absolute worst (besides bra fittings 😳😩). Soooo I made a private account for only my women friends to share with. I certainly did not wake up yesterday thinking that would be my intention for the day...I mean sharing yourself in a bathing suit on social media is totally normal right 😂🥴 (nervous laughter). Well, turns out a handful of my friends showed up and it has already turned into the best, most comfortable community. Ive received messages and comments where we can openly chat about the woes (and joys) of womanhood. It’s been super relieving to me to know I’m not the only one who struggles sometimes! And now, what started as just a private platform to show you myself in the near buff 🤣, has transformed into a (still private) place to share outfit info and the rollercoaster ride of womanhood still. I don’t know where it will go— but it’s fun so far. It’s nice to have a place for just us girls!! So, if you are interested (and a 🧍‍♀️) then come on over to hang out! 😘 Located over at: @stewart.style.wardrobe

#Tbt to August of 2019. The start of another school year. The one where I spent the summer decorating the front office. The one where my little boy started Pre-K and got to come to school with me everyday. My 10th year as a teacher! Who could EVER have imagined it would have ended this way?! Where digital learning changed the name of education. Where teachers have to sign up to come into the building during post planning. Where we are having to wear masks to carry out daily tasks. Ending the school year is always bittersweet, but this year feels even more BITTER than sweet. It’s such an odd feeling to walk the halls and realize the gravity of what the last couple of months have done. And on top of that— feeling the uncertainty of what next year will even look like. One thing is for sure, I know I will never again take for granted waking up early to spend “another day” at school with my students. We are truly never granted a tomorrow— and that we have learned! ♥️☺️

When the quarantine started, and paper products were suddenly out of stock and in high demand, it gave me the opportunity to look for better alternatives. I’ve always loved collecting various cloth napkins when I’m out shopping. For some reason, people tend to think cloth means fancy. But honestly, it’s felt quite the opposite. In the last couple of months, I’ve enjoyed putting my collection to use. I’m certainly not setting up elaborate tablescapes (as pictured)! It’s just easy to grab the napkins and throw them into the wash! Our paper towel consumption has vastly decreased since doing this! And I really think using cloth napkins with a messy kiddo really saves on waste too! Although— I would suggest napkins with dark colors & patterns to hide any potential staining! 😉 . These particular striped napkins were bought from @target in the #hearthandhandwithmagnolia collection.

For all my friends who have actual mudrooms.... #jealous 😉. We have this super fancy hallway that leads to our garage. So, this is what I call my mudroom hallway. My handy husband built this shelf to add some much needed storage (and beauty) to this spot! I already get so happy just looking at my purse hanging there on it. Ahhh...the glamour of #adulting. 🤣🤣 I’ve got a really fun sign to hang above there too! So much of social media is perfectly done projects; but I want to be more free to share the in between. So...here! Here is some REAL life. 🤗👊🏼 . Major 👏🏻👏🏻 for my husband who is now working to add more functional storage shelf systems in a few other spots too! After living in our house for almost 9 years, we’ve really gotten to evaluate our needs & hopefully these added systems will help keep us organized! Thanks @zacks688 😘♥️

If cropped just perfectly, this corner of my living room gives the impression I have a clean house.... swipe to the next picture and you can see the truth. Closets open, dishes on the kitchen counter, a random balloon floating on the ceiling, cords hanging, and a table that needs wiping (among many other things!). But you know what— even as I type this among some clutter— I can look at that ONE little corner and think “ahhh” 😂😂. So, my tip for surviving life at home — make one corner cute & clean. And so when everything else looks crazy you have something cheery to look at still 🙃😉. Hope you all have had a great day!

How y’all holding up this week? . I’m somewhere in the fog of what day is it...but also very much aware the weeks are going by. I’ve got two more classes for my masters program, so I am doing my best to keep focus until the semester end in July! 😫😫 I’ve done my best to stay on track to complete this degree in a year— so I can’t give up now, right??😬😫😂 I’m ready to be done so I can just enjoy lounging around and leisurely reading this summer! . We’ve been getting in some house projects during this time too. Redecorating in some rooms (as you’ve seen in my IG stories) and organizing closets and such. Dreaming about the days when we can actually go browse the aisles in our fave stores...ya know?! 😫 . Anyways— Happy Friday!

95% of quarantine has been messy buns & bum clothes. 5% spent putting on makeup and some “real” (yet still super casual 🤣) clothes... just to take some photos on our front porch for Mother’s Day. It’s been quite awhile since we’ve gotten any official family pics taken, so these feel especially special. Thanks to @zacks688 for capturing us. Not bad for an iPhone 😉👍🏻.

It’s a new day...with new possibilities (at home)! What can we get ourselves into today.... 🤔🤗☀️ This boy is the perfect homebody to carry out this quarantine time with. He loves being home with mommy and daddy all day/everyday. 👨‍👩‍👦👍🏻

This quote has been up on my @letterfolk board for months now. You can even see the little Christmas tree decorations on my hutch in the background from when I took this in December. It’s funny how this continues to ring true through each passing season... and especially NOW during quarantine. 🙌🏻🏡 . #lessismore #letterboardquotes #letterfolk #letterfolkquotes
