    Get a burger at the Smokey Park Supper Club. Without a doubt it was the best burger I have ever tasted in my life! Melts in your mouth, I’m not kidding.

🤍 It's time to refresh our towels + bedding for the New Year! After heading to @meijerstores, I picked up fresh white towels, pretty patterned sheets + pillowcases, and a classic, crisp white quilt. 🥰 To keep everything tidy, I added in some woven baskets + wire bins. I layered in greenery 🌱 for natural elements as well as pretty + functional cleaners, a gorgeous candle, and a sign with personality! How do you keep your bath and bedroom linens organized? #Meijer #NewYear #Organization
Our January #bookshelfie 🤍 Clean, fresh, + simp Our January #bookshelfie 🤍 Clean, fresh, + simple. // I’ve been absent on social this week, actually really since the change of the New Year.  This was intentional & planned before what happened this week. Just because I’ve been silent on here doesn’t mean I haven’t been speaking out in real life. I chose to listen on here, quite a lost art that I’m personally working on improving this year. 🤍 I’ll leave you with this: The other day, Ava and I were reading Parker Looks Up, one of the books we’re reading this month. 📖 She looked at me and said, “I love her skin Mommy. Isn’t it pretty?” Yes, my dear it is. ❤️

Fresh new holiday bedding! 🎄 #Ad Our bedroom ha Fresh new holiday bedding! 🎄 #Ad Our bedroom has honestly been last on the list since we moved over a year ago!  Since redoing this room, I've instantly felt more relaxed and more like it's ours. 🤍 We finally painted and refreshed our space and I'm thrilled with how it turned out! First, we painted the yellow walls white for a bright + clean look. Next, I layered in the comforter, candy cane sheets, pillows, faux greenery as well as the candle and decor from @meijerstores to add some cozy  + festive elements. ✨ Finally, I added twinkle lights for some more holiday flair! #Meijer #HappyHolidays #Bedroom
