Teen Bedroom Makeover

One thing people may not know about me is I love the challenge of updating spaces by incorporating old with new. I don’t have an interior design background, but my friends have frequently asked me to go with them on shopping trips to help them purchase items to freshen up their homes. I love DIY projects and truly enjoy the creative process of visualizing something in my head and seeing it come to life, so when my daughter asked me to give her room a makeover, I was pretty thrilled!

Custom Office Barn Doors

After Mario and I built our home, one of the first things I wanted in our house was a sliding barn door.

Chewy Chocolate Chip Cookies

I have a love for all sweets, but when it comes to cookies, I can’t resist a good, chewy chocolate chip cookie. This simple recipe makes it easy to whip up a homemade batch of chewy goodness. I promise you won’t be able to eat just one!

Simple Fireplace Christmas Decor and Village Display

The holidays are my favorite time of year and I always look forward to winding down our busy schedule, taking extra time off work, and spending time at home with my family. This year, I decided the fireplace needed a new look for Christmas and went with a more simple look.

Sous Vide Egg Bites

These egg bites are filled with bacon, cheese, and lots of flavor! I cook the egg bites using a mini egg bite machine, but you can also use an Instant Pot to make these creamy little bites of heaven.

Easy DIY Soccer Medal Hanger

If my kids were identified by one sport, it would be soccer. They’ve collected trophies and medals over years of playing and have had no good place to display their achievements. I had intended on making a display of some sort a long time ago so this little DIY is long overdue.
