Anyone else feel like they have to reset their house every Monday after the weekend?

We had so much fun though so it was worth it! I'll be posting a couple videos of our adventures later on..

How was everyone's weekend?
What's the one thing you always to on Monday to get yourself right for the week?

My first finish of the day, soft pretzels!

These did require some active yeast as well as my sourdough starter but they were so easy and they turned out delicious!

Added a little Nacho Cheese for the best Saturday afternoon snack! 🤤

They were even Jordan approved!

I'm working on my temperature cross stitch while my husband sews, so we went for an easy dinner of salad, breadsticks, and toasted ravioli. 🤤

Check out my thrift finds for the day!

Couldn't pass up the asparagus vase when I saw it and found a cute Valentine's Day sign to put in our front window.

Also grabbed a few different fabrics for a quilting project I plan to start soon, and my husband was able to grab a couple fabrics for the backpack he's working on.

If you're out thrifting today, show me what you've found!

Having lunch at one of our favorite little local spots! 🤤

Headed to do a little thrifting after this! Check back later to see what we find!

Starting my January Book of the Month selection today!

A Killing Cold
By: Kate Alice Marshall

If you're interested in joining BOTM yourself, drop a comment below and I'll send you a link to get a free book! 🥰

This will be my second book of 2025, I just finished A Court of Mist and Fury By: Sarah J Maas and I'm forcing myself to read something else so I don't finish the ACOTAR series too quickly!

What are you reading or what have you read so far in January?! 📚

Bought a Beautiful Brand Crock Pot by Drew Barrymore to get through this blizzard after mine was ruined... it doesn't work, I had cold soup after 3 hours on high... 😭 luckily I was able to throw it on the stove!

I'm a little late to the party, in fact I've been a bit MIA the last few months, but I'm back!
Happy New Year everyone! I hope everyone is happy and healthy as we start 2025!

This last year was full of so many hopes for this page. Unfortunately, as I navigated life with a newborn, social media was the first to be placed on the back burner.

I was able to finish my first semester back in college with 2 A's, a B, and a C (79% 😒) in government; and I'm more than happy with myself. Jordan is growing big and strong and keeping both dad and I on our toes, everyday we fall more in love with him!

I've been so busy I haven't been able to visit many thrift stores or antique shops, but I've been doing lots of reorganizing around the house, so be on the look out for some videos of my collections around the house!
Luckily I did get a couple gift cards to spend at some of my favorite spots so I've got a couple shopping trips in my future!

Currently MO is in a blizzard warning so we are settled in for the night after some delicious Chicken Tortilla Soup (check my page for pictures and a recipe) and a little Law & Order SVU.
If you're in the Midwest experiencing this blizzard, comment a photo of your view or what you made for dinner, if you're cozy on a beach.... lucky you! 😆

Hey everyone! I hope you're having a !
Jordan was up early this morning and isn't interested in napping much lately so we've had a busy morning!

I finally got him down for a little nap after a bath and bottle. I just cant believe that later today we're headed to his 4 month appointment and he's already outgrowing our kitchen sink! 😭

Making myself a to eat while I've got some time and thought I'd share one of my favorite summer snacks!

Cherry tomatoes with feta cheese and balsamic vinegar! 🍅🧀🤤 Usually I would add some cucumbers in but I didn't have any so I went without! 🥒 I'm using 🍒 black cherry balsamic but you can use any flavor or just plain balsamic! (I get mine from this amazing place in KC!)

Sorry I've been quiet for a few days, we've had so much going on! Look out for some more thrifting videos later this week!

What's everyone having for dinner tonight? We had some lobster ravioli I found at Walmart with some shrimp and spinach... delicious! 🤤

Who else got mums this weekend?!
I scored big time with Ace Hardware and their huge mum sale!

My sweet grandma bought me the purple and maroon ones that are really blooming for my front porch and told me they were only $5!
So I went to my local ACE to see what they had and I thought they had sold out. I got so lucky when the sales woman told me they were going to start discounting the bigger mums!!

I got 4 beautiful tri-color mums for my backyard for $20! I can't wait to see what colors I end up with, I think I should have purple in each (that's my favorite!) And some yellows, oranges, and maybe even a little white.

For me, mums are the beginning of all the fall decorations, so follow along as I pull out my decorations and watch my house transform for Fall!
