Paint color and wall behind the tv DONE! Slow and steady I’ve been working on this space! Next up, room darkening shades instead of the busted by my children blinds there now. 🤪 Looking on insta, I know I can sometimes feel pressure to pull a room together quickly… but sometimes it takes time. You’ll get there and enjoy your space as it does! ⭐️I decided not to wait to post the finished room but show the steps I’m taking to get there. 🎨I LOVEEE this paint color: Aviatrix by @sherwinwilliams. I wanted a dark color but not black… and this is perfect! We created the feature wall behind the tv…with Gray Pine Wall planks from @loweshomeimprovement. They click together- we just cut each to length and nail gunned them up. Make sure to follow along here to see the final look! 👋🏻 Like and save this post so you get notified of more of our posts like this!

Game changers for our home with 6 kids!⬇️ ☑️Reduce toys to one genre in that room. We did this years ago. My kids love playing kitchen and grocery store…so we focused in on that. These toys give hours of entertainment and are the perfect set up for when we have company over! ☑️Brighten the room by adding string lights above. It makes the playroom feel cheerful and cozy. No one likes playing, or cleaning, in a gloomy room! ☑️Paint the space a calming color. I am obsessed with this color so much that it’s also in my boys’ rooms! It’s Calming Gray by Sherwin Williams and it feels just that…Calming! ☑️Have a designated place for everything so clean up is easier. I love these storage pieces I bought off amazon for the books and play food. Messes are easier to manage when the kids know where it all should go. They also play better when they can see their toys clearly. You can see the full playroom shared in my reels and on my blog! I will share the toy closet one of these days. The other toys- sorted by what they are. The kids take out a bin at a time (that’s the goal at least) so cleaning it up is easier. 🎃Follow us here, if you aren’t already, to see how I decorate the room for Halloween. Love making holiday magic for the kids!

🏈Save to make for your next game day spread! Here’s a yummy finger food that my people snatched up as soon as it hit the table! TERIYAKI MEATBALLS Bake frozen meatballs as directed. Make sauce: teriyaki marinade + brown sugar Coat meatballs with sauce in batches. Sprinkle with sesame seeds and sliced green onions. Serve with toothpicks! Enjoy! 🏈

{Part 2} Our cruise went out of Miami and straight for @royalcaribbean’s private island in the Bahamas. It was beautiful!! Favorite part was jet skiing together… out in the crazy clear and blue waters it felt unreal. Then we had a fun day exploring in Nassau! Cant wait for our next cruise! I love adventuring with you Ben. 🥰 Grateful for time to slow down and be together as a couple. 16 years of special memories- many more to go! Have you tried a cruise before??

{Part 1} Ben and I celebrated our 16th Wedding Anniversary with a fun trip! 🛳️ 🏝️We took a @royalcaribbean cruise to the Bahamas and it was the bestttttt time. We were able to act like kids together, have a nice mental break from work and everyday life…. slow down and do absolutely nothing, together. It was amazing. So happy our close neighbor friends came too! Grateful for their friendship and the laughs! Already ready for the next cruise! I love you more now than ever Ben…I’ve had all these years of seeing you love me and our family so well. So glad you’re my man. 🩷❤️

So yeahhh don’t look at baby videos on your baby’s first day of preschool. 😂🥹 I’m in my feels today! Chase had a great first day. After seeing his siblings always go to school it was finally HIS TURN! He walked right in and didn’t look back. Haha. 🥳😜

We have a 15 year old!!! Happy Birthday to my first born. 🥹 I couldn’t be more proud of the young lady you’re growing into! You’re kind and funny, friendly and caring. It’s so cool seeing your love for basketball and how hard you go after your goals. But even cooler… is seeing how much you love Jesus and show it. You live it and it shows- you’re beautiful inside and out. I love hanging out with you and being your mom. You’re awesome. Don’t change a thing. Well maybe clean your trashed bedroom more, 🥴😜but other than that…don’t change. Just keep on being you because you’re incredible! Happy 15th Birthday. 🩷
