BVT: Living Room Redesign

I have struggled with this room more than any room, maybe ever. Feels strong. It's a great room, great size but it's the first thing you see when you come in the house and I want it to be pretty but cozy and I really wanted it to be a room we all love being in. The main thing throwing me has always been this back wall.

Broadview Bracelet Stand

Want to see something absolutely precious? A bracelet stand started by some neighbor kids. All on their own! They drug all of these things to the end of the street and went to work! The banner, prices, everything was all them. And the stand kept returning day after day. It was so cute and precious to watch.

Kate got Braces!

Remember that expander Kate got a little while back? Well now she's ready for braces!! And she did so well. It's amazing looking at the picture above where that tooth to the left of her middle teeth is so far back. It's pulled forward and even with the others now. She has such a beautiful smile!

Easter 2026

I didn't take a single picture of the girls or our family on Easter! I don't know how that happened. But I did get a few little fun memories leading up and the day of. Above is the kids table and we have so much fun dressing up tables around here. Emily always likes to help and she makes them as colorful as possible. This year we used eggs as the nameplates and it was so cute!

Hillcrest Softball - Bright Sparks

Hillcrest softball was so fun this year! It's the first sport we haven't had to beg the girls to go to practice or play. They loved it! And I'm confident we'll be back again next year. They also learned so much and improved a lot. They are pretty good little players.

Dinner at Ryn with Scott and Holly

My last spring break post! And what a good one with some really lovely friends! We've had so many fun meals together and this one is at the top! Holly got us a reservation at Ryn in Bentonville. It was so wonderful. The food was amazing, the ambience was devine, and the friendship was the real star of the show. :)

This was so much fun! I saw some inspo on Pinterest of people painting pots so I added some to my grocery order and got to work. Ended up doin these one Sunday after church and Kate joined me. The weather was beautiful and it was so relaxing. I always forget how much I love to paint.

BVT: Library

Can't believe I'm finally making this post. This is one of the very first projects we started when we moved in. We knew when we made the offer on our five-bedroom home that one would ultimately be a library. Two things we really wanted-- a library for Brian and a craft room for me. Done and DONE! This was so much fun and seriously still is. Even since I took the pictures things have changed. I'm constantly changing up art and adding new things on the walls.

Spring Break: Petit Jean to NWA

Day two of Spring Break and we woke up at Petit Jean, had breakfast at the lodge, and then hit a couple more trails. It was coolish in the morning so we took advantage of it! The girls (and ME!) liked the pace of these trails much more :)

Spring Break @ Petit Jean, Day One

We made a quick trip to Petit Jean during spring break and it's safe to say that everyone loved it! We planned on hitting up Devil's Den but they were all booked up by the time we decided. Last spring break, we did a night at Village Creek in a cabin and the girls loved it! Then in the summer we stayed at the lodge at Mount Magazine and it was another hit! So we're trying to make some stops at State Parks since the girls are so into it.
