One reason I love Fall is because it kicks off “decorating season”! I love mixing up the outdoor and indoor spaces to create the feels of the season. Fall decorating is all about warm colors, rich textures and cozy layering. I think it’s my absolute favorite for my front porch! This post contains affiliate links and I may be compensated […]
Do you have those spaces that you sort of forget about? And then all of a sudden wake up one day and realize it’s way past due for some updates? LOL! That’s our guest bedroom. It doubles as Kendall’s playroom, so the guest bed has sort of been an after thought in between the Barbies and American Girls. My hubby […]
It seems like such a long time since my breast cancer diagnosis, but it’s really only been 3 months. We FINALLY got my onco-type dx score back on the tumor following my lumpectomy and it was GREAT NEWS! A low score (10), which is what we were hoping for. One of my doctors explained that the onco-type testing basically tells […]

Some choose completely natural. For me, a combination is the best fit. I will likely proceed with local radiation and hormone therapy.

We met with a local surgeon, a team at KU Med and a surgeon at Washington University. Any one of them would probably be phenomenal. But Scott and I both knew immediately that the surgeon […]
First things first, I’m doing great. Really and truly. I know it can be hard knowing what to say, how to help and if it’s ok to ask me about it. I feel healthy and calm and grateful. That doesn’t mean it isn’t hard. Last week, I had a lot of anxiety and fear. Once I realized I was focusing […]
I was planning to post next about reorganizing my pantry, but things can change quickly. Last year I found a lump in my right breast. I have a history of cysts, as do women in my family. I saw my doctor, had a physical exam (I’d had a recent clear mammogram) and went on my way under the assumption is […]
I am loving the Studio McGee home collaboration with Target! Did you ever watch Dream Home Makeover on Netflix? So fun to watch a space come together. I was WAY excited when they partnered with Target and the cuteness just keeps coming!! Since I’m obsessed, I want to share a few favorites for Spring. This post contains affiliate links and […]
Vanilla extract is one of the easiest things to DIY! There are seriously like 2 steps. The hardest part is waiting a couple of months for it to be ready.
