Today’s I’m sharing a few of my favorite recent home finds from Walmart! You don’t have to sacrifice style even if you have a smaller budget. Our reading room is one of my favorite spots in the house. In the winter I cozy up on our couch with a throw blanket and drink coffee and read…
Some of you know we bought a short term rental property last year down in Florida. They say invest in what you know, and I LOVE houses and know real estate better than the stock market. I have an IRA that is invested heavily in stocks (since I’m only 39 we have time to ride the waves of the market) but I wanted investments I could access cash from sooner than the traditional retirement age. I read lots of books…
A lot of you gals follow because I’m tall (5’11” for reference) and you are too, and want outfit ideas that will work on long limbs.

Popping in with some laundry room cabinet paint color inspiration. I am generally a neutral lover and shy away from color but I wanted a blue gray cabinet color for our laundry room.

You can find paint sprayers at all different price points and I wish…

Last year we bought a vacation rental in Florida and I had polled on Instagram stories if people would be interested in a packing list. Renting a vacation home is a great way for families to get away together but it’s not like staying in a hotel! In this post I mentioned how I used my Walmart+ membership to let a few essentials get ahead of me on the trip so I wouldn’t have to pack them. Today I’m sharing…
