Our kitchen is in the middle of our home and behind the sink is an add on room that has mostly been functional for us when we have family over or parties since we have a large farmhouse table in that space and its not as accessible as the rest of the other rooms in our open concept house. We have an island but only has enough room for 2 barstools facing each other. I've always looked longingly at kitchens that had huge islands with enough room 4-5 barstools. Well, we found a way to make that ...
Must Have Baby Basics: What Worked for Us
As part of National Breastfeeding Awareness Month, Walmart is supporting this national event in August with so many great deals on baby feeding items! While this is a sponsored post, all thoughts and opinions are 100% my own and I had owned these baby items, that can all be found at Walmart, prior to this partnership.

Landyn’s Lattes: A Playhouse Decorated for the Holidays!
This year I haven't felt the itch to decorate for the holidays, like, at all. We went to a tree farm the day after Thanksgiving to cut down our tree and I enjoyed continuing that tradition but besides that, I did not even want to get out the ornaments or anything else Christmas related.

With our baby boy due beginning of January, ...
DIY Melted Crayon Art
When I was designing our soon to be son's nursery (31 weeks pregnant this week - not that I'm counting or anything!) I knew I wanted blue and white to fill the nursery.
