GAME NIGHT ❤️ It’s a tradition over the holidays in this house (and let’s face it, almost every week or when company comes over). We have some absolute favorites we have found over the years, as well as some nostalgic board games… whether you’re into strategy games, humor and “just for fun” games, interactive, or card games, we have you covered!

Recommendations for family game night and things to do with relatives ✅

Also - This is your sign to build a game night window seat 😉

We did a little refresh on our master bedroom 💚✨

It took a long time, but I finally found a gorgeous lumbar pillow. My favorite thing to do at the end of a long day of work is to crawl into bed and sink into all of the pillows… honestly I have never found any others that are more cozy than these are… our sage green blanket is the same as the one in our guest room (just a different color) and it’s warm without being heavy.

Need some cozy bedroom ideas? All my recommendations are below!

Every home we’ve lived in I’ve ripped out the standard shelf and rod closet and opted to design my own. This custom closet is totally from IKEA — on the last photo I included our specs. We added so much room for clothes storage, added a clothes rod on the left and then slim shoe storage on the other side.

Designing a custom closet on a budget is much easier than you realize! Below I’ve tagged my favorite storage solutions for the closet :) happy organizing! 🖤✨

This cute little marble bistro table is adorable! It’s perfect for our seed starters and microgreens, but you also could use it as a living room side table, backyard garden table for two, etc. 🌱

Our patio’s big window is perfect for our seeds that we’re starting inside before adding them to the garden. The microgreens are sunflower seeds, which I soaked for a few hours before planting 💚

Spring means it’s time to plant seeds into our herb garden and raised bed vegetable patch!

This is my favorite seed storage I’ve found so far, it’s the cutest seed binder that has slots to perfectly fit our seed sachets 💚

Sundays in the garden 🌱 Today I planted some more seedlings in my starters, and I also did some planning for our raised beds and herb garden.

This year I’m planting lots of herbs and vegetables, particularly for homemade stock.

All of my garden favorites are below, including our raised beds, garden tools, flower and planter pots, dribber, spray bottles and more. What are you planting this year?

One of my favorite hosting items — our fondue pot! 🔥

This little fondue pot is perfect to take out for a group of friends (it’s also youth group approved), family night, or for a party. You can do a cheese base — our favorite — or a chocolate dessert one.

Coffee lovers alert ♥️ this espresso machine is MAGIC! It’s digital, so we can make cappuccinos (my fave), americanos, and more… this grinder is also heaven — it grinds the perfect amount of coffee for any type of drink and totally evenly.

Graduation party ideas 💙🤍

My husband graduated with his master’s last year, and we threw a grad party for him with a bunch of friends and family over the summer. I love hosting and entertaining, and I highly recommend all of these if you need some party planning ideas. ✨

The most comfortable, feminine bedding EVER 🤍

I searched high and low for the most relaxing and luxurious experience our friends and family can have and these are my absolute favorites! Our guest room has a slight European / French vibe going for it. To me the mark of an amazing product is repurchasing power — and I would absolutely purchase all of these again. (Though honestly they’re great quality so you wouldn’t need to for a long time)

Raise your hand if you buy in bulk and want to reduce waste from packaging 🙋🏻‍♀️

I LOVE finding local grocery stores and markets that provide bulk buying options. This is our favorite spot for buying seeds, nuts, grains, protein and dried fruit mixes, and more near Tacoma. We also have an incredible spice shop that we bring our spice containers into the store when we need more of something.

Supporting local brands and encouraging sustainability and less waste is something I’m actively trying to do in my own life, and I really love supporting brands that avoid producing or purchasing more packaging that ultimately ends up being thrown away or recycled 💚 It’s not a perfect process, but it’s a step in the right direction.

Linked I’ve included some bulk pantry storage solutions and what we use at home in our kitchen. (Don’t get me wrong, the aesthetic pantry organization vibes are great, but less waste, packaging, etc. is my main motivation! Plus it’s cheaper to just buy what fits into the container I already own…)

These little jars are my new obsession! I started meal planning my morning smoothies in these (recipes below!) 🍓

Another spring must — sprouts and micro greens 💚

I recently purchased a sprouting kit so I can grow sprouts to add to my meals. Sprouts have so many health benefits, which being autoimmune is so important for me, including reducing inflammation, reducing bad cholesterol, improving gut health, cancer fighting… the list goes on. Make sure to do lots of reading to ensure your sprouts are properly cleaned, organic, and safe. Sustainability is a focus for me this year, so I’m really excited 🌱

Attention Harry Potter Fans ⚡️ Have you seen this Harry Potter Toddler and Baby Collection?? I snagged this adorable “Waiting for my Hogwarts letter” toddler sweatshirt for my 3 year old goddaughter last week — but there’s a precious Hedwig one, as well as a “Future Wizard” one… my other favorite has to be the navy blue Hogwarts one 🩵 Why there can’t be adult sizes in these is beyond me...

A new addition to my wellness library 📖

I think what I appreciate most about this book (which was developed in the UK by a naturopath, herbal practitioner, cosmetic scientist and aromatherapist, a nutritional therapist, and an advocate for sustainable living) is its holistic wellness approach — it combines recommendations for food, herbal teas, lifestyle changes, and other therapies (like counseling, hydrotherapy, acupressure, massage therapy, aromatherapy, etc.) to address the whole person. I absolutely love my doctors — find you a doctor who truly listens and cares about you, it’s a game changer — and this is something I’m using in combination with their recommendations.

Below I’ve linked some of my favorite clean living supplies, natural wellness products, remedies, etc. that I’ve found or have been recommended to me.

*please note that I’m not a doctor. I highly recommend having a traditional doctor and a naturopath who can give you personalized health recommendations and treatments. I share everything I’m doing with my doctors to ensure I’m doing what’s best for my body.

A steam cleaner with no harsh chemicals that uses ONLY water?? I’m obsessed! This steam cleaner uses only hot water to clean every nook and cranny in the home — from grout to floors to showers, ovens, windows, countertops… your home will never be so sparkly ❤️

This steamer uses only filtered water, so no need to buy a special cleaning solution, and you get your home deep cleaned and disinfected without worrying if your cleaner has any cancer causing ingredients. The Neat steamer comes with a bunch of attachments and cloths for a variety of surfaces too ✨

One of my favorite DIY tools (and honestly just general life essential) — these refillable paint touch up pens are so convenient! We fill these paint pens up with each type of paint for our house (walls, baseboard, cabinetry, etc.) and have them on hand if anything chips or gets marked up or scratched so you don’t have to open the paint cans for small fixes 👩🏻‍🎨

If you’re looking to make a big impact — a fireplace surround and mantle update / renovation is a must 😬

Our fireplace was originally short and stubby. We extended the wall to the ceiling, then removed the original tile and replaced with our current mantle and fireplace surround. Normally this fireplace would be concrete, but I realized we could instead build it using wood and then spray it using a satin paint finish 🤍🦢

If you’re looking for a natural wooden advent calendar, this one from Etsy is the CUTEST! It has a “traveling” Star of David, and there’s other wooden figures if you have kids who want something more interactive.

Adding some flocked Christmas tree decor too if you liked a frosty / snowy vibe.
