Day 10 of Whole30 and while parts of this have been hard, adjusting to a new routine, meal planning, making separate meals for my kids, skipping restaurants, etc. 😅…it has also been incredibly eye-opening. ✨

More than anything, I’ve realized exactly where my cravings live: a sweet drink or treat 🍫🥤 and a few salty snacks 🥨. It’s been surprisingly hard not to reach for those things. Dang habits! 🤪

Days 7-8 were definitely the hardest for me for some reason. I felt like I could not stay full, was constantly craving sugar and carbs 🍞🍪, and honestly started to feel discouraged because I still had not noticed a real difference in my gut. I was still feeling super bloated. 😩

But then I read that this can actually be really normal when you switch to eating more fiber, fruits, and vegetables 🥦🍎. Your body needs time to adjust, and sometimes that adjustment can temporarily make the bloating worse before it gets better.

But today…I woke up feeling noticeably less bloated, less inflamed, and for the first time I could actually see a visible difference in my stomach. 🙌🏼

So while I still have a ways to go, I’m feeling encouraged to keep going and hopeful that I’ll finally get some answers. 🤍

In the meantime, I’m learning new ways to make my afternoon drink still feel a little indulgent, because apparently that 3pm treat is deeply embedded in my soul. ☕️🤣

Things I’m living for these days: sunlight that hits just right, open windows, a made bed, home cooked meals, a clean kitchen, soft jazz playing softly in the kitchen, prayer time around the table, lamp glow at 6pm.

The older I get, the more I realize that the life I was searching for was never found in the big, dramatic moments. It was hidden in the ordinary things all along. In the quiet rhythms of a home that feels lived in and loved.

Tell me one small, ordinary thing you’re living for these days. I want to know.

Whole 30 Approved Breakfast! 🥚🍳🍅🧅

We’ve been doing everything to stay on top of healthy meals, and we have found that this is one of those recipes that is fast and yummy and stays good in the fridge too!

Here’s the recipe:

•7-8 eggs
•salt & pepper to liking
•1/2 onion
•1/2 pepper
* Add a splash of coconut milk or almond milk for additional fluffiness

Directions:
• Dice and sauté your onions and peppers
• Use a cupcake pan that you have lightly greased with extra-virgin olive oil and add sautéed peppers and onions to each cup
• in a separate bowl add all your eggs and seasonings plus milk and stir well
• pour the egg mixture into each cupcake pan (a little over halfway full).
• Bake at 400° for 20 to 25 minutes

And if you have a minute, let me know if you would try this recipe. Every comment helps keep this platform going!

Overalls + a striped tee = my favorite kind of easy outfit. 🤎 Comfortable enough for errands, cute enough for antique shopping, and finished off with the best neutral platform sandals.

I am obsessed with these wide leg pants that double as my workout pants and my “work pants” 🤪. Oh and did I mention they come in more than one color?? Also this tank is from the same line and is soooo comfy I grabbed two!

This new fleece zip up is my whole personality right now ❤️ comes in so many more colors too!

My Closet

I didn’t get the pink room of my dreams growing up… and no, it wasn’t a tragic childhood event 😌

But apparently my adult coping mechanism is turning an entire room into a whimsical, vintage-inspired pink fantasy.

For the children.
Obviously. 💅

If you love vintage-inspired, moody, lived-in corners and old homes that feel layered and personal… follow along. I’m basically just over here decorating like it’s therapy ✨

Pink Room

A little “in my cart” roundup today 🛍️ These are the pieces I’m currently eyeing for spring—timeless basics, elevated neutrals, and a few fun finds I keep coming back to. Saving them here in case you’re browsing too!

#LTKBeauty

Spring break, but make it effortless. ☀️🌿

Easy linen sets, throw-on dresses, woven sandals, and the kind of pieces that work for beach walks and coffee runs.

Light layers. Neutral tones. Packed once, worn all week.

Everything currently in my cart for a simple, pulled-together spring break.

In My Cart

I wish I could say I’m the kind of person who creates one cozy corner and peacefully enjoys it forever…

…but unfortunately I am someone who sees one room thriving and immediately thinks, “What if another room felt this loved too?” 🫠

So yes — something had to be dismantled in the name of ✨emotional support décor✨

If you also rearrange your house like it’s a living organism with needs… you’re my people.

Follow along for slow home projects, cozy corners, real-life homemaking, and the occasional chaos that comes with loving an old house well 🤍

Primary Bedroom

A question we get quite often: what are the dimensions of your dining room recessed paneling?

We added this recessed paneling to our dining room in 2024 in an effort to give this space more depth and add additional charm.

It was a beautiful room before but this wall feature took it to the next level!

You can visit the blog to get exact dimensions for this space and learn more about how we achieved this timeless look! LINK IN BIO!

There’s something about the way a rug grounds a space—how it can shift the whole feeling of a room with nothing more than texture and tone. ✨

We recently swapped out the rug in the boys’ adventure room for the Weatherstaff from the new Leanne Ford x Loloi collection, and I’m in love with the warmth it brought in. The cinnamon and natural stripes feel timeless—like something you’d find in an old seaside cottage or tucked away cabin.

This whole line is filled with natural fibers, honest color, and that effortless lived-in beauty @leannefordinteriors does best.

POV: you’re building a Little Women-inspired Christmas and paper stars are practically a requirement ✨

I grabbed this 5-piece set for $36 and was shocked at how lovely they are: crisp folds, beautiful shape, plus lights and a remote included.

They arrive folded, and all you do is pull them open and the magnets click into place. Truly feels like a little bit of Christmas magic. ⭐️

You don’t need to run to the store or spend hours planning — sometimes the prettiest tables come together with what’s already around your home. 🍎
