LETS TALK JEWELRY
To me accessorizing using jewelry can be so tough. for a few reasons…. the first being how constricting, heavy or chunky jewelry is really hard for me to wear. It can put me into a panic attack… no joke a concert bracelet did this to me one time.… Keep Reading
5 ON FRIDAY
To be honest, this week my brain is fried. So when sitting down to write this week, I honestly can’t think of 5 things from the week, other than the fact that I need more sleep. Matt was sick this week, and I REALLY cannot get sick and be out of commission, so I slept on the couch a few nights this week, and let me tell you….… Keep Reading
FEBRUARY GOALS 2020

LEARNING TO MAKE PARTY BOARDS
A new “to me” trend that I love is making fun and festive charcuterie boards for parties. I’ve always loved a simple meat/cheese/cracker plate, but then I found the world of boards on IG and instantly knew I wanted to make this a hobby.… Keep Reading

Talk about jumping right back into reality this week…MAN am I glad it’s Friday! This week seems like a jumbled mess. We did get to celebrate JD turning 7 last weekend which was so amazing (more on that in a bit).… Keep Reading
MEAL PLANNING MADE EASY
Years ago, not when we were first married but shortly after, I started planning out meals for the week. It’s second nature to me know, and something that comes so easy. It’s a habit and routine that most weeks I accomplish, but if I happen to miss a few weeks, it is simple enough to hop back into it.… Keep Reading

1. DO THIS DAILY
If there is one habit I swear by it is making my bed each day. So as we start into this new year, if you don’t already make this a priority, just try it. Will is work for you, I don’t really know and I HATE giving advice like I am an expert at anything (big pet peeve of mine online…and I am an expert in nothing).… Keep Reading

While Christmas being over can be kind of sad, I will say that this part of the holiday is kind of amazing. Sleeping in, relaxing, no schedule. Also, there is something about preparing for a new year that is exciting and overwhelming all at the same time.… Keep Reading
Christmas 2019
I hope everyone had a very special holiday filled with time with the ones they love. I thought I would share a little recap of our Christmas 2019. I don’t have any Youtube videos filmed or planned for the next few days (except maybe a 2020 planner preview)… or maybe possibly into the New Year, so the blog or on Instagram (@happilyahousewife) will be where to find me until 2020!… Keep Reading

I swear it is some joke on how quickly this holiday season is going by. While in a way I am feeling more prepared than I have in years past, I just feel like there hasn’t been a lot of down time to just soak it all in.… Keep Reading

Holiday Gifts 2019 | All About Kids
Sometimes I feel like buying for kids is the easiest, but at the same time… it’s so hard. It’s easy to pick a toy and just go with it, but, at least for me, I want things that are going to last past dinner on Christmas night.… Keep Reading
Holiday Gifts 2019 | My Wishlist

BACK TO SCHOOL PREP
Back to school prep is something some parents start as soon as the doors close on the last day of school. For others they scramble for those last few days before classes start to get it all done. No way is right or wrong and other than a few things, you can totally get all your shit together the weekend before the big day, I promise!… Keep Reading
