Joanna - Nesting Story

That doesn’t mean I don’t want to put any love into this space. So whether you are staying put for the foreseeable future or looking to list your house this spring, it doesn’t hurt to know where you will get a better bang for your buck. Thinking of replacing your flooring with hardwood throughout sounds like a big expensive project, but it truly makes a world of a difference to the overall look of your home. Whatever you want to call it don’t wait till you list your home to stage it in a way that will make you happy to live in a clear space.

It’s been a while since I shared a “day in the life” video with you, but I am so glad I took the time to film one this week. I began creating these types of videos way back when I first started dabbling in YouTube as a way to give you a fly-on-the-wall look into our busy life and how I do things with four kids, including twins. Although our twins aren’t crawling around and in diapers like when I first began creating these videos, today with all four kids in school I face new challenges. So grab a cup of coffee, put your feet up, or… let’s be real, pop your AirPods in and watch while you do the dishes, or put it on for your kids too.

Now that the sun is shining and the weather is warming up, it’s time to start bringing some light back into the days and my favourite way to do that is by adding some colour into my spring makeup routine! My favourite way to add colour to my makeup look for spring is by wearing bright lipstick! If you’re new to wearing bright lipstick and want to start off slow, you can use a regular lipstick and blend it out with your finger for a sheer wash of colour which looks more like a tint, rather than a bright statement colour. It’s hard not to feel great about yourself when you try something new with your makeup so throw on some bright lipstick and go rock your day with confidence!

Recently as I was sitting on the bench of our front porch, (the one purchase we had made for that space), watching our kids play on our driveway, and I looked around at the sparse, uninviting porch, I knew that it needed a makeover. Like I said, this space gets a lot of wind, so I wanted to make sure that it could blow right through the side table, instead of knocking it over. The table and pot are from Terra Greenhouses and and the pot is from HomeSense. You can watch the entire porch makeover here, including my shopping haul in Part One, and the complete makeover before and after…
