Hey you! Did you get the memo? 🤔I started a private community to discuss all the “behind the scenes” of blogging and inspire you to run your creative business. Our very first private community event is happening this Saturday afternoon. Are you signed up?! 🤗 . . Last week, we touched the surface of personal image. At the end of discussion we concluded that when you look good, you feel good. You’re confident too! 🙌 So this weekend Arie of @delightfullystyled will help us feel confident for photo and video, by teaching us some PRO makeup tips/tricks. 🙌 . . Not in my private community but want to join? Just let me know here or send a DM and I’ll get you added. . . See you there! 🤩 . . #closefriends #community #confidence #confidencequotes #confidencecoach #confidenceboost #confidentwomen #confidentlybeautiful #communitysupport #communityovercompetition #blogging #bloggingtips #blogginglife #bloggingtips #creativebusiness #creativebusinessowner #bloggersofinstagram #makeuptutorial #makeuptips #makeuplooks

#Sundays are #plant care day. 🍃Most of my indoor plants only need to be watered once a week and Sundays are perfect for caring for my plants. In addition to having a dedicated day to check on my plants, being attentive to their needs is next. What does the soil feel like, what do they leaves look like (brown/yellow/spots), and how are the roots holding up in the current pot? These are things to look out for, watch, and give attention to. 👀 So much goes into being a good plant parent and I’m so happy to do better over the years. 🤗 . . Over the years, my thumb has turned from black to brown to pretty green. 🙌 I have lots of other plant care tips that you can read about on the blog. Search “plants”. . . What’s your best plant tip?

Happy Saturday and second day of October! 🍂Yesterday was just so busy I didn’t get to relish in the fact that another month is here. 🙌This summer was abnormal for us in a lot of ways but it was still good. Now that fall is here I’m just hoping the hurricanes stay away for good and that cool weather stays for the fall season. 🍁 . . October also means it’s the fourth quarter. The year has flown by and now there are only 3 months left. 😬Wow is all I have to say about that! We will be working on several home projects this month, including our wet bar. What do you have planned for October? Let me know in the comments below. 👇🏼 . .

Guess what? I made my bed for the second day in a row! No, I’m not a regular “make the bed” kind of girl but boy doesn’t it make the whole room look put together (even though my freestanding tub is next to my nightstand)? 😬🙌 . . ✅Let me know in the comments - do you make your bed everyday or just occasionally? 👇🏼 . . I’m dying to know how normal or abnormal I am. Haha!

#sponsored Is your home fall-ready? 🍂One way I’m prepping my home is with a @glade candle 2-pack in the Apple of My Pie Fragrance. I don’t go overboard with seasonal decor, just a few touches here and there. Here’s my “4 Tips to Get Your Home Fall-Ready."🍁 . . 1) Add layers. Freshen up your living areas with new throw pillows and throws. Work in warm tones that fit your home style and use a basket for extra blankets. 🤗 . . 2) Pickup scents of the season. Glade Candle 2-pack and Glade PlugIns Scented Oils are one way to get ready for fall. Glade is America’s #1 Selling Fall Fragrance Brand*.  Glade candles are easy to pickup at my local Supercenter in the air care aisle, too. Apple pie is my favorite dessert, so I knew I wanted to try that specific seasonal scent in my home. I plugged in the Glade PlugIns Scented Oils in the Apple of My Pie Fragrance and it instantly took over my kitchen! The whole family remarked about the good smell. 🍎 . . 3) Stockpile wood for cooler months. A basket can hold wood for the upcoming fall and winter months. You’ll be ready for a cold freeze with a nice stockpile of burning wood. 🪵 . . 4) Add in fall blooms. Whether it's mums, pumpkins, or fall leaves, add in items that fit your home style and are easy to swap out for the next season. Remember, don’t go overboard - just a few touches here and there. 🍃 . . Happy fall y’all! 🪵🍁🍃 . .

#ad Back to school time is here and that means more weeknight meals at home. It can take some time to ease back into the routine but a #mealplan always helps. I like to cook meals that take no longer than 30 minutes like this “Easy Chicken Sausage and Shrimp Jambalaya” recipe featuring Ben’s Original ™️Ready Rice™️. It’s easy, quick to prepare, and yummy! 🙌 . . As a busy homeschooling mom, it’s so convenient to pickup Ben’s Original ™️ Ready Rice ™️ from my local Walmart. It has the a new look but contains the same great taste and quality you know. I love that within 90 seconds I have all the rice I need to get a hot dinner on the table too! This takes the hassle out of dinner time.🙌 . . Do you meal plan for back to school? Let me know in the comments below.

Hello #sunday it’s so nice to see you! 😍 Yesterday, we got zero painting done and went to look at some new construction homes and enjoyed an impromptu dinner outdoors. Woo hoo for keeping the #kitchen clean one more night. Now it’s Sunday afternoon and it’s time to meal plan, review the schedule for the week, and get the kids to bed on time tonight. Will @bholli and I paint? Ha! 🤷🏽‍♀️ . . Enjoy your Sunday evening 🤗 #sundayvibes #sundayvibes #kitchendecor #sundaymood☀️ #grovecollaborative #candles #candlesofinstagram #candlelover #candlelove #cuttingboard #plants #plantsofinstagram #plantstagram #plantsplantsplants #plantsmakepeoplehappy #pothos #pothosplant #plantmom #grovehome

Happy #weekend! I’ve been in the kitchen doing all the cleaning things but I’m officially done. @bholli said he would help me paint in the living room. Plus we need to pickup materials for the master bathroom. Whatever the case, I’m just happy the room I spend the most time in is in order. . . What do of the week do you clean?

Monday Coffee Series - Happy #monday! We are headed #backtoschool today at home and excited to jump into learning. We have been #homeschooling for 3 years now and it has ups and downs. But this #homeschoolmom has learned a lot (a few things I’ve shared on the blog search “homeschool”) and this I know for sure… . . No two days are the same. Just roll with it! 💃🏽 . . Patience is a virtue and will come in handy almost everyday.😊 . . Rome wasn’t built in a day and a child cannot learn to read and write in a day either. It will take a lot of time. Be patient. . . I have enough education to teach my kids or hire the help they need. Im qualified. 🙌 . . Make time to be present for the kids and help them learn. If I don’t have the answers I can find them. ❤️ . . I feel confident in these things or at least keep telling myself them. What do you constantly tell yourself for confidence? Have a great Monday!

Well hello @behrpaint Alpine Trail.😍 This wall is kicking off our upcoming wet bar project because the bar is on this wall. I knew I wanted a moody color and I really feel in love with #alpinetrail. Midday, the green shines through and at night it’s dark and sort of envelopes you. I have a feeling the whole living room will see this color and that will completely change the look of the space. 😍 After many years, I’m actually feeling very inspired in this space and I can’t wait to share more. For now, enjoy this view… . . In other news, we are kicking off a fresh start to our homeschool schedule tomorrow. I’m ready to get these kids to the next level and set new goals for them. I’ll share more in my stories. . . Have a great week!🙌 . . #behrmarquee #behrpaint #behralpinetrail #green #home #myhome #myhomevibe #myhomestyle #myhome2inspire #myhomedecor #mybohoabode #mybohohome #bohovibes #greenvibes #mybhg #mybhghome #mytargetstyle #targetstyle #target #moodyinteriors #barcart #barcartstyling #plants #plantsofinstagram #plantmom #fallstyle #plantlover #plantlady #fallvibes

Happy Monday! Started my day with a 15 minute walk and a #smoothiebowl. Now, it’s time to get into the day. My weekend wasn’t productive from a work perspective so trying to make sense of what’s ahead this week. I really just tried to relax over the weekend. As it gets close to the busiest season, for my #blog, I’m embracing all of the little breaks in my schedule…no matter what day they fall on. The things is there is something always to be done…now let me go figure out what that is today. 😅 . . Also for this smoothie bowl recipe, head to my stories for the link! 🤗 . . #smoothie #smoothierecipes #smoothiebowls #smoothierecipe #smoothietime #smoothielove #smoothielover #smoothielife #healthyfood #healthylifestyle #healthysnacks #proteinsmoothie #blogger #louisianablogger
