thoughts...

Today is my day off! I am SOOO excited, but I also have a lot going on that I want to do...hang with co-workers, hang with besties, hang with family...not sure where to start! Sorta wondering what I'll do since I ALSO need to go to the craft store to grab a few things! I think I might start at lucky's and grab a 12 pack of mason jars I saw there for 12 bucks, super stoked. To best honest, I just really love the idea of decorating with mason jars! There are so many cute ideas out there.

Anyway, I think that's a good start, buying the jars. Having them, I have several possiblities of where to go next....start dying the jars....do a few little decorations with them....whatevs. I think my next project that I am going to do and complete this week is the lampshade in my bedroom. This is going to be super easy, all I need to do is buy a new lampshade in a white or plain color and then decorate it! I decided that I am going to add some deep red (to sorta match the bathroom...not sure what color theme to go with the zebra since drews not thrilled about pink...haha) ribbons or fabrics around the lampshade. Then I am going to add flowers like these...
but with zebra print and maybe white and black patterns or just plain white and black ones too. We will see when I head to the store and grab some fabrics! The awesome thing about these is you can also just make them out of old shirts, rags, or just those little quarter fabrics they sell at the stores for less than a dollar! Or something...? Anyway those are my next projects/goals and I hope to complete them this week! Even if I don't get to start them up today, my work schedule is perfect for having time to do some crafty thangs... :)'


Oh and here's how the bedroom looks so far....  so that lamp is what i'll be fixing up. The zebra cork board is hung up now and there are a couple pictures and items on the side tables too. It's all coming together quite nicely. I want to get a nice picture to hang over the bed...or just a headboard would be nice....we'll see...

Chronicling the following: Unicorn Space, 75 Holistic, and being a new mom to two

 I feel like it's easy to create goals, but a lot harder to stick to them! You get caught up in the daily grind or something *happens* and you never get back into it (whatever IT may be).  I had a baby almost 3 months ago and I also have a 3 year old, so life is a little hectic and crazy. I also lost my dad about a year and a half ago and that was a huge mental load in many ways. Even though my baby is still young, I want to really start reaching the goals that I set for myself in order to 1. set a good example for my family, 2. be the best mama I can be (and I can only do that if I am participating in some self-care and making time for myself) and 3. well I mean who doesn't like accomplishing things? 4. be set up for success once life gets "easier"  To start, I am going to add journaling to my unicorn space goals. I want to do more than that, but I think it's a good way to get my creative juice flowing and I can figure out what I would like to do next. Ideas incl...

I think I might blog about it

I am feeling bloggy today! I'm about ready to fire up the instagram (and dare I say start up my tiktok?) again and in about a month I'll be making the switch to my fall/winter capsule wardrobe. But here's the thing...I'm having SO much fun in my current spring/summer one! I'm pretty sure I am going to combine them for a somewhat larger than average, but longer lasting, capsule. A lot of people switch theirs every season. I tend to switch it up every 6 months. Now it may be more of a "this is my wardrobe forever and everytime I buy something new I get rid of something with holes or stains" wardrobe.  Anyway- My incredibly loose formula for building a capsule is as follows:  Figure out my color scheme! I did a brown base for my last fall/winter and navy base for my spring/summer. I think that this time around I will do a navy base for my fall/winter, but keep in some of the brown as a secondary color. I also always have a cool off-white as my second base col...

Britton Bigfoot Basecamp

 FUN NEWS!  We bought a pop up camper!  And we named her the Britton Bigfoot Basecamp. Eliza is currently obsessed with Bigfoot so it felt right. We did ask ChatGPT for some name suggestions, but Alex and I came up with this on our own! I told ChatGPT that we are a family of 4 with two young girls looking for a name for our new pop up camper. We love music and the outdoors, and our 3 year old loves Bigfoot! Some of my fave Chat suggestions were Pop goes the Brittons, Popped and Rocked, In Tune and In Tents, Off Key and Off Road, but Alex wasn't thrilled with them. Luckily, some of the Chat's suggestions inspired us to where we ended up!  We are going to chronicle our renovation of the pop up, which is luckily in amazing condition. We also want to try not to spend an exorbitant amount of money, so I think I'll also share what we are spending along the way.  First up is cleaning! I have spent about $40 on a cleaner that gets rid of mildew, a mop for cleaning the c...
