wowza!

I know, it's a miracle; two posts in two days!! Yippee! Well, I just HAD to post because I finally got around to spending my Joanne's gift card today! I got a couple pillows for my new pillowcases that my mom got for me and a book of scrapbook papers with a peacock theme. I know, obsessed! I bought two pillows that were too small, but then I figured out that one of my pillows I already had fit into the case, so I stuffed the two I bought into the other case and they turned out perfect! As always, "pics or it didnt happen!"

Yup, love it. There are two, but I would assume you get the jist of it with the one since they are identical and all....haha. And since I happened to notice online that scrapbooking supplies were 50% off at Joannes I just had to go and buy this scrapbook paper set that I had seen when I went there last month. It's called royal garden, but it is mostly teal blues, golds, and peacock feathers with a couple pages of "edges" and photo frames that I'm hoping to use in the future! I had bought a frame at Bed, Bath and Beyond with another gift card I recieved :), and decided to make this!



I'm not sure where I'm going to put it yet, since I havent made room for my bookshelf yet, and the bookshelf will go in one of the spots and this picture is going to go in the other, just haven't figured out which one will go where yet! Phew, that was a mouthful. Haha, I just realized I type exactly how I talk...fast and a bunch of sentences mooshed together into one. I guess that's cool?

So onto other news, I decided to make dinner last night. I've been trying to be better about helping out in the kitchen, and making more meals instead of just eating out when Drew is too tired to cook. I have another mission of making a delicious meal tonight as well, but I haven't decided what to make...cashew chicken...or turkey lasagna...or maybe even stir fry? I haven't gone shopping yet, so I might just wait for Drew to get home this time and make him help me with what we already have in the house, haha. Last night I made shrimp fried rice and mm MM that was DELISH! I had no clue what I was doing and I just followed this simple recipe online and it turned out better than some restaurants I've been to.

Well, I didn't quite touch on everything I had said I was going to, but I just had give a little update since today was so successful! Off to folding the laundry and finishing up the dishes.. man I feel like a woman!
OMG!!! I totally didn't mean to pull a Shania there, hahahaha wow.
Alright...until next time bloggers.

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...
