Making Life Beautiful

 Happy Tuesday! The last several years, I have been all about "romanticizing" my life and making everything special. Here are a few way I make life beautiful in little ways every day!

Use pretty bowls, plates, serving pieces, etc.

We got a few bowls on our honeymoon in Mexico, and I rarely ever use them. Yesterday I decided to eat my bagged salad out of it. Such a simple thing, but I loved eating from this bowl and remembering when we bought it! Plus, it's pretty!!

Here's a little peek into my serving piece cabinet! I got majority of these as wedding gifts! I could choose to serve out of original packaging, but doing serving out of pretty pieces just elevates things a little. It's no secret that I love to pull out the fine china for something as simple as a piece of Papa Johns pizza! I mean, why not?? Life is too short to not use those plates that cost quite a pretty penny. In addition to the pretty serving pieces....

Drinking glasses....

I love love love Estelle wine glasses for wine of course, but I also sometimes drink juice or something like La Croix out of them. Again, they cost a pretty penny, and I want to use them as often as possible! 

McCarty Pottery.

This is a Mississippi thing....this pottery is made in the MS Delta, and I love it so much. Serving pieces, animals, vases, and so much more. I have it all over my house, and it just makes me happy! I was gifted my first two pieces by our neighbor friend when I was maybe 11 or so, and I have built up quite a collection since then. If you ever find yourself in the Delta, take a little trip to the studio in Merigold! 

Gift wrapping...

Gift giving is my love language! I love to give a gift, and I love to make the gift as pretty as possible. I got this floral wrapping paper at Walmart for just a few dollars, the ribbon is reused from some of our wedding gifts, and my sister gave us the cute gift tags! I get to give this gift on Saturday, and I am so excited 😂. 

Display nice cookware.

Notice my newest addition to my kitchen?? I have been wanting a Le Creuset dutch oven for quite some time, and I am so happy to have gotten one! And of course in pink 😉. There's no way this thing was going in a cabinet!! I also display my cute Kate Spade tea kettle! And my mixer...also of course pink!

Get dressed and put shoes on.

I may not do this every day....but, I do as much as possible. It just makes me feel better and more productive when I get dressed in something cute! However, I can also be quite productive in pjs and slippers- ha!

Nice laundry detergent.

My clothes, sheets, and blankets smelling really good makes them feel nicer! I've been using Laundry Sauce for several months now, and I love it so much. I use the Egyptian Rose, and it is heavenly!

Thanks for stopping by! Have a great day!

Let's Look: January 2026

 Happy Wednesday!! Let's Look is one of my very favorite blog link ups and after not doing it last year, I am ready for it in 2026! I am linking up with Shay and Erika for this monthly series! Today, we are LOOKING at..... THINGS WE OUTSOURCE WITHOUT REGRET. Ok, there are so many things you can outsource that I just would rather do myself. I love to grocery shop. I think I would be weirded out by someone else doing my laundry. A house keeper is just not something we currently need or really want. BUT, there are occasions when outsourcing is just what needs to be done. Grocery Delivery/Pickup We don't do this often, but when we do it's pretty nice. That being said, I am usually ready to get back in the grocery store myself! Food Delivery This is another one we do not do often, but a Wednesday free delivery from Wingstop has sucked me in a few times 😂. And of course, pizza delivery is always nice! Plus, we can get food delivered to the school I work out, so that's nice e...

Friday Favorites {4.2.26}

 Happy THURSDAY. My days are getting so mixed up with a Friday holiday haha! Posting Friday Faves a day early since tomorrow is Good Friday. Whoop whoop! We're getting a 7Brew!! I'm gonna let the new wear off before I go, but dang I am so excited for this! Have y'all tried it?? My sister gave me this MacKenzie Child's cookie jar for my bday and I love!! I made some white chocolate, peanut, and M&M clusters and they looked so cute in it! I will try just about anything once haha, but I finally jumped on the Tik Tok bandwagon and grabbed this facial brush for lymphatic drainage. My mind could very easily be playing tricks on me, but I'm gonna say I see a difference! Got mind from Amazon! And I cannot close out this post without mentioning Autism Awareness and Acceptance Month! Please, please, please educate yourself on what it means to have Autism, how to explain it to your children, how to advocate, how to include, how to help- all the things!! Please remember, if...

Friday Favorites {12.19.25}

 And just like that.....it's CHRISTMAS BREAK! And my last post of 2025! But before all of that, let's get into some faves from my week! Linking up with Erika and Andrea. Some Christmas funnies for ya.... 😂😂😂 "Underground Spirit Week" We dress up or do something silly and the students have no idea, so it's constant confusion and laughter! So fun! Monday- PJ day. Tuesday-  Anything but a bag. Wednesday- Favorite Christmas song or movie character. Oh Christmas Tree, Rocking Around the Christmas Tree, or as one student said...the Rockefeller Christmas Tree! Thursday- Christmas tree topper meets hat. This one did not last long in my hair...hahahah! Today is another PJ day for "Kinderland"! My name is Maddie, and I am obsessed with good smelling laundry.... These both smell AMAZING. The Wicked one smells exactly like the perfume I have been wearing- Jo Malone English Pear and Sweet Pea. Makes me sad that it's limited edition... I was looking for some go...
