Happy Fall! Elizabeth here, and unlike Caroline I am often lackluster in the holiday decor department. 😬 I decided to go ahead and get a little festive today! My kids were just telling me we needed more Halloween decorations to put outside...I’m sure these lovely flowers were EXACTLY what they had in mind! 😉

Trying to finally pull some rooms together, including my 5 and 8 year old boys’ room. This will be a pretty on-the-cheap makeover. Going for a travel vibe. Anyone have a good suggestion for a light warm gray paint color for the walls? —E

We got a new 12 foot tree this year. A regular tree skirt just wasn’t going to cut it on this one. So the hubby threw together a bottomless crate around the tree and I love it! He used old fence boards and just cut them to length. 😍 -Caroline

Thanksgiving decor is done. 🙌 I always fiddle with everything up to the last minute, because I think it could look better. And I don’t know when to stop. 🦃 I was so happy to finally sew these pillow covers (gather, and orange check) that I bought stuff at Target TWO years ago. I’m on the slow schedule, obviously. The gather pillow was a placemat. I picked the bottom out and put a zipper in. Then I made the two orange checks cases from clearance dish towels. I put zippers in them too because I already have too many pillows. According to my family anyway. 🤷🏻‍♀️ Now, I’m going to go take a nap and try to avoid the plague (stomach flu) that is circulating at my house. Pray for me. 😳🤢

We made it through another Halloween! The wind and rain had us turning in early from trick or treating, and snuggling on the couch while watching Hocus Pocus. 🎃
Now we’ll decide what we are doing next year and I’ll start hunting for costumes tomorrow morning! #pirates #piratesofthecaribbean #piratecostume #familyhalloweencostumes #familyhalloween #trunkortreat

Working on “decanting” my pantry. I’m not going for magazine worthy here, but these chalkboard labels will be cute(and flexible)! What’s your pantry organization style? How do you keep it organized even while being used heavily??👇🏻 Comment below! —E .

Happy, bright, new curtains in the family room! I kind of love them! And I even bought more to go up in the kitchen as soon as I find curtain rods I like. Target tablecloths are kind of my favorite. I used them for my office curtains too. Just a different loud floral. 🌹🌼 Swipe to the the bland during (I was too excited to take a before shot. As usual. 😉)

View from my front porch. It's melting already, but was fun while it lasted. My kids were so bummed to go to school today. They wanted to stay home and play in the snow until it melted. ❄️

We had a successful Halloween! (First pic, row one: Alice, Queen of Hearts, the White Queen, White rabbit, row two: mad hatter, tweedle dee & tweedle dum, March hare, Jabberwocky, card soldier, Cheshire Cat.) I didn't manage to take many pictures this year, but we had the most fun we've had in years. Mostly because I did a better job of planning ahead this year. Everyone liked their costume and was happy about the huge amount of treats we racked up trick or treating. I'll be picking up wrappers for months. 😩 We one two out of three prizes at our Neighborhood's costume contest (Best boy and best girl costumes). And we managed to pick a theme for next year!! #aliceinwonderland #familyhalloweencostumes

Conference bingo is always a hit. As are pjs all day. 😉

After church most Sunday's, I'm worn out. Primary singing time and wrangling children into the car will do that to you. So, this is what Sunday afternoon looks like at our house. When you have four girls, you have a big nail painting session. I'm so glad my girls like to hang out with me and chat while I paint everyone's nails. We obviously have a wide range of color and finish tastes, but that's what makes life interesting, right? The baby boy wanted his nails painted, so we compromised by painting his toes white. The boys are reading and the rest are home teaching. #sabbath #dayofrest #sharegoodness
What's your favorite nail polish color?

We're on a lovely little vacation in Waco, TX! It's been so fun, and exhausting, but a much needed break from the construction debris out our house. Yesterday we visited #harpdesignco #magnoliamarket and enjoyed all the eye candy at the stores. It was way HOT! But a party with 11 kids to tote around. 😜 We kept them supplied with ice cream, so they were pretty good sports.

It's the little things that make you happy in life, am I right? I finally got one room put together after feeling like my house is a dump for all the stuff for months, pretty much since we moved. And it feels SO good! I forgot how peaceful it is to be at home when everything has a place. Excuse me while I throw the rest of my children's toys in the trash. Just joking. Kind of. 😜 P. S. Those navy stripe curtains are my favorite. And the little boys reading together.

"We are the Lord's secret weapon. ... The world won't tell us this stunning truth, but the spirit will. ... It is tIme to wake up to the potential magnitude of our full influence as latter-day women of God and then to ARISE and do what we were sent here to do." -Sheri Dew. Feeling inspired and connected this weekend with my mom and friends at @tofw_timeoutforwomen in Houston. #tofwhouston #tofwarise

This is so me lately! Saw this fun sign when I was out thrifting yesterday.
I'm having a lot of trouble letting (the little annoying things) go. And nobody likes a grumpy momma! I realized a few days ago that a big part of my problem is my lack of sleep, and not feeling like I'm getting enough done. Oh, the inefficiency of the bone tired. Just like when my kids get grumpy, I need more rest and better routines. So I'm sending myself to bed and sticking to my new morning routine. Because if momma ain't happy, ain't nobody happy!
Got any tips for things I should put in my morning routine to make my day go more smoothly?
