Instagram post 2141716467895655179_4115429578 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! 😉 . . . . #happyfall #happyfallyall #happyfallyall🍂 #happyfall🍁 #homedecor #frontdoor #wreaths #fallflowers #fallflowerarrangement #cheapdecor
Instagram post 2048845177078381421_4115429578 Finally got the beds painted in my boys room, now to finish cleaning up (legos and books were taking over, so those are moving back down to the playroom!) then hang some things on the walls! Maybe new bedding??
Instagram post 1983046295820418614_4115429578 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
Instagram post 1935122565962373404_4115429578 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
Instagram post 1917835195567065362_4115429578 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. 😳🤢

Instagram post 1902684392388896598_4115429578 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
Instagram post 1882199280237938739_4115429578 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 . . . #organization #organized #pantryorganization #chalkboardlettering
Instagram post 1874254066373312556_4115429578 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. 😉)
Instagram post 1665310928614125661_4115429578 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. ❄️

Instagram post 1638188498615543800_4115429578 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
Instagram post 1616110981536838179_4115429578 We're ready for #ldsconf ! Conference bingo is always a hit. As are pjs all day. 😉
Instagram post 1580732817344498368_4115429578 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?
Instagram post 1558746459956706339_4115429578 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.
Instagram post 1542910143599854610_4115429578 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.
Instagram post 1503877634039115438_4115429578 "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
Instagram post 1502644771260116349_4115429578 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?

Instagram post 1494444850677685169_4115429578 Happy Easter! So grateful for all my people. Those pictured here and those scattered across the country. Thankful for the reality of the resurrection and the blessings of the temple so I can have all of my family forever.
