If you haven’t guessed already, I’m Kacie. I’m a mama to a sweet seven-year-old boy and the cuddliest two-year-old lab. My husband and I have been married 7 years, together for 9 years. He’s my best friend and my adventure buddy. My family and I recently moved to Coeur d’Alene, Idaho where we built our new home. Which I am (clearly and obviously) having so much fun decorating. I’d say my decor style is modern-minimalist-farmhouse. If that’s even a thing. If it’s not, it is now! I’m an emergency room nurse, and I LOVE what I do. I put mustard on (almost) everything and it’s probably not socially acceptable... and there’s a 99% chance I can eat my body weight in chips and salsa. A few of my favorite things are: family time, running, yoga, the outdoors, wine, traveling, my country, cooking, a good book, and just havin fun. I’m a firm believer in making your own luck, long drives with pretty views, spontaneous trips to the mountains, big belly laughs, bear hugs, and taking the road less traveled. I’m happy you’re here! * This site contains affiliate links to products.

The Easiest DIY Mirror Upgrade

We bought a builder-grade house. And (surprise) it came with builder-grade mirrors. You know, the plain-jane mirrors connected by the little clips. I knew that I wanted to do SOMETHING to make them look better. I contemplated buying new mirrors altogether, which was turning out to be very expensive. So I searched for a more budget-friendly alternative! One of my Instagram buddies, @societyofsumner, had posted how she framed her builder-grade mirrors. Hers came out so good. And I knew I had to do it! I did a little internet search and there are A LOT of people who have done this in various ways. I’m going to share with y’all how I did it. And if you aren’t already wondering… the whole project cost me about $75 for both bathrooms! Continue reading “The Easiest DIY Mirror Upgrade” →

Guys. I don’t know if I’m alone in this, but sometimes I feel like I black-out when I’m at the grocery store. I just wander around throwing things in my cart that I think we’ll eat that week and then I’ve spent $200. And when I get home, I realize I still don’t have more than one full dinner, but I have a lot of useless snacks or little bits and pieces of things. I know that a lot of people plan their family meals for the week, so this week, I tried it for the first time. And yall. The entire week of dinners cost me $65 and there has been leftovers that we have eaten for lunch. And it’s healthy. And my eight-year-old likes it! How did I do it? Let me share it with you!

If you didn’t know, I’m a huge supporter of all things cozy. Cozy pajamas, cozy socks, cozy blankets, cozy rooms. During the holidays, it’s easy to create that cozy, festive home filled with lots of warmth. But what about after? We still have a couple months of winter, and I don’t know about you, but I definitely want that cozy feeling to stay even if the holidays have come to a close. Especially since I live somewhere that temperatures drop well-below freezing! In the spirit of that, I thought I’d share some of my favorite tips for creating that cozy feeling in your own home. Click below to read more.

Currently enjoying this view for a couple more days. Yes, Christmas is over. But we wait till January 1st to take down the tree! Taking down my Christmas decorations always makes me a liiiiittle sad.

Cold Weather Must Haves

by Everyday KacieLeave a Comment on Cold Weather Must Haves

The temperatures have dropped as low as 15 degrees in North Idaho so that inspired me to share with y’all my cold weather must haves! Growing up in Southern California, I had no real cold weather clothes. My idea of cold was high 50s low 60s. So I have slowly collected an arsenal of cozy, toasty, warm stuff. Dick’s Sporting Goods is 20% off online today (including sale!) with free shipping so I have collected my favorite cold weather must haves from their website to share with you! This post is not sponsored by Dick’s. I just love a good sale + they have a freaking good selection.
