How to Handle Negative Comments Online

Psssst... this post *might* contain affiliate links: see my disclosure here.

February 27, 2019

Dealing with negativity online can be a challenge for any content creator; see how I handle it and ways that my friends do too!  I was tagged on Instagram the other day with a question and when I clicked over to answer, I realized it was on sponsored post from my Valspar video shoot so I hadn’t seen it in my feed.

2018 Year in Review On the Blog

Psssst... this post *might* contain affiliate links: see my disclosure here.

January 5, 2019

Happy New Year everyone! Let me first go on record and say that I don’t really know how to read my analytics so these are NOT my “most popular” or “most read” posts of the year. But when I look back through each month of content… these are the moments that make me smile or carry some importance so I figured it might be fun to look back.

Better Homes and Gardens Stylemaker Event 2018

Better Homes and Gardens Stylemaker Event

A couple of weeks ago, I headed into the city to attend the annual Better Homes and Gardens Stylemaker Event! The editors of Better Homes and Gardens plan an amazing day of listening and learning and celebrating for a handful of select food and decor ‘stylemakers.’ (You should know that I have incriminating photos of most of the BHG editorial staff which explains my invitation.)

Make Your Own Head Cut Out

make a giant head cut out

This post is so silly, but I love it so much! My friend Caleb from You Can Make This Too, uses a cardboard cutout of his head and torso when he’s setting up a video to ensure proper focus. Essentially a cardboard stunt double so he can set up his shot properly. It always makes me chuckle when I see that cardboard head hovering in the background of his videos, so I had to make my own!

Welcome to Mom Camp

Psssst... this post *might* contain affiliate links: see my disclosure here.

June 20, 2018

Thursday was my kids’ last day of school so I officially have a very full house for the next eight weeks. Not that I don’t love having my kids home (I mostly kinda sorta do…), but I started day dreaming about what a week of Mom Camp would look like.

You know that moment when the kids walk in the hou You know that moment when the kids walk in the house after school and instantly every cabinet and snack container and pantry drawer is wide open? #ad A constant quest in the Smith house is how to take the edge off after school hunger without spoiling their appetite for dinner. I partnered with @greengiant to see whether their line of frozen Veggie Fries® and Veggie Rings® would do the trick and... folks, the kids loved them! Notice that I said v-e-g-g-i-e. That's short for VEGETABLE! In other words, this might be the greatest snack hack of all time. If you're looking for a way to add more vegetables to your life, these easy to prep veggie snacks were given two thumbs up by the Smith kids. (All five of them!) #GreenGiant
I wasn’t planning on tackling my big garage floo I wasn’t planning on tackling my big garage floors this week, but then I checked the weather and realized I needed to just... START. I’m SUPER intimidated by this one because it has such a large scope. So many steps. And staring at a garage filled to the BRIM with stuff felt real overwhelming. So a few weeks ago I took my first bite and ordered the stuff to help me organize the space. That helped a lot because for the first time in months I could see the floor. (Which was the thing that needed to be painted.) To start on the floor, I had to move everything out. Not necessarily easy, but it required zero thought. Move the stuff from Point A to Point B. That’s not too hard. Before I can do anything about the paint, I knew I needed to clean the floor. So I swept. And then I blew out the dust. And then I power washed. Was it a lot of work? Sure. But it wasn’t scary work. It wasn’t so intimidating anymore. All of a sudden this really BIG project became something I could manage because I started to experience it as lots of smaller projects. Stay tuned for all the small steps that will make my one big garage project happen! What’s a big project you’re intimidated by but know you need to take on eventually?

Today’s project is a double whammy. I got to try Today’s project is a double whammy. I got to try my hand at infomercialling by spilling all sorts of gnarly things onto this @cryptonfabric from @joann_stores (soy sauce… ketchup... highlighter… crayon) and then showing you how they magically clean up. (For real… they totally did! 🤯) But then I ALSO got to go thrifting and found a table to transform into an upholstered ottoman. This seat is sturdy enough for the kids to climb all over. It’s durable enough for the kids to climb all over. And it’s chic enough that I’m happy to have it in our family room for the kids to climb all over! I love how this turned out and am always grateful for colorful useful decor that is also practical for our family! Win win win win!! #handmadewithjoann #sponsored
Things are hopping over here! Shared a bit of our Things are hopping over here! Shared a bit of our vision for the exterior today in my stories. Doors, painting, lights, corbels... It’s an investment but it’s also going to be such a big improvement! Also note that 2 minutes after I took this picture I fiddled with one of the bricks and now 1/2 of one step has been taken apart so if anyone local knows a mason... looks like we need one. Sharing a fun project with you tomorrow as well as a peek at my next big room makeover! Also feeling like it’s time for a phone upgrade but putting that off for another day because... money. Mondays I tell ya.... wowzas.

I DID IT!!! I remembered to get a family photo aft I DID IT!!! I remembered to get a family photo after our neighborhood egg hunt and I’ve been feeling smug ever since. Arthur wore his fanciest soccer shorts just for the occasion. Not that anyone’s keeping track but the current cupcake count in our house is 41 since two of the kids decided to bake. Breakfast was pixie sticks (thank you Easter bunny) and I’m about to go up and watch more of @hgtv ’s old White Room challenge episodes. That’s a show I’d love to be on!! Hope everyone had a wonderful day and don’t feel like I’m unrelatable now that I got a family photo.
