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.

I had SO much fun taking you along as I figured ou I had SO much fun taking you along as I figured out the furniture situation in our bedroom this morning. I fall into the same trap of scrolling through Instagram and feeling insecure about all the perfect polished homes, but I try to remind myself that behind every perfect polished space is someone dragging furniture around and putting holes in their walls saying “hmmm.... let’s see how this looks there?” I also learned that you all have strong opinions about pictures of your kids in your bedroom. 😜 Also the pronunciation of chaise is wrong on Google. I’ve also learned that this week. Thanks for all your great suggestions today and for helping me brainstorm some layout options. What is one thing you’ve held off doing in your own home? Paint? Hanging art? Curtains?

AD: The sun sets real early these days which means AD: The sun sets real early these days which means I am always on the lookout for quick and easy ways to entertain my kids. Do I remember the darkness sets in early and plan ahead? No. No I do not. But thanks to @armandhammer Recess, I was able to find a bunch of fun, easy activities that entertain my kids using things I have around the house. Arthur and I made modeling clay with Arm & Hammer Baking Soda. It has a wonderful smooth consistency which we loved. We gathered things around the house to see what sort of imprint they would make (forks, potato masher, patterned glasses, a bumpy bowl... ) and turned the clay into ornaments! Searching for items was Arthur's favorite part and I had to gently reject things like a hair brush or the dog's paw! We had to learn how hard to press down on the dough and experimented with how thick to roll the dough- lots of great hands-on discovery! The next day the ornaments were mostly dry so we strung them up to make this fun hanging wall decor! Check out my stories to see us make them! #MakeYourBreak #AHRecess #MorePowerToYou
With an empty office around me, I recorded one las With an empty office around me, I recorded one last video in the old house for @homedepot (I’ll leave a link in my stories so you can go listen to the echo! 🤦🏼‍♀️). This hanging wood pet organization station- say that 10 times fast- doubles as a plant stand in the new house.  I had to find a spot for it because it’s 💯 and I love it. Finally... matching loungewear is now who I am along with reading glasses and Invisalign so I’m feeling pretty dang hawt. As you were, folks. Carry on.

Today was historic as every inauguration is. A rem Today was historic as every inauguration is. A reminder of the gift we all have to be part of democracy that allows for a peaceful transition of power. Today recognized the first woman of color sworn in as Vice President. Absent of people who would typically gather on the national mall, the sea of flags was a reminder of the 400,000+ deaths this year as a result of COVID. And the youngest person to ever read at a presidential inauguration brought down the house. 22-year-old Amanda Gorman painted with her words. She wove a magical cloth of truth and power as she spoke. “We've learned that quiet isn't always peace… And yes, we are far from polished, far from pristine, but that doesn't mean we are striving to form a union that is perfect. We are striving to forge our union with purpose… We lay down our arms so we can reach out our arms to one another. We seek harm to none and harmony for all…We will not be turned around or interrupted by intimidation because we know our inaction and inertia will be the inheritance of the next generation.” Just… wow. #achfamilyroom #mural #banyanbridgesbold #archmural #paintedwall #saynotoemptywalls #paintedmural #diymural
Let’s talk about sexy talk when you’re middle Let’s talk about sexy talk when you’re middle aged. Something like the word “organization” might cause you to flush. Wanna really rev those engines? “Storage bin.” And don’t get me started with the pulse-racing excitement of a good box (@house.of.esperanza am I right?). Today I got all hot and bothered on stories and showed you how we arranged our basement for optimal toy sorting, toy storage and toy enjoyment. This is a family channel so I didn’t want to go to far by mentioning any labels, but those are next! Check out @loveyourabode and @madebycarli for more toe curling stories over on their channels!
