  • Do you consider yourself a minimalist or a maximalist? Christina @thediymommy was talking about this the other day and it got me thinking. I honestly don't know what our house portrays. I appreciate minimalism and strive to be more purposeful with our things and simplified, but I also love having pictures hung on every wall and cozy blankets strewn about.

  • Hi! 👋 There's a lot of new faces around here lately, so I thought I'd give a little Monday morning intro. My name is Amanda and these precious souls are my favorite humans. 🖤🖤🖤 ➕ Justin and I have been married 8 years and have known each other since diapers. He is a UX designer and is the best daddy! 😍 That cute little blondie, Clara, is a firecracker, recently started preschool (and is LOVING it!), and loves to sing and dance. Our precious little brunette, Maggie, is the sweetest little snuggler and has taught me to slow down. She is getting such a personality and I think these girls are going to compete for biggest class clown at school. These people are my world and I can't imagine life without them. We're total homebodies and would eat pizza and do movie night every evening if we could get away with it. ➕ I share simple DIY projects and home decor on my blog, A Crafted Passion. I just recently came out with my first book, Creative Momma: Empowering You to Create Amidst the Chaos, and it was an amazing and challenging experience. I love to travel, eat dark chocolate, and never make our bed unless people are coming over. 🤦‍♀️ ➕ So, that's a little bit about us, now it's your turn. I'd love to know something fun about you! . . . #randomfacts #aboutme #diyblogger #homeblogger #momblogger #pdx #simpleliving #documentyourdays #flashesofdelight #livethelittlethings #motherhood #motherhoodsimplified #our_everyday_moments #uniteinmotherhood #honestlymothering #motherhoodunplugged

  • This gorgeous wall in the @sutekiamerica house at #streetofdreamspdx reminds me of our shim wall we did in the entry a year ago with 538 little wood shims. I'm still totally obsessed with adding texture to a wall and am curious if you are too? Would you try something like that or are you more of a simple wall gal? . . . . #modernhome #interiordecorator #moderndecor #hgtvmagazine #mybhg #interior4all #ahomemadehome #mywhitedecor #showemyourstyled #handmademodernhome #lightandbright #styleathome #scandinavianhome #nordichome #smmakelifebeautiful #howyouhome #doingneutralright #mycovetedhome #heyhomehey #mybhghome #inmydomaine #houseandhome

  • Is it your first instinct to rest or quit? I am realizing more and more lately how true this is. 🖤🖤🖤 ➕ I'm not good at resting or taking breaks, but as I've learned to listen to myself and my body, I know that it is crucial to my emotional and physical wellbeing. Are you listening to yourself? Maybe you need to set the to-do list aside and take care of yourself today. ➕ Earlier this week I looked at my RescueTime dashboard and over the last month I averaged 55 hours on my computer a week. 55! 😳 No wonder I felt like I was working more than a full time job on top of trying to keep up with other blog stuff and, oh, you know, just being a mom. That was the wake up call I needed. So this week I spent a lot of time just hanging out with kiddos, going on walks, taking naps, and watching Doc McStuffins. I knew I was exhausted, but I didn't really understand to what extent until I started to slow down and rest. ➕ I just want to challenge you to ask yourself today how are you doing? How are you really doing? If you're feeling overwhelmed or exhausted or wiped, take a break...don't give up. . . . . #matteblack #hgtv #cljsquad #myrichandmoodyhome #homewithrue #wayfair #selfcare #selflove #selfcarematters #madeformore #fillyourcup #selfgrowth #motherhood #motherhoodsimplified #our_everyday_moments #honestlymothering #motherhoodunplugged #letterboard #letterboardquotes #momlifeisthebestlife

  • Our kitchen needs some major TLC and I've been dreaming about all I want to do to it. One thing I really am considering is pulling down our main cabinet that holds our plates, bowls, and cups and put up open shelving like these ones I found in one of the #streetofdreamspdx homes that I toured a few months ago. ➕ Do you have open shelving? I'm so curious if you've found it a nuisance or love it as much as I imagine I would? 💭 . . . . #smmakelifebeautiful #howyouhome #doingneutralright #showmeyourstyled #mycovetedhome #heyhomehey #mybhghome #inmydomaine #houseandhome #modernhome #fixerupper #smpliving #hgtvmagazine #interior4all #ahomemadehome #prettylittleinteriors #apartmenttherapy #simplystyleyourspace #acraftedpassion

  • I hate to admit this out loud...but I killed my beautiful peace lily that was in the corner of our bedroom. I was doing so good keeping it alive, but then I was out of town at the beginning of the summer and Justin overwatered it and we could never recover it. ➕ I think I'm destined to have fake plants forever. 😭 Oh well. You win some, you lose some. 🤷‍♀️ ➕ Are you a plant lover or plant killer? Or maybe both? 🌱 ➕ By the way...my friend Erin over at @cleverbloom's brand new book comes out next week! Definitely check it out if you want to be a plant person. It has so much good info and cute projects (including a few projects you might recognize from my little ole' blog). Go check it out on her page or go to @houseplantclub and click the link in their bio. #houseplantclub . . . . . #diy #homedecor #tutorial #doityourself #diyproject #diyoffice #organized #wood #abmathome #modernhome #hgtvmagazine #mybhg #apartmenttherapy #sodomino #mywhitedecor #modernhome #moderndecor #hgtvmagazine #flashesofdelight #livethelittlethings #thehappynow
