I’ve started to see cleaning in a whole new light—less of a chore, more of an act of love. Instead of thinking about what needs to be ‘cleaned,’ I think about which space in my home deserves a little care today. As I go, I reflect on all that room brings to my family and feel gratitude for it. It’s a small mindset shift, but it’s made such a difference. Loving your home changes everything. Try it today—choose one room, show it some love, and see how it shifts your perspective. Let me know how it feels for you ..read more

Do you ever think about those early days? The time when you were just stepping into this life, figuring it all out? I’ve been reflecting lately, and I can’t help but wonder—what would I say to myself if I could go back? Honestly, I’d probably start with: “Hey, you don’t need to have it all together—no one does.” Or maybe: “Don’t wait so long to put yourself out there; those friendships are going to save you more times than you know.” And definitely: “Learn how to ask for help—it’s not weakness, it’s strength.” What about you? What would you say to that younger version of yourself? The one who ..read more

This space went from plain and mismatched to a moody, dark academia-inspired haven. The trick? Painting everything—walls, ceiling, and baseboards—the same deep, rich color. It might sound bold, but it creates a seamless, cozy vibe that feels intentional and totally unique. We know going dark can feel like a risk, but with the right textures, lighting, and a few personal touches, it can completely transform a room. You can see the entire episode on VetStreamTV! So, what do you think—would you try painting your walls and ceiling the same color? Let us know in the comments, or save this for your ..read more
