Things are nice to gift, but if the guy you’re buying for is anything like me or the men I know, don’t underestimate a night out at the movies or their favorite restaurant/food. With that, it’s always nice to have some items up your sleeve for Christmas and other occasions. Here are some of my personal favorite things to help guide or spark ideas.

When it comes to our home, the living room and specifically the mantle is the centerpiece of the entire home. We have a really open floor plan, and you can pretty much see the fireplace from every room on the main level. So when it comes to decorating it, it's a high priority for setting the tone.

Ever since moving into our house, we have loved hanging out in our backyard. After, 2020 we really put a lot of work into making the space even more comfy and fun for the kids.

With spring in full swing and summer not far behind, now is the perfect time to revamp your outdoor space. Whether you have a lush green yard, a shaded patio or even an urban balcony, transforming your space into your dream outdoor oasis is easier than you might think!

It's been a minute since I've given you an update on our home and boy do I have a treat for you guys with a nice master bathroom refresh.

We got to celebrate Jetton's fourth birthday with a Lego-themed party with our family. It was pretty simple, but he still had the best time.

It was our second time visiting Jekyll Island, and it was just as magical as we remembered it. Last time we visited, I was carrying around a four month old baby and it was the peak of summer. This time, we decided to visit in the winter with two big boys.

The perfect gift guide for the kids - kinetic sand, battery-operated dino tracks, and so much more.

The perfect gift guide for the girl in your life - the best toiletry bag, my favorite Stanley Quencher, and so much more.

The perfect gift guide for the guy in your life - a pizza oven, flat top grill, and so much more.

The perfect experience gift guide. Receiving "things" has it's place, but from our experience, do things together has always been the best gift that keeps on giving.

Ever since Jettson was about six months we thought he was such a cute little Gus Gus. We actually started calling him Jett Jett because of that. Since my boys are about to be at the age where dressing up as mice won't be as fun anymore, we decided to go full out for the Cinderella thing.

One of the most beautiful, peaceful, and luxurious glamping experiences we've had. I'm no camper so Georgia glamping is right up my alley!

I don't mean to be sappy, but sunsets at the beach bring me back to being pregnant with our rainbow baby five years ago.

On our way to the beach last month we decided to stop by Columbus, Georgia to break up the drive. It was the cutest little river town!

Last month, we had the opportunity to sneak away for a last-minute vacation with my parents. To be honest, the week before was brutal, and the vacation could not have come at a better time.

Our living room has definitely evolved from when we first moved in almost ten years ago. I feel like my style has really become more established over the past three years though. I guess you could call in organic transitional modern. I love earthy and organic tones mixed with clean lines and modern touches. I am also a huge fan of mixing more traditional pieces with modern pieces. Throw that all together and you have organic transitional modern.

Homeschooling, Virgin River, the best dairy-free ice cream, and a few great fashion finds.

I am teaming up with Wayfair for a little living room refresh this month. I've had some things on my to-do list to spruce up the place a little bit.

It's our second year of homeschooling for preschool and the first year for Kindergarten. I had no idea how much I would love it when we initially started. I never even imagined myself homeschooling until about a year and a half ago and am so happy that I pushed into that feeling to try it.

I can't believe we are halfway through summer. I blinked and it's July. I thought I'd do a fun summer favorite's round-up on some of the things I've been loving lately.

Some of our favorite Father's Day gift ideas in a variety of cost-conscious categories.

Seven random thoughts and things as we kick off the summer in the Schneider household.

I'm excited to share my most recent chat with Wayfair and bring you some tips, trends, and inspiration for a bathroom refresh.
