Tuft and Needle Review

I'm slowly but surely becoming more adult-ish (with the exception of the above photo). When you find yourself looking for a new mattress, you know you've entered adulthood. As someone who can only function after a good night's sleep, I knew I needed a quality mattress! I had no idea how expensive they are though, not to mention how bulky and inconvenient most are. Enter: Tuft and Needle. A twenty-something girl's mattress dream come true! 

How To Style Your TV Stand or Console Table

A few months ago, I finally found a TV stand that had all of the requirements I had been looking for for years!  Of course, Homegoods was where I found it.  That place never lets me down.  I was looking for a tv stand that would have shelving I could decorate rather than cabinets that close, a grey wood finish and rustic look, and a large enough size that would allow me to make it my own!  After barely fitting into TJ's suv, we got home and it sat in our living room for weeks before deciding what I wanted to put on the shelves.  

Valentine's Day Inspired Bar Cart

 I love holidays.  Some holidays definitely have more meaning than others but I just find joy out of any holiday.  An occasion to celebrate with others is one of my favorite parts of life and I won't let a holiday pass without taking full advantage of the festivities! I decided to clean my bar cart the other day that had been covered in dust.  After it was all clean and sparkly, I figured I would go ahead and decorate it for the upcoming holiday, Valentine's Day, because why not.  It made me realize that I have a lot of random faux florals laying around my house and also an enormous assortment of paper straws that I most likely will not actually use (but they look so very cute!).

Gifts for Moms

Today is my favorite woman's birthday so I thought I'd do a post about gift ideas for your mom, grandma, bff, etc.  I love treating my mom to a great gift because there is no other person who has done SO much for me.  If anyone deserves a special day, it's moms and dads. I like to give a really thoughtful gift, something I know she would love but maybe wouldn't ever find herself.  Personally, my mom loves cooking, wine, turquoise, running, and working in the yard.  One of my favorite gift ideas lately is this state cutting board from A Heirloom where you can find ANY state shape.  These would be a great wedding gift too! Shop the links below if you're on the look out for a gift idea.

Oh! Today I am also taking over the instagram account, @TheBlogBaton! This is an account where a different blogger holds the "baton" each day so you can get to know a little bit more about them.  The girl who started it, Mason, from the blog Mason...Like The Jar has one of the cutest blogs I've ever read and is from Raleigh, NC! Anyways, follow along today @TheBlogBaton!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY MOM! I love you! Thanks for being the best friend and mom a girl could ask for!
