If you follow me on Instagram (@kailochic), then you may know that I spent last weekend visiting my friend at her new home. While there I was able to snap a few pics of her place and now I get to share those with you! Her home was a complete custom build. She picked out […]

This year marks the first year of real school for my eldest. She will be entering Kindergarten in roughly 10 days, and is oh so excited. This is the beginning of many back to school traditions for us and I can’t wait to share in her excitement. We have already done the school supply shopping […]

It’s national s’mores day today! And tomorrow is my birthday, so I am celebrating with some homemade mint marshmallow s’mores. Last week I saw the awesome rainbow tie dye marshmallows on Studio Diy and thought they looked like so much fun, so I whipped up a batch for the kids. That got my imagination going and […]

Last week I finally picked up a bag of frozen dragon fruit (or Pitaya) to try in some smoothies. It was actually quite good and the kids loved the bright pink color. And so did I if I am being honest! Then, this past weekend, my daughter and I tried our hand and some ice […]

So apparently this week is all about the ombre. I have had these fun perler bead wall hooks under the works for a few weeks (just needed time to finish them up), and it just happens that they were ready this week. So after this I you may be ombre-d out, but they are cute, […]

Today’s home tour is all about our guest bedroom. In addition to its main purpose as a space for our guests to stay, it also serves as the catch all and staging area for my blogging and home decor props as well as other items (like our piano) that don’t have a place elsewhere in […]

This weekend didn’t turn out to be as productive as I had hoped, but I did have fun hanging out with family and friends, so it wasn’t bad. And I actually managed to complete one of the projects on my never ending list of home project ideas. I painted my stair risers ombre! My husband […]

Of all the breakfast foods, waffles seem to be the most versatile. Sure you can eat them with plain old maple syrup, but why would you when the possibilities are limitless? In the past I have made waffles shaped like Christmas trees, Santa, and even a Ninja Turtle. I have also made some pretty tasty […]

Do you remember those fun little spin art machines from when you were a kid. I loved to spend all day spinning and dropping paint onto the pieces of paper. I recently came across a Melissa and Doug brand spinner set at Home Goods (like this one here), and I knew that I needed it […]

Yesterday I showed you the before photos and all the details on how we remodeled our kitchen. You can see that post here. And now it is time for the after shots!  My favorite part of our new kitchen is the large island. The white quartz counter was a splurge, but I think it helps […]

Tomorrow’s home tour post will be all about our kitchen. This was the space that I knew I wanted to renovate into my dream kitchen as soon as we moved in. I was able to use some of the extra money from the sale of our old house to use towards our kitchen reno. But […]

I have recently (as in this week) jumped on the smoothie bowl bandwagon. I am not sure how long this interpretation of smoothies has existed, but I am all for it. If you remember back a few years, I had a recipe for a belly fat fighting smoothie that I topped with oats and walnuts […]
