Alright, I know I’m the last person on the planet to jump on the whole “breakfast bowl” train, but… better late than never, right? I’ve always sipped my smoothies out of a boring, old cup until the last year when I started seeing everyone with these beautiful bowls full of smoothie + topping yumminess. I wondered what all the fuss was about, but now… NOW I get it.

I love whipping up a quick smoothie for breakfast or even for lunch when I’m swamped with work, but sometimes I just need to CHEW something. Something with texture. Something with crunch. That’s when a breakfast bowl comes in handy… it’s the same nutritious, delicious smoothie you’ve always had, just poured into big bowl, topped with whatever yummy toppings your little heart desires, and eaten with a spoon. Yay!

In honor of the beautiful fall weather we’re having here in Indiana this week, I’m making my first breakfast bowl on the blog a pumpkin-flavored one. A simple, healthy, pumpkin pie-inspired smoothie with homemade pumpkin spice granola. Okay… that’s actually TWO firsts for today. This is the first time I’ve made granola at home, and oh my gosh… why did I try this sooner? Super easy, way more delicious than the stuff you buy at the store, and you can customize it with whatever flavors you like. You can bet there will be a giant container of homemade granola sitting in my pantry at ALL times now. It’s so delish!

As you guys know, I’m partnering with the American Dairy Association Mideast this fall to share some dairy-inspired recipes here on the blog, and I’ll also be with them at the BlogHer Food Conference in Chicago later this week! ADA Mideast represents dairy farming families in Ohio and West Virginia, and they will have a booth in the Exhibition Area at BlogHer Food where you can learn more about milk’s amazing journey from the farm to your refrigerator.

We’ll also be serving some REALLY yummy snacks at the booth, so be sure to stop by, say hello and grab a few! Samples are limited, so don’t miss out! Here’s what we’ll have:

Dessert Pizza Pinwheels on Nov. 6th from 4 – 4:30 p.m.
Hot Ham and Swiss Dip + Honey Brie Bites on Nov. 6th from 6 – 7:30 p.m.
Cauliflower Mac and Cheese Bites on Nov. 7th from 4 – 4:45 p.m

In addition, we’ll have samples of Ohio’s best Swiss cheeses (did you know Ohio is the no. 1 Swiss cheese producing state in the nation?), AND you can leave your business card for a chance to win a Go Pro! Be sure to connect with ADA Mideast on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram for updates!

I still have no idea what I’m wearing to the conference and found a giant zit on my face this morning, BUT… I’m really excited to head to my home state on Thursday and catch up with lots of my blogger friends at the conference! Say a little prayer for me that I don’t trip and fall or say something completely embarrassing… it’s bound to happen, I’m sure!

Who wants to go shopping with me?! Well, virtuall Who wants to go shopping with me?!

Well, virtually... but I promise it will still be fun! I took a trip to a store I've never been to before and found some of the prettiest decor for such a good deal at @tuesdaymorning. #ad After all the snow we've had the last few weeks, getting out of the house and putting real clothes on for a solo shopping trip felt like such a treat!

A few of my favorite finds were: an extra-long lumbar pillow for my sofa, beautiful black textured bowls that I can't decide if I want to actually use in my kitchen or decorate with, a bouquet of dried greenery, and a new dog bed for Remington. I will be sharing how I styled these items on the blog next week, so stay tuned!

Swipe to see video of my shopping trip and all that you can find at a Tuesday Morning near you! Do you have a store close to you? Have you been before? Let me know in the comments!

So many ideas... so little time 🙃 Later this w So many ideas... so little time 🙃

Later this week: sharing a home decor shopping trip to a store I’ve never been to before, photographing my office (just wait till you see how big of a difference adding some shelves in here made), unboxing tons of new spring items for @lovegrowswildmarket, and adding some artwork to this blank wall!

Which are you most excited to see? P.S. still absolutely obsessed with the new dining chairs 😍

Yesterday I had a design meeting with one of my to Yesterday I had a design meeting with one of my toughest clients yet... my teenage son. 😂 Actually, he is probably the easiest person to please, and his requests for the upcoming bedroom makeover we are planning were pretty simple:

• blackout curtains so he can sleep in on weekends
• a new darker paint color
• somewhere to charge all his devices

I think I can handle that! This room is quite a challenge with the small size & layout, but I think we’ve come up with a game plan to make it more functional and much more “him”. 

Once I catch up on all my current projects and design work, I’m excited to dive into making this space perfect for him! P.S. where did my little boy go that wanted Thomas the Train as the theme in his bedroom? 🥺

Beachy cottage retreat... I think we got pretty cl Beachy cottage retreat... I think we got pretty close to perfect bringing this look into the Armstrong House (aka my sweet mom’s house)! What do you think?

One of the biggest challenges in this space was finding the right size furniture to maximize the small space & functionality without sacrificing design. She wanted to keep the house light, bright and airy while still feeling warm & cozy, and this feels like the right balance with soft whites & grays paired with wood tones & natural fibers. 

You can get all the details on this MASSIVE renovation & all the decor sources on the blog!

Too soon? Now that the snow is almost melted, I ca Too soon? Now that the snow is almost melted, I can’t help but daydream about what I’m going to plant this year, dinners out on the deck, and naps under the shade of the gazebo. The first glimpse of spring always reminds me how grateful I am for the little things and especially this cozy little house of mine.
