3 states, 2 shows, 1 unforgettable summer. Althou 3 states, 2 shows, 1 unforgettable summer.

Although it's still in the 90s here in Texas, summer's officially over. So I thought I'd bid adieu by looking back.

I'm so thankful for the places I visited, the people I met, and lessons I've learned.

Let me know one fun thing you did this summer!

2 TOOLS WE USED TO GROUT: First, I used a float f 2 TOOLS WE USED TO GROUT:

First, I used a float for most of the #backsplash . But using the premixed #grout + the bevels made it hard to get between the tiles.

When it came to the edges, we used our fingers. It just worked better for us.

In conclusion, JUST USE WHAT WORKS. The grout instructions didn't say to use your fingers, but we did. 🤷🏾‍♀️

Do you use painter's tape or do you free hand?

If you're ever a guest in my home, just know that If you're ever a guest in my home, just know that I got you on all fronts -- no questions asked!

I hide things in plain sight often so that people don't need to feel embarrassed to ask for personal items.

Plus, storage in water closets can be kinda tricky. I got rid of my over the toilet storage cabinet and opted for floating shelves. The basket helps to add another bathroom storage solution to the room! (I got a new blog post about that topic...link in bio.)

Do you struggle with bathroom storage? LMK in the comments!

Also, do you have an auntie who cleans out your stash every time she visits? Or is that one just me? 🤭🤣

My mom's plant is still alive some 2 years and 9 m My mom's plant is still alive some 2 years and 9 months later.

I decided it was bout time to put her plant in an attractive pot to hang there all cute and whatnot. It hasn't grown much in the last almost 3 years, but growth wasn't really the goal. 

The goal was just to keep it alive since many pieces of it were struggling at one time. To keep the pests from eating away at what was left.

I guess the plant has been imitating my life.
