Sweet Nadia Sophie turned 13 last week and her request was a sleepover set up like Genevieve's 13th- but make it glam cowgirl. Challenge accepted! I used Genevieve's party as a template but swapped the whimsical canopies for a huge DIY Fringe garland, added lots of shimmer and disco balls, and lots of little themed details! Guys, this is my happy place. At the end I'll share a note about DIYing this set up plus the activities the girls enjoyed but let's start with some DIYs and details to look for in this fun glam cowgirl 13th birthday sleepover:
Have you heard of 'the 3rd piece?' Rather than stopping at jeans and a tee, layer on a unique jacket or bag (your basic black purse doesn't count!) to immediately look more polished. Walmart's fall fashion is perfect for this! They have so many cute jackets ringing in at under $40. You can see here that I kept my outfit the same and simply added a different jacket to create 3 entirely fresh looks. Which is your fave?!
We started this entry renovation in January. January! It's been slow moving- especially after tacking on a collaboration with Pella for our new front door. It's ironic that it was an afterthought to reach out to them considering the door completely MAKES the entry! We've refreshed the entry a couple of times but mistakenly focused on aesthetics rather than function. Fast forward and now it's beautiful and functional. Keep reading to see how we added beauty and function to our small entryway.

Who remembers my kids' DIY desk and homework nook? Yeah we kind of forgot about it too. ha. We'd let it get pre-tty messy and the chairs, though I loved them, never fit under the desk. Over time, the arms got damaged plus they stuck out a bit far into the walkway. It only took me 4 years to come across a pair of dining chairs I loved, that fit the look, and the budget! Here are our new chairs plus others from Walmart. I'm also sharing some you-won't-believe-the-price decor finds I have and love and I put together a design board for dining room inspiration- all from Walmart! Let's Go!

I spent some time with my niece recently and she has two cuties going back to school soon. I'm pushing aside the fact that I'm a great-aunt which is like a stone's throw from a grandma, and focusing on blessing my niece, who's a single mama, with back to school clothes for her kiddos. I have my crew to outfit too so I immediately shopped on Walmart for their affordable prices! My money goes so much further at Walmart and the style and quality are on point. Here's most of what I purchased!
