It’s finally here. The end of summer. And to be honest... I’m not ready! ⠀
⠀
Although I don’t love the Texas heat, I love being able to spend time with my family outdoors. My kids love to spend most of their time by the pool. Seeing the joy on their faces while splashing around, especially while living in unfortunate circumstances, is heart warming. I’m really hoping that we will be able to enjoy summer next year but until then... ⠀
⠀
Goodbye Summer!⠀

Online learning has taken on a new meaning in 2020

Online learning has taken on a new meaning in 2020. As parents, we have had to make choices that we never imagined having to make. We’ve also taken on responsibilities that may not come naturally to us or that challenge the schedules that we are so used to. ⠀
⠀
Know, however, you are not alone. We are all in this together, learning and growing as individuals and as parents. Just remember, this is not forever, this is just a season.⠀
⠀
Head to the blog (link in bio) to see what things my husband and I are learning in our new normal with online learning. #onlinelearningday

In life there are always ups and downs. The good times are great, but it’s when we are struggling that so much more is needed. The things that inspire us can lift us up. It can spark a fire in us that keeps us pushing towards reaching our goals. We can find inspiration in just about anything...⠀
⠀
A Special Memory. Dreams for Our Future.⠀
⠀
These things motivate us to reach our full potential, knowing that this is only a season. There are more good times ahead. ⠀
⠀
Where do you find your inspiration? ⠀

The recent support of Black owned businesses natio

The recent support of Black owned businesses nationwide and worldwide has been such a beautiful site. I want to help continue this practice by shining the light on a few Black owned home decor brands. I've put together a mood board featuring home decor products from Black owned businesses. Head over to my stories to also shop these products and support these Black businesses. ⠀

I love creating pieces that enhance a room’s design while providing great functionality. When I noticed an unused corner of my home office, I had the idea of creating a woven bench that would add some personality to the office. If you missed it, I got the chance to partner with @homedepot creating a DIY Workshop at home, to show you all the process of creating a woven bench from start to finish. I just love the way it turned out!⠀

While it's still pretty warm here in Texas, September is here, which means fall is around the corner and I'm getting ready. Keeping it simple with soft throw blankets and textured pillows throughout our home for the new season. ⠀

What do you think - Is it too soon to break out the fall decor?⠀

With working from home becoming the rule and not the exception, it was time to give my home office an extreme makeover. Adding functional pieces wherever possible was the most important detail in our home office. ⠀

I’m excited to partner with @HomeDepot for their DIY Workshop Series to create a woven bench that is both stylish yet functional. ⠀

Hope it inspires you to create a woven bench for yourself! #THDxDIYWorkshops #homedepotpartner Video + Editing: @imagesbyangela

Storage was the biggest pain point in my home offi

Storage was the biggest pain point in my home office. There just wasn’t enough of it! Not finding the type of storage I wanted, I decided to design a custom built-in cabinet that covered the entire span of my wall! 😳⠀
⠀
It turned out to be the best investment! Not only does it look great in the space (and as a focal point near the entrance of my home) but has enough storage to keep everything organized and easy to find. ⠀
⠀
Take a look at my latest blog post for all the storage details and how it all came together. ⠀
