Making Time for Family Dinner

I've partnered with Idahoan on this sponsored post and all opinions stated are my own. #SignatureRussets

Good morning! Let’s talk family tradition. :) We always have a big Sunday dinner with all the fixings' right after church. Usually we have a main dish like roast or chicken, rolls that have been rising on the stove & several side dishes to go along with that. Unfortunately, week days don’t always leave as much time to cook a big family dinner, but we do like to carry on the tradition of eating dinner together as a family. That’s why I love using a few short cuts (like Idahoan Signature Russets Mashed Potatoes) to make quick & delicious weekday meals. Idahoan potatoes help make every meal taste like Sunday. In addition to letting you know about these new potatoes from Idahoan, I’ll be sharing some tips on Making Time for Family Dinner. Let’s get started!

12+ Ways to Add Texture to Your Home

This post has been compensated by Frette.com. All opinions are mine alone.

Hello! Good morning! I’m loving the industrial farmhouse look that is so popular right now. I really love all the neutral colors that accompany it, too. My only reservation about this trend is that if you’re not careful everything can kind of blend together & become a little bit boring. Blah! We don’t want that! ha! One way to get around that & still keep that nice clean, soothing color pallet is to add texture to your home! Texture makes it interesting & gives your home tons of visual appeal.  Today I’d love to share 12+ Ways to Add Texture to Your Home. Let’s get started!
