hi friend

If you’ve ever felt like your days are full but your heart longs for more peace, more purpose, and more joy—you’re in the right place. I’m a wife and mom of five, learning to simplify life at home so that the things that truly matter have room to flourish.

Around here, we talk about homemaking rhythms, faith-filled motherhood, simple meals, and little shifts that make home feel lighter and life feel more joyful. Not because I have it all figured out (far from it!), but because I believe we don’t have to do this alone.

Think of this as your cozy corner of the internet—a place to exhale, grab some encouragement, and walk away with practical tools you can use right away. My hope is that when you leave here, you’ll feel inspired, equipped, and reminded that joy is possible in every season.

with joy,

Hey y'all meet my insta-friend Amanda! She and her family live in OKC. She's so much cooler than me... haha -and you're going to LOVE her style. Amanda is a wife and mom of 4. She used to work as a stylist for Hobby Lobby and now is a freelance home and product stylist. She is a fellow oiler and creator. Her diffuser tassels have made oilers every where LOSE THEIR MINDS!!!

I found Amanda while searching for dreamy diffuser blends when I first started oiling. She always had those amazing dreamy photos and a mid-century modern meets boho-styled home that you just longed to peek into. She has a knack for putting things together and thinking of something out of the box to do with an ordinary object. She is obsessed with house plants and DIYing. You'll be seeing a lot more of her crafty things on our blog in the days coming.

Don't you just love her style!?

Diffuser Decor

Today, I wanted to show you a peek inside how she decorates her diffusers! She shared these on her instastories. (Seriously, go follow her oily account too- MamaBird.Essentials NOW! You won't be disappointed.)

Amanda was first inspired by the fall diffuser decor when everyone started dressing their diffusers up as jack-o'-lanterns and such. Then it moved into this more sophisticated movement to take something completely out of the blue and put your diffuser in it or on it.

Here are few of the pieces she's found that she's recreated to turn her ordinary diffuser into something a little more magical and one-of-a-kind... Notice above the glowing basket. She removed her dessert mist diffuser dome and placed the base inside.
