Homemaking + Tips for the Modern Stay at Home Mom

and establish a beautiful legacy.

MEET olivia

Hello friend!

I’m Olivia! A stay at home mama to 3 sweet girls; Evelyn, Veda Rose and Esme. We’ve made our home in little town in North Georgia.

On a typical day you can find me tending to the kids, cleaning, or if the weather is nice, you can find us outside soaking in the sunshine. With 12+ years of motherhood and homemaking under my belt, this space is dedicated to assisting other SAHMs on their journey through the proverbial “trenches”. You can live an intentional life and actually enjoy this season you’re in.

My goal is to help you see the light and appreciate the magic while you’re living it, not only in hindsight.

We truly are the lucky ones!

Haven’t posted an update in a while…. We have dryw Haven’t posted an update in a while…. We have drywall! Finally! šŸ¤— also brought some of the kids’ outdoor play things so they have something to do while we’re out there. Just having their swings in the yard really makes it feel more like home. šŸ” 
We had to wait on several things and had a few delays at the beginning of the summer which put everything on pause for a few weeks. Now it seems like everything is happening at once. 
Among other things, interior paint starts this week; swipe to see a couple of colors I was considering. Paint is hard. 

This week they’re working on finishing front and back porches, metal roof went on, interior prime and painting, cabinets will be delivered Friday, and might start on some of the tile flooring. 

Next week: cabinets installed, trim arrives, interior doors, and should start on tile flooring. I’m so excited to be getting to the fun part and seeing everything go in. I will make a solid effort to share more moving forward. No promises though 🫠
House updates from last week! The shingle roof was House updates from last week! The shingle roof was installed…right after we got rain for the first time in months šŸ˜… so our house resembled a pond for a few days until it all dried out. 
The front porch was also framed last week. Framing felt like it took forever for us but they’re finally done and we’re moving on! 
This week the windows were delivered Monday and have all been installed now, rough plumbing is ongoing, HVAC rough-ins and cabinets were measured. It’s moving right along ! ā˜ŗļø

The last two framing photos are where they left off Friday evening. Basement done āœ”ļø main floor walls are up āœ”ļø started on the floor of the second level. No photos yet from this week’s progress. 

The last photo is a rendering from our house plans with poorly photoshopped front door and porch trim. 

Hopefully we’ll be under roof by next week! šŸ¤žšŸ¼

I’ve found that the Pinterest options are completely overwhelming and keep going back to my favorite books when I need to make a decision. Notice all the marked pages šŸ«£šŸ“š 
Anyone else feel this way about Pinterest? Information overload. I need simplicity!

I’ll set it aside and forget about it for months at a time but when I come back to it, I’m always glad that I did. 
Do you have any books on your shelf that are like that? One that you find yourself coming back to time and again, and it feels like having coffee with an old friend? If so, please share so I can check it out too! šŸ“š
