String of ANYTHING has been on my wishlist since I

String of ANYTHING has been on my wishlist since I started loving on all things plant related. Believe me when I say there was no way I was not bringing these home when I found them for BOGO $3.50. 😱 I’m still in a bit of denial. What are your thoughts on SOP and other string friends, love them or hate them? Or do you have another plant in your wishlist? 🌱Tips You Shared🌱
Light! Place them in front of a sunny window, direct light, (preferably south or west facing window) and let them soak up sun. Bonus points if the sides AND top of plant get sunlight!
Let them fully dry out between waterings.
When the leaf (pearl or banana, etc) wrinkles, it’s time to water.
Water from the bottom, not the top, and let them get a solid soak (think drought + flood).
And lastly, my favorite, don’t make eye contact. 🌱Hanging Details🌱
I have these hung with plant hooks right into the ceiling. One is in a stud, the other uses a drywall anchor to make sure they’re secure. I have them in bottom watering pots (they came with these, yay!), and they’re resting in some DIY macrame from our old, old house (remember those?!). No I didn’t use macrame cord, I made them with some butcher’s twine we had on hand. Tips or tricks not mentioned? I’m so nervous but so excited to give these guys a try!

Nine years today. Yeah! Good thing we got that fir

Nine years today. Yeah! Good thing we got that first date night out in over a year finally in last weekend… because today sick kiddos are calling the shots. Year nine celebration went like this:
Bail on concert tickets because we are too tired.
Take obligatory anniversary selfie.
Take pic of drinks + scenery.
Retake because I “didn’t get our rings in the shot.”
Take old lady pics of our table view, then have Eric make fun of me for being old.
Listen to Eric say “how about that 50 piece salad bar” like nine hundred times.
Start crying when the band sings a love song, then have Eric make fun of me. Don’t worry, the waitress came over right after so he had to explain that he didn’t do anything to make me cry, I’m just a wimp with sappy music and scenic views. 😂 Cheers to us dear!

The other day our oldest told me she can’t wait

The other day our oldest told me she can’t wait to grow up so she can do whatever she wants. I asked what she would do, and she said eat whatever she wants and go wherever she wants. Fair enough. I remember saying that exact thing as a girl. And I realized I do almost none of the “things” I said I would. Like buy a dang soft pretzel whenever I want. 😂 But @kwiktrip delivered, per usual, with their cream cheese stuffed soft pretzel, and it was GOOD. And I know, long time, no chat. I’m still here. Just had to step away from IG for a bit because mom life was calling my full attention. Our kinder is having a very hard time adjusting. She doesn’t like the busyness of it all. Doesn’t like the music the teacher plays at quiet time. Doesn’t like the swings at recess because they remind her of mom. And it especially didn’t help when last week we got a call from the school to pick her up because she fell and hurt her elbow. And she ended up needing x-rays. Luckily, not broken. This morning, I had to carry her on the bus and sit her on the seat while she cried and begged to stay home. And while I’m typing all this I’m realizing that people will probably judge me for all this. Should have dropped her off. Should pull her for homeschool. Should have done this. Should have done that. But you know what? That’s okay, because we all do things differently. And we all are trying our best. Oh… and also, we moved. 😳 More about that later, but for now here’s a peek of the new dining room. 😉 Also, plants. Because, well… plants. How are your kids adjusting to back to school? Maybe we all need a soft pretzel today. 😂😭

There are lots of things I do. But there are also

There are lots of things I do. But there are also lots of things I don’t do. I know it’s like prime tomato season right now in the Midwest but you better believe the tomatoes in my BLT are purchased from the store. 😂Gardening is a no for me, for now anyway. What’s something you say no to? #unfilteredswipe because you know I always say YES to a reset. But I also say NO to it mid day. Live in the chaos. Rest in the reset. I feel like that should go on a tshirt. 😂 Also, Baby Castanza now climbs on the bar stools. Which absolutely leads to climbing into the counter. Pray for me.

What are some of your favorite back to school trad

What are some of your favorite back to school traditions in your home? I suddenly am NOT ready for them to go back to school, so I’m trying to boost my spirits and get in the BTS spirit for the girls.😭 This weekend we did their back to school mani’s, one of our fave BTS traditions. And yes, Dazzle Dry is safe for kids! It’s hypoallergenic, nontoxic, and free of harmful, carcinogenic, and endocrine disrupting ingredients. It also does not contain reactive ingredients known to cause allergic reactions. Which is so awesome because we have some kiddos with sensitive skin in this house. So, basically, I have zero hold up on applying DD to their little nails! 🤩 Which is great because they love ALL the polish in ALL the colors. Rainbow order is a must over here. 🌈 Got a question on @dazzle_dry? Ask below and I’d be glad to help! Code HOUSEOFEILERS20 saves 20% off orders at checkout! #sponsored #dazzledry
