What I'm Loving Wednesday

Happy Wednesday! I am so excited to bring you another installment of "What I'm Loving Wednesday" a weekly post that will list some things from the past week that I am loving, can't live without, on my wish-list, or are things I am plain obsessed with - and I will even add links (when applicable) so you can check out or scoop up anything you love too!

If you're new and haven't seen a WILW post before, here's a little about them: What I'm Loving Wednesday is one of my favorite ways for me to showcase some of my favorite products, tell about something fun that happened, show you what I'm crushing on, highlight some of my favorite blogs and Instagram feeds and a great way for you to find all kinds of great new products to buy or people to follow! I am so excited about What I'm Loving Wednesday and it is going to be a BLAST! I hope you will follow along! Today features a little bit about everything! Read all about what I'm loving this week below!

o n e | Nuby Step Stool
How cute is this little stool from Nuby?! Toddlers are always needing something to stand on to get those out of reach things and this step stool from Nuby fits the bill! It's super cute AND functional! Our daughter loves it for stepping up to get on the toilet (it was great for helping her learn how to potty train since she could easily get on there by herself with this), for washing hands and also for helping mom and dad in the kitchen (she's such a great kitchen helper)! And who says you can't use it as a toy, because she gets hours of entertainment out of flipping it over and sitting in it and pretending she's flying or driving a choo-choo train. Little ones imaginations are simply the best. I love that it has a grippy on skid top and the feet are also non skid, and it holds up to 800 lbs! The Nuby step stool can be purchased from Walmart and Amazon, and retails for around $15! Definitely a great addition to your home that will get lots of use! 


I'm just loving this cute little galvanized caddy?! I spied this over at FarmGirl Boutique recently and I just can't stop thinking about how perfect it would be for Bella's art supplies, crayons, markers, paints, colored pencils, and of course the long compartment for her coloring books and notebooks. Simply perfection and it's great for keeping her art supplies all organized while keeping them cute and farmhouse style. 
These arrived in the mail last week and I'm seriously smitten with them. I like the peach towel but I absolutely LOVE the mint one. The floral print is just so beautiful and the colors match my kitchen and mint/aqua color theme so well.


f o u r | Kids' Quilt - Relaxed Rainbow Stripe from Henry & Bros. Blankets
How sweet is this rainbow stripe blanket from Henry & Bros. Blankets? Bella love snuggling up in it and I absolutely love how soft it is (seriously one of the softest blankets ever). It's perfect for summer, whether you're having a picnic outdoors, a beach day, or your little one just wants to snuggle up in it, it's the best and softest blanket choice. It can even be used on your little one's bed as a comforter since it fits a twin size (and full sized) bed nicely! It's made from two layers of ultra fine 100% cotton double-layer cloth sewn together with a light polyester filling in-between them and is light enough to carry anywhere, plus it folds up into a small size when you go to store it. They have a ton of other super adorable prints and sizes as well so head on over and check them all out!


f i v e | Mikah Dress in Mauve from Gray Monroe
I recently came across this dress and knew I had to have it, mauve is quickly becoming one of my most favorite colors and this dress is one of the most comfortable I've ever worn. It's a loose fitting dress (I would suggest ordering down one size from your normal size since it's an over sized style dress) but it's oh so flattering, I love trying the front into a knot and also how doing that seems to add an extra dimension to the dress and makes it look even more flattering. If you're looking for a comfy dress this one of definitely it, I've been practically living in it since it arrived (shipping is super fast too btw) and it was perfect for traveling when we visited Missouri recently (nothing like a 12 hour car ride to make you want comfort haha). It also comes in blush, black, charcoal, black and white stripes, fruschia and of course this pretty mauve, just click the link above and type Mikah in the search bar to find all of the dresses, the mauve is also on sale so win-win!

Happy Wednesday!

Sugarboo & Co. Favorites


Seriously I couldn't love Sugarboo & Co. anymore if I tried. Their designs have been some of my favorite for practically forever, even before I knew who they were and spied their designs on Pinterest (that darling I love you wall art anyone, I'm sure you've seen it). Their designs are so lovely and unique and I knew I wanted to incorporate some of their pieces into our home, so when I spied the Sugarboo & Co. poetry sticks, it was love at first sight.

I've been working on redoing Bella's room for a few months now and this "Ah, life grows lovely where you are" one had me smitten, it fit perfectly for two reasons, one being that we are redoing her room in a more floral type theme, the other is because life seriously has grown so much more lovely since she has come along. She brightens our days with her laughter and smiles and seeing her bloom as she grows into a little lady is the sweetest thing. We added it into her room below another farmhouse sign we own and it's simply perfection, it adds such a unique touch to her room and it's fast becoming one of my favorites. These poetry sticks are perfect for adding some art and a personal touch to a space even if you don't have a lot of room, I think I want a couple more now (maybe another for her room and a couple for our master bedroom above our closet).



We are also loving these Hello Series melamine plates, we have the hello baby cakes, hello darling, hello buttercup, hello cupcake and hello love muffin ones and they're our absolute favorite for sweet treats and snacks. They're just so much fun to use and not to mention adorable (pretty sure they make the food taste even better since they're so cute). There are 10 different greetings to choose from (each more sweet than the last) and they're priced really reasonably at only $8 apiece! These make the perfect snack plates, dessert plates and breakfast in bed plates (I mean, who doesn't want to wake up to "hello baby cakes"?).

Sugarboo & Co. has so many more beautiful items and I'm hoping to add more of their art to our home over the years that come, here are a few of my very favorite pieces below.

one | two | three | four | five | six | seven | eight | nine | ten

I'm just loving all of these pieces (and pretty much everything on the Sugarboo & Co. website). Those throw pillow are perfect for Valentine's Day (or every day) and the Letter for you is my all time favorite (their first print I fell in love with), it's all just too good. Make sure to use code THEJOYFULTRIBE at checkout for 15% off a purchase (valid through May 16th, cannot be combined with any other offers) from Sugarboo & Co., and then head on over to @thejoyfultribe on Instagram this evening to enter the giveaway to win a poetry stick (single stick design only, US residents only) from Sugarboo & Co. for your own home!

Easy Room Style With Devine Color


If there's one thing I love, it recreating a space to make our more "our own" and more uniquely ours, I feel that that is something that is specially important no matter where you live, whether you own your home, or if you're like us and rent at the moment. For awhile I absolutely loved the plain white walls, I couldn't get enough of the stark white minimalism and the nothingness, but after almost two years of living here, my tastes started to change and transition to a more homey farmhouse style, I needed something different, something with character, something with texture and something on the walls. Lol.


So when I spotted this stick and peel wallpaper in the AT HOME group on Facebook (that was started by my sweet friend Kristyn Cole of the blog At Home with Kristyn Cole, if you're not already a part of it, you should totally join) and people were saying it was from Target, I was definitely intrigued. I immediately got on Target's website and started searching around and not only did they have the cutest stick and peel wallpaper, but OMG(!) THEY HAD WHITE SUBWAY TILE WALLPAPER! I've been dreaming of having a kitchen with white subway tile for a long time, and now that I have it, I love my little kitchen even more than before! It didn't have a back splash before, behind the sink and counter-top and stove were just plain white walls. My husband had helped me spruce it up behind the sink a few months ago by adding a little shelf (actually a spice rack from IKEA, but totally works for a cookbook nook) and also hanging my favorite white colander up, but I felt it needed something more. So a few weeks ago I took a few hours and installed a "subway tile" back splash! It looks so nice and you can't even tell that it's wallpaper and not real subway tile. My husband came home form work and was like "whoa! It looks so much nicer in here!", and I couldn't agree more.

Frank also helped me install the Devine Color white subway tile wallpaper on one wall in our dining room recently, it makes the room look so much bigger and we just love it! As most wallpaper is, it was a little tricky to install at first, there is a little bit of a learning curve and you have to get the hang go using it, but it doesn't take too long and once you figure it out, it's pretty simple overall. Cut, peel, stick, trim, repeat. Simple enough, and creates a new feel to any space! I also added it to the blank space above our shower in our bathroom recently as well and we're loving it.


We also just installed this this stick and peel wallpaper from Devine Color (available at Target, online and in stores) in our living room! It's a white washed wood plank look and oh so pretty! It really makes the space come alive behind the TV and makes a garet statement wall, we just love it and it has such a beachy look and also a very farmhousey look to it as well, it goes so perfectly with our farmhouse style furniture and decor.

If you're looking to change to look of a room for an affordable price, or you may rent your home and want to make it feel a little more "yours" this stick and peel wallpaper is the way to go!
