Laundry Room Refresh

Check out our Laundry Room Refresh! We’ve lived in our home for 6 years now and I FINALLY got around to making this space more organized and functional. As a family of 6, you can imagine the infinite amount of laundry I am constantly bombarded with. AND….I have to look straight into this room when leaving our primary suite. Let’s just say, I couldn’t handle the chaos of this disaster room any longer! Check out our laundry room refresh below!

Our Laundry Room Refresh

When we first moved in, Neil and I installed white cabinets and a narrow shelf above the washer and dryer. We thought that would be enough to handle ALL THE THINGS. Over time, we realized, this house really had zero storage and we would have to get creative to bring that into our home! if you have followed me for a while, you may have seen on Instagram, that our dryer caught fire 7-8 months ago. Once we replaced both the washer and dryer, I decided it was also time to start thinking about refreshing this space!

I always wanted a butcher block counter top in our laundry room and now with these new GE front load appliances, I could finally make that happen! Luckily, I have a very handy hubby who goes along with all my ideas! I also enlisted the same company who did our primary closet, to install a floor to ceiling linen cabinet to add more storage (you can see that transformation, HERE) I could not be happier with the outcome! I added links to all the items I’m using in the room. Take a peak at our laundry room refresh!

Disneyland 2026 🙌🏻 I made it ya’ll. Definitely sore, and fatigued and sleep deprived and the back pain is insane. But I did it. 🤣

I debated jumping on the bandwagon to share my 2016 throwback. In all honesty, 2016 was the hardest year of my life. It’s something that I’m reminded of daily in this never ending cycle of chronic pain and illness. For those that are new here, in 2016 I underwent 3 surgeries within 4 days. My 14 level spine surgery consisted of 2 surgeries going through my back and side, and then I needed an emergency bowel resection 3 days later due to my colon twisting and flipping on itself. When I woke up from my spine surgery, I immediately moved my right foot and tried to then move my left. It turned out, they knicked my spinal cord and damaged it. I had no feeling in my left leg or foot. Didn’t know if I was moving it and it felt like nothing was there. I remember immediately panicking and because I still had a tube in my mouth, they gave me a paper to write down what was wrong. Drs came in and told my husband and I that they weren’t sure if I’d walk again and definitely sure I wouldn’t be dancing. I lost 25 lbs, a Picc line was put in to try and get me any nutrition. I threw up bile in bucket after bucket.I didn’t see my kids for 3 1/2 weeks and then had to be moved to a nursing facility. Once home, I had nurses and PT that would come to our house because staying in that facility and not seeing my kids drove me insane (my youngest was only 17 months old). Neil had to shower me, and wipe my butt 🙈. I went through 18 months of PT pushing myself to prove them all wrong. When I think about the last 10 years (and 2016 in particular), it has been a nonstop uphill battle for me. During that same year, we learned that both our daughters would then be diagnosed with the same thing. This is why I keep pushing forward no matter how I feel mentally or physically. I need to show these kids that mama can handle it and I want them to remember how strong I’ve tried to be because some day they may be faced with this same decision. I played this song on repeat laying in the hospital.Continued in the comments…..

Who has already started #springcleaning in January 🤣 I don’t know what it is, but as soon as I put all the Christmas Decor away, I have the urge to get rid of things and clean. We currently have a dumpster in front of our house that I decided go get on a whim 😅

A glimpse at the kids loft tree. This is the one they decorate by themselves and have free reign. We call it the food tree….it matches our retro fridge in the background 🤣

SAVE THIS RECIPE! These Ham and Gruyere Hand Pies are SO SIMPLE to make and DELICIOUS 🙌🏻 These make for a fun brunch/lunch idea and will be loved by all.

You can even use that leftover ham from the holidays to make these too!•preheat oven 400 (this will bake for 15-20 min)•puff pastry cut into 12 equal sizes•leftover Holiday ham for the win•gruyere cheese (Swiss or brie work too)•Dijon mustard•egg brushes on the topMake sure to use your fork around the edges to push the two pieces of pastry together for when it cooks. Cut a few small knife holes in the top to prevent bubbling. Enjoy! #handpie #puffpastry #puffpastryrecipes #forthoveofmeat
