One of my favorite places to be: Our DIY bathroom

One of my favorite places to be: Our DIY bathroom had such a glow up and I finally got the blog posted! (Had to wait so I didn’t steal GH magazine thunder!🙌🏾)

Head to annamaegroves.com for all the details (link in bio) like the before and afters, and step by steps to how I did the shower and painted the tile. Plus links to errrrrthang including this beautiful wallpaper by @livetteswallpaper!

Have you tried peel and stick wallpaper yet? It was my first time, and it definitely won’t be my last. 😊 (oh and remember to grab a copy of goodhousekeeping when you’re at the store!)

it’s the past we step into and how we repair it.”

In August, a magazine reached out wanting to feature my DIY’s. From that moment until just a couple of days ago, I have not stopped thinking, “But...why me?” And, “So-and-so deserves this so much more than I do.”

But you know what? I’m not gonna let ME steal my joy over this anymore.

What I know for sure is this: Today there are 7 whole pages in GOOD HOUSEKEEPING MAGAZINE filled with the DIY’s in my home. 😭

Thank you to the Senior Home Editor of @goodhousekeeping, @moniquevaleris who thought the story of our home was worth telling- she did such a beautiful job telling it.

I hope it will help you see the potential of DIY in YOUR homes, friends.

And the next time you get a blessing for what seems (to you) like no good reason at all, and you start to find yourself questioning why, STOP. It doesn’t matter why. You got a blessing. Just go on and enjoy it! God is enjoying it, too.

Oh, and if you get an issue, tag me! That would be so much fun to see you with yours! 😭

And here’s the finished look! I hope you

HAPPY 18th BIRTHDAY TO MY 3rd man-child, Jaren!! Always jumping in to help and never complaining- one of the most thoughtful people you’ll ever meet. AND the pics you see on here? He’s usually the one behind the camera. So so proud of my son. 🖤

SAVE this post: I started eating paleo over 5 year

SAVE this post: I started eating paleo over 5 years ago because I lost both my mom and aunt to cancer- a disease that thrives in inflammation. Paleo eating is all about feeding our bodies healthy, anti-inflammatory foods. #sponsored

With all the stress we’ve been through, 2021 is the time for treating our bodies well! You can easily sub better-for-you ingredients, and it doesn’t need to be expensive. @aldiusa has high-quality, affordable paleo choices, and they make it fast and easy.

SWIPE for a screenshotable list of paleo subs you can make right now to FEEL and look your best! Things like:

❌ Refined granulated sugar
✅ Specially Selected 100% Pure Maple Syrup, coconut sugar or raw honey

❌ Processed, gluten-filled sweets, like cookies or doughnuts
✅ Delicious paleo Simply Nature Coconut Cashew Crisps

❌ Vegetable, soybean, corn, safflower, or canola cooking oils (full of inflammatory trans fats, omega 6’s, cancel out omega 3’s, oxidize when heated)
✅ Avocado oil, Coconut oil, Extra virgin olive oil, or Ghee

Center eating around whole, real foods: vegetables, fruits, fish, eggs, nuts, seeds and organic meats. Have you tried eating a paleo diet? It changed my life!

Head up to my stories to see a few of my @aldiusa favorites - super affordable, high-quality paleo ingredients! #ALDILove

Please understand. Me on my kn

Please understand.

Me on my knees relying on Jesus- the author and finisher of my faith...

Me calling upon the Alpha and Omega....

Me doing what Jesus said to do and casting my cares upon Him...

Me searching scripture for peace and encouragement and landing on the words of Jesus: “In this world you will have trouble, but take heart- I have overcome the world”...

Me doing the hard thing- stopping the spiral and keeping my heart turned to the One who sees the beginning from the end....

Does not equal me turning a blind eye...

Does not mean that I didn’t cry bitterly...

Does not mean that watching people being kindly escorted down the stairs didn’t make me feel jealous...

or witnessing people gently having their eyes flushed with bottles of water didn’t make me draw comparisons....

or seeing protestors being greeted with smiles and selfies didn’t cause the question, “Why do they hate us so much?” to spill from my lips.

It simply means that when things go badly- despite my tears, anger, jealousy and feelings of hopelessness...

that I die to myself and seek the only One who has the final word. I let Him bandage my wounds -so I can go and help bandage someone else’s.

Lord, let the bandaging take place.
John 14:27

Well, at least we clean up good. 😂 Swipe for the before (of me 😳and the plant 🌱) and the horrifying discovery I made - SCALES on my umbrella plant (thankful it was only one plant!). After googling, I found out they weren’t dirt, but actual CREATURES 😭😩. Alas, it looks like we are good. And best believe- I did it all so save this and follow these steps if you ever get them:

Take plant to the shower (or outside if it’s not freezing outside).
1. Alcohol -wipe down every single leaf and stem with a saturated cotton pad to dissolve and remove- and don’t forget the undersides of the leaves!
2. Repeat until you think you got em all. (I used a new pad for each branch)
3. Mix 1 teaspoon of neem oil, 1 teaspoon of Dawn and 16 oz of filtered or distilled water in a spray bottle
4. Spray down plant with neem oil soap mixture - saturate it! Wipe down every part with a paper towel. Rinse and repeat.

Oh- and I know I could have just thrown it out. But I’m a plant PARENT and plant parenting isn’t always easy and glamorous! PLUS my epic plant mom mama, Glenda Kay would be watching from Heaven with the biggest side eye of all time if I didn’t try to save this plant. 😂 Some of her plants are older than me and outlived her, so when in doubt, I do as my mama did! 🌱 🪴

New Year, New Nails 💅🏽 Decided to try a little art with my @oliveandjune Obsessed and HZ and it took me wayyy too long 😂. Sooooo did you guys take down the tree yet? Are you a Jan 1, week 1, or is your tree gonna stay up til 2022? I didn’t want to throw away those dehydrated oranges. You should not keep them more than a year (think sugar, pests, disintegration, moisture, and all the things that could go wrong 😬) and no one is gonna want to eat those dusty things, so I’m sharing what I’m doing with them in stories. See you there!
