The Grand America Hotel, where Alt was located in SLC, has the cutest kids shop called JouJou. I got Ethan this Muscle Joe robot from Piperoid. We put it together last night. It already has a broken foot…:)

There are certain days where I find myself snuggled on my sofa with 2 to 4 blankets wrapped all around me. I love blankets and throws!! The Loaded Trunk has a great variety of beautiful blankets from around the world. Colorful and neutral, pick your favorite. I have my eye on that colorful stripe number.
Inspired and motivated is exactly how I feel after spending 4 days at Alt Summit. Being around so many talented people creates such momentum and excitement. From conversations about future collaborations to listening to some of this industries brightest talents. I have set a few pretty large goals upon myself this year, knowing that if I believe in myself, step out in faith and recognize that it’s a all about working with a community and NOT living on a boat for one, I can achieve those things.
On Thursday I spoke with Jenny, Emily and Morgan on The Ins and Outs of Interior Design Blogging. I seriously love these gals and walked away with alot of great points and ideas. I feel honored to have been included with them.
I also ADORED my roomies, Promise, Jasmine and Liz. These 3 might be taking over the world soon! I have made some incredible friends in this community that I am SO thankful for and grateful that they believe in me and vice versa. Oh and my travel partner/cousin and I had quite the journey home (missed flights, stuck in Denver, lost bags, ruined bags…you know, the usual) but being together made it a whole lot better!

Hi friends! I just got from Alt yesterday and I’m forcing my eyelids to stay open. (I’m praying my daughter wants to take a nap today.) I had a fantastic time and I’ll fill you in a little later.
I wanted to thank HGTV and Jeanine for featuring me on HGTV.com. You can check out my tip for storing winter gear here.
Hey Peeps! I hope that your week is going swell! I’m currently at Alt Summit. My throat is already sore from being a chatty cathy but every conversation is so fun and so worth it!
That handsomely talented husband of mine designed my business cards for me this year. I’m in love with them! What do you think??
See you on Monday!!!
Such a clean space to get things done or do nothing.
This beautiful girl holds a special place in my heart. She is very close to my family, watches my kids like they’re her own, sings beautiful songs at my church as well as with her super talented band, Hollowood, and blesses everyone around her with sweet encouraging words. Lyndsay Wright is like a modern day Pollyanna.
2 weeks ago this Thursday, Lyndsay was diagnosed with Leukemia at the young age of 19. Our hearts broke for a moment but because of her extremely strong faith, we have much hope for her complete healing and recovery. She is responding very well to chemo. Her doctors are really really pleased with her progress!
I invite you to follow her story here or here . And if you’re local, there will be a benefit concert on Lyndsay’s behalf this Friday, January 20th, at The Venue from 6-11pm.
We love you Lyndsay!
Where has my baby gone?? Ethan got “real” glasses last week and lost a tooth, all in the same day. He’s pretty proud of his glasses, which I’m so thankful for. I was worried that he wouldn’t be into them, but I was wrong! Speaking of the stud, I think that he would approve of this colorful map. What a great learning tool for a kids space. And how fun all are all of those bright colors?!
The Lili Lite is genius! It’s a reading light, bookmark and bookshelf combined into one smart product. A sensor turns off the light when an open book is placed on the shelf. When the book is picked up again, the light automatically turns on. Very cool.
It’s Friday! It’s Friday? Why must time fly so fast?! I’m pretty excited to be preparing for Alt Summit which is next week! I am speaking on the ins and outs of interior design blogging with Emily Henderson, Jenny Komenda and Morgan Satterfield. It’s going to be super fun. I’m just going to pretend that I know exactly what I’m talking about! 
Hope you have a fun weekend and I will see you next Monday!

Introducing the newest and most accessible addition to the Modern Playhouse collection. The Puzzle House, a modern playhouse, is made from sustainable and local maple plywood, requires no tools for assembly and can be set up for inside or out and easily stored in a compact space.
My kids have been begging for the Wedge Playhouse (bottom right). Any of their playhouses would look stylish in a home. You don’t have to worry about any cheesiness happening with these. They are pure modern beauties.
Tip 7- Pleasantly display your cleaning supplies.
Who says that your cleaning products need to be stored away, unseen. Display them as you would display accessories on a bookshelf. Place smaller items in jars, line bigger items in rows either color coordinated or by size. All of this will make cleaning just a little prettier.

I know that I am 11 days late on this, but still wanted to show you our Holiday card for this year. We usually do a Christmas card but wanted to change things up, and then the cards came in AFTER New Years so that really changed things up. The pictures were taken by talented Liberty Fleming and my husband designed the card. Anyways, Happy New Year from the Grove Family!!!
