Day 10 of Whole30 and while parts of this have been hard, adjusting to a new routine, meal planning, making separate meals for my kids, skipping restaurants, etc. 😅…it has also been incredibly eye-opening. ✨

More than anything, I’ve realized exactly where my cravings live: a sweet drink or treat 🍫🥤 and a few salty snacks 🥨. It’s been surprisingly hard not to reach for those things. Dang habits! 🤪

Days 7-8 were definitely the hardest for me for some reason. I felt like I could not stay full, was constantly craving sugar and carbs 🍞🍪, and honestly started to feel discouraged because I still had not noticed a real difference in my gut. I was still feeling super bloated. 😩

But then I read that this can actually be really normal when you switch to eating more fiber, fruits, and vegetables 🥦🍎. Your body needs time to adjust, and sometimes that adjustment can temporarily make the bloating worse before it gets better.

But today…I woke up feeling noticeably less bloated, less inflamed, and for the first time I could actually see a visible difference in my stomach. 🙌🏼

So while I still have a ways to go, I’m feeling encouraged to keep going and hopeful that I’ll finally get some answers. 🤍

In the meantime, I’m learning new ways to make my afternoon drink still feel a little indulgent, because apparently that 3pm treat is deeply embedded in my soul. ☕️🤣

Maybe this is your sign to slow down a little.

To open the windows. To make the dinner. To sit with your cup of tea a little longer instead of rushing on to the next thing.

The older I get, the more I realize that the life I was always chasing was never found in having more. It was hidden in the ordinary things right in front of me: an old house full of creaky floors, dinner around the table, a quiet corner, and the kind of everyday moments that make a life feel full.

I’m Tessa, and around here I share the beauty of making a home, romanticizing the ordinary, and creating a life that feels rich in all the ways that matter.

If that sounds like your kind of corner of the internet, I’d love for you to follow along. 🤍

For a long time I thought success meant doing more, having more, becoming more. But the older I get, the more I find myself wanting a quiet, meaningful life that feels true. One where I love Jesus, create beauty wherever I am, raise good humans, and build a home full of stories.

If you’ve been feeling the pull to slow down and live a little more against the grain... you’re not alone. 🤍

Standout pieces, thoughtfully chosen ✨
This week’s Home & Style edit is all about effortless staples that elevate your everyday—timeless textures, easy layers, and pieces that feel as good as they look. The kind you reach for again and again, whether you’re refreshing a space or getting dressed for real life in motion.

#LTKBeauty #LTKHome

A dream of a coffee table scored on marketplace!

#LTKHome

I’m Tessa. Mom to four, professional over-committer to cozy, collector of old things, and fully convinced that romanticizing your life is the fastest way to contentment… no matter where you live.

I believe in too many shelves, afternoon light, lived-in homes, and saying yes to one more beautiful thing even when it means more to clean later. Joy first, consequences second 🤍

If you feel personal seen while just reading this … let’s be friends!

I was trying to figure out how to give our old headboard new life because honestly…it had gotten downright gross 😅

So I started looking for a new one and nearly fell over. Every headboard I loved was somewhere between $1,500-$4,000 and there was just no way.

Then one day I looked over at this $19 Amazon tablecloth I’ve had for years, the one that somehow gets softer and prettier with every wash, and thought…what if I just covered the headboard with it?

One impulsive thought later and suddenly the bed was apart, I had a staple gun in my hand, and there was no turning back 🤪 That’s usually how things go around here.

And honestly? It ended up being one of my favorite projects we’ve ever done. It gave our bedroom so much more character, saved us thousands, and was shockingly easy.

Make sure to follow along to get more home inspo!

Effortless, everyday pieces I reach for on repeat 🤍
These are the kind of staples that make getting dressed feel simple—go-to denim, easy tees, and those finishing touches that pull it all together without overthinking it.

Think: lived-in jeans, soft layers, classic accessories, and everything that works just as well for slow mornings at home as it does for stepping out. The pieces you build a wardrobe around, season after season.

Linking my tried-and-true style basics and current favorites here ✨

I am truly the least qualified person to give houseplant advice… and yet somehow this grape ivy has decided to thrive in spite of me 🤪

I brought her home from my favorite nursery two years ago and have basically done everything wrong ever since. Same pot, no new soil, no plant food, and a deep water about once a month if I remember 😬

And somehow? She’s quadrupled in size.

So when I found this oversized pot at HomeGoods, I figured she had at least earned an upgrade. New pot, fresh Miracle-Gro soil, and she is absolutely loving her new home.

Also, my husband knows my love language. A cold Poppi while I repot plants = true romance ☺️

If your plants are also surviving purely on vibes and neglect…welcome, you’re among friends. 🌿

If you’re the kind of girl who romanticizes curtains dancing in an open window, turns all the lamps on at 6pm, believes a home should feel collected instead of perfect, and finds joy in the smallest, most ordinary things... hi, I think we’d get along.

I’m Tessa. I live in a creaky old house with my husband and our four kids, and around here we spend our days creating beauty in the ordinary: slow mornings, home-cooked meals, old things, soft light, and rooms that feel lived in and loved.

#RomanticizeTheOrdinary #LivedInHome #CozyHomeVibes #SlowLivingLifestyle #HomesWithHeart

For so long, I thought contentment would come when life looked different. A prettier house. A different season. More of whatever I thought I was missing.

But all that wanting kept me from seeing the beauty of what was already right in front of me.

So I started small. Stringing lights over our cracked patio. Using the “good” dishes on an ordinary Tuesday. Turning on jazz while I made dinner.

Nothing about my life changed overnight. But I did.

And slowly, I stopped waiting for a different life and started learning to love the one I already had.

If this hits home with you, I hope you’ll follow along!

Our entry inspo!

I was trying to figure out how to give our old headboard new life because, honestly, it had reached the point of being downright gross 😅 I started looking at new headboards and was absolutely shocked. Every one I loved was somewhere between $1,500-$4,000 and I simply could not justify it.

Then one day I looked over at this $19 Amazon tablecloth I’ve had for years, the one I’ve always loved because it’s 100% linen and somehow gets softer and prettier with every wash, and thought…wait a second. What if I just covered the headboard with fabric?

Truly, that one little thought sent me spiraling in the best way. Before I knew it, the bed was taken apart, I had a staple gun in my hand, and there was no turning back 🤪 That’s pretty much how things tend to go around here.

And honestly? It ended up becoming one of my favorite projects we’ve ever done. It gave our bedroom so much more character, saved us thousands of dollars, and was shockingly easy.

My whole family LOVED these Whole30-approved meatballs… and honestly, I think they may be going into our regular dinner rotation 😍 They were flavorful, easy to make, and even my kids ate them without complaining (which feels like a small miracle 🤪).

If you’re doing Whole30 or just looking for a healthier dinner that still feels cozy and comforting, save this recipe for later!

• 1 lb grass-fed ground beef
• 1/2 lb ground pork (or use all beef)
• 1 large egg
• 3 tbsp almond flour
• 3/4 tsp sea salt
• 1/4 tsp black pepper
• 1 tsp onion powder or 1/2 small onion, minced
• 3/4 tsp garlic powder or 3 cloves garlic, minced
• 2 tsp Italian seasoning
• Pinch of crushed red pepper
• 1 tbsp minced fresh parsley or basil (optional)
• 1 tbsp olive oil or avocado oil
• 24–32 oz Whole30-compliant marinara sauce (I used Rao’s)

Directions:
Mix together the beef, pork, egg, almond flour, and seasonings. Roll into meatballs. Heat oil in a skillet and brown the meatballs on all sides. Add marinara sauce, cover, and let simmer until cooked through, about 20–25 minutes.

We served ours over roasted veggies and they were SO good 🤍 Save this post so you have an easy Whole30 dinner ready for a busy weeknight!

Some of my favorite pieces in our home are the ones that almost got left behind.

I found these ottomans on Facebook Marketplace for $15, but I could not get past the original legs. They felt too heavy and just weren’t the look I wanted. So I swapped them out, and suddenly they became one of my favorite pieces in the room.

A good Facebook Marketplace find is rarely about what it is. It’s about what it could be.

If you’ve ever passed up something because it wasn’t “perfect,” consider this your reminder to look twice. A tiny change can make something feel completely different.

Follow along for more old-home finds, cozy corners, and easy ways to make a home feel collected and personal.
