So, one of my favorite ways to decorate is by hanging up cute wall decor and art. It's such a fun and easy way to constantly change up your space. Plus it's super inexpensive! I always order my prints off of Etsy because they have THOUSANDS of options. It's so easy to go down the rabbit hole and spend hours looking haha! I then get them printed at Walmart online.

I thought I was just getting dinner with my boyfriend, but they were all there! We went to a Mexican restaurant then back…

Wahoo starting a new series on the blog all about my KC favorites! I get so many questions on Instagram about my favorite restaurants, shops, coffee shops, etc. So I wanted to finally start posing KC guides for all of you that live here, visit here, or are moving here!
