Beautiful Home Organizing Challenge: How to Organize Your Children's Clothes
The next space up on our organizing challenge is kid’s clothing storage. Somehow I’ve never made a good system with how I organize and store JW’s clothes, so this was something I was really excited to get started. I have linked everything that I used at the end of this post for you to shop as well!
The Ultimate Kentucky Derby Cheeseboard!
I can’t believe I have never thought to make a Kentucky Derby Cheeseboard before, but it’s going to be hard to top! Being born and raised in Kentucky, I wanted to put together a board that showcases all things bluegrass, southern, and delicious! There is no where better to live and eat than Kentucky, and if you don’t believe that, just try this board! This board has it all from hot brown dip to mint julep salsa, bourbon balls to country ham biscuits, benedictine to mini derby pies, and more! I also included lots of different veggies, crackers, and bread options for tons of different dipping and snacking combinations! As always you can totally customize this board, and any of my boards, to fit your guest list and budget and all suggested ingredients can be edited and swapped out easily!
Beautiful Home Organizing Challenge: How to Organize Your Bathroom
If you live in an older home like us, you are probably very limited on bathroom storage. A good way to combat the lack of space is by utilizing what you do have! The key is organization and making sure each item has a home and thinking of strategic ways to hide unsightly items. By using baskets under your vanity for towels, incorporating some open shelving, and maximizing vanity space, you can really make your bathrooms both functional and beautiful without having a ton of large storage spaces!
Easy Baked Hot Brown Dip
Hot Browns are a staple for any derby party or dinner, but so difficult to make and keep fresh when you have a lot of guests! This hot brown dip is the perfect way to enjoy the flavors of this classic Kentucky staple without all the work! You can serve this cold, or baked (like below- highly recommend), and it’s delicious with any kind of toasted bread, pretzels, crackers, veggies, or chips! Find all the ingredients and instructions below!
Storage Carts for Your Bathroom
Let’s talk about storage carts! these little wonders are the perfect, affordable way to add a ton of extra storage without taking up a lot of square footage! I love using them in offices, closets, laundry rooms, kitchens, and of course, bathrooms! I recently added this little 3 tier cart to our guest bath and it’s a game changer for organizing all my bath/beauty products and John Woodford’s bath toys! I added a basket to the bottom shelf to hide bath toys and used various trays and organizers on the top two shelves for other soaps, bath, and beauty products. I can even roll it around the space as I need it- by the sink or by the tub!
Mint Julep Fruit Salsa
This bright, fresh, and flavorful fruit salsa is the perfect addition to your Kentucky derby party spread! I have to admit I’ve always kind of scoffed at the idea of fruit salsa, but this recipe definitely changed my mind! The addition of the bourbon and mint gives this such a great depth of flavor and I was literally just eating it with a spoon! Serve with some sweeter crackers or chips (cinnamon pita or tortilla chips are ideal) or eat all alone!

One of my most asked design questions is how to put together a good pillow combo!

I’ve broken these down into some easy categories- so you can’t go wrong mixing and matching for a foolproof pillow combination.
