Welcome to the Styled Out West Blog
Never miss a thing!
A Life + Business Update
It’s been a MINUTE since I’ve caught up with you all on the blog. Between the pandemic, the success of our Interior Design services and trying to raise two small kids, the blog took a major back seat. But I can happily say, it’s coming back in a big way and I can’t wait to start sharing all kinds of content with you all on a more regular basis!
How I Really Feel About Quarantine
So here we are, almost 10 weeks into quarantine and I still don’t really know how I feel about it. It’s funny because I remember the exact day that things changed. I’m opening up and getting real about how I really feel about this entire situation called quarantine.
How We Survived Our Firth Month with a Newborn + Toddler
Well hello, friends! It’s been a hot minute since I’ve written a post, but as I’m sure you can guess (or know), it’s because we had a baby! On September 15th at 12:57am, we welcomed our sweet Joey Rae to the world and life has forever changed for the better.
Why I’ve Decided to Go Back to School
When I graduated from college, I thought I knew exactly what I wanted to do with my life. I always loved Fashion and had this dream of being a “big wig” at a major fashion retailer or some sort of creative in that field. I decided to major in Communications at the University of Washington because that was the only option that was broad enough to cover almost any type of career. Most large university’s don’t offer specialized majors which leaves a lot of students pondering what they are going to do with their degree after they finish. But now there are so many options for schooling that offer a specialized career path and one of them is Interior Design! And it just so happens that one has opened here in Seattle, which is why I am so excited to share Heritage School of Interior Design with you!
How to Balance Family Life
As a family of three who is about to become four, this topic has been on my mind for quite some time now. But the question is - how do we balance it all? Even before kids I remember it being hard to find time to fit everything in and then you add a child into the mix and you better buckle up! But, I would like to think we’ve done a pretty good job of balancing it all. And today I’m sharing how.
Why I’ve Taken a Little Break from Social Media and Blogging
So why did I take a little break from social media and blogging? SURPRISE…I AM 12 WEEKS PREGNANT! This isn’t much of a surprise to me, as my husband I are were trying for baby #2, but for most of you who follow along, I haven’t really expressed my want for a bigger family. While we are elated, my body, on the other hand, had different thoughts.
As the new year begins, there’s no better time to refresh your home and start decluttering after the whirlwind of the holidays. In the hustle and bustle of family life, clutter can sneak up on us, filling living rooms with extra toys, cramming junk drawers that no longer close, and turning spare rooms into storage catch-alls. Sound familiar? You’re not alone!
