Ranch Pork Chops and Green Beans Sheet Pan Dinner
I am so happy the time has changed because that means gardening season is very close. I also love the time change because the sun is still shining when I get off work. Which means I have better lighting for all of my pictures. So that means more blog post coming soon!
I am so excited to share this recipe with you all. It is one of my favorites and it is so simple and easy!
- 3 tbsp olive oil
- 1 oz ranch salad dressing and seasoning mix (1 oz package)
- 1 tsp smoked paprika
- 1 tbsp oregano dry
- 1 tsp ground black pepper
- 6 pork chops either boneless or bone-in will work
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400 F degrees. Spray a baking sheet with cooking spray.
- Place green beans and pork chops on the baking sheet and drizzle the olive oil over the pork chops and the green beans and toss well.
- In a small bowl mix together the ranch seasoning, smoked paprika, oregano and black pepper. Rub the seasoning over the pork chops and the green beans. I didn't find the need for additional salt, but feel free to season with salt to taste.
- Place the baking sheet in the oven and roast for about 35 to 40 minutes or until the pork chops are cooked through and the green beans are fork tender. The internal temperature of the chops should reach 145 degrees F (63 degrees C) when cooked. Also please note that all ovens are different, and some may take longer and some may require less time.
- Garnish with chopped parsley then serve immediately.xoxo,Skyler

Cozy Snow Day
I just realized this is my first blog post of 2018! I hope all of you had a wonderful Christmas and New Years! I am sorry I have been MIA these last few weeks, but I have enjoyed all my free time with my family and friends over the Holidays!
I have really been struggling getting content for my blog. It is always hard for me to get pictures because it is dark when I get home every evening, and on the weekends my husband never wants to take them for me! I took advantage of him today because we are both stuck at home because of the snow and I knew he couldn't make an excuse!
I am so happy it is snowing here in VA! It has been extremely cold these last few weeks but it hasn't snowed at all! It finally snowed today! I am enjoying a relaxing day at home while catching up on laundry!
I wanted to share this simple/cozy snow look with you guys! I also really recommend hair extensions because I didn't even brush my hair out for this shoot! I just braided a strand of hair and put in my extensions! They're magical!

Oversized Sweater
Is anyone else sad the snow is gone? I really wish it snowed all the time so I could stay at home and not feel guilty about not doing anything! I feel like I am always on the run these days. When it snows it is always hard to decide what to wear because it is wet, and cold. This snow I decided to wear this amazing oversized sweater from Loft. It is so soft, cozy, and big! It's perfect for the occasion. I also decided to wear my Swede black booties from Macy's! These amazing booties are so comfortable and fit true to size. I also bought these oversized boyfriend cut jeans from Macy's on cyber monday! I love them because they cropped at the bottom, which is perfect for showing off your shoes!
I hope everyone enjoys their work week!
Only 15 days until Christmas!

Winter Wonderland
Happy First Snow Day!
I hope everyone had an amazing Friday! I took the day off and enjoyed some Christmas shopping with my momma! Then I came home and took the longest nap EVER! It is something about taking a nap when its snowing that makes you feel like you are literally in heaven!
I have always enjoyed the snow and I really enjoy all that comes with it! Naps, pictures, fireplaces, blankets, and hot coco! It's always the most wonderful time of the year!
I found this amazing dress on Cyber Monday at Old Navy.com for only $24! It came in the mail this week and I think it might be my favorite dress of all time. I love the perfect length of this dress. I also snagged up these booties at Macy's.com on Cyber Monday for $34 and it was buy a pair get a pair free!

Farmhouse Christmas Decor
Main Christmas Tree
Happy Saturday everyone! I hope all of you have had a wonderful thanksgiving holiday! I love the holidays because that means more food and extra time with the family! I have always enjoyed everything about Thanksgiving and Christmas!
One of my favorite parts about Christmas is decorating! As most of you know I graduated Liberty University with a degree in Interior Design. I am not a "interior" designer, but I design products/work sales for big companies all across the United States! Wayfair, Pottery barn, Bellacor, etc. I am constantly shopping/ looking for new trends online everyday as my job! So how can I not want to have the most up to date home when I work with trends everyday?
This year is the first year being married, and the first time decorating my own home (which makes it even more fun). I would consider my home/style farmhouse! So when decorating for Christmas I am not the girl who puts up the average green and red Christmas tree (there is nothing wrong with that). I always find myself trying to come up with the most unique Christmas tree styles. It is very hard when all most all of your house is white on the inside.
This year I wanted a farmhouse tree and that is exactly what I did. Let me tell you guys a little trick. Always, Always, Always buy big ornaments! Also, another trick is to buy a skinner tree that way it is simpler to decorate, and achieve that "look" you are going for. It is so important to truly stick with a theme. There are literally so many cute ornaments out there (aka targets selection) but that doesn't mean buy every ornament that you` think is cute. I always have to hold myself back. It's so important to stick with your theme, because one wrong color/style of an ornament will ruin your whole look.
Lastly, the more lights and ornaments the better! Sometimes you have to spend a little extra to make your tree look beautiful!
Mudroom Christmas Décor
Trying to plan for my Christmas home décor has been so fun! I believe my favorite room in the house would have to be the mudroom! I think it's a time to be unique and pretty traditional! I decorated this room with a "real" small tree, a sign from Kirklands that says "Merry Christmas", and a 1900's antique Boones mill T.M Wood box.
Decorating for Christmas was so fun this year and I hope you get to enjoy decorating as much as I did!
