I had a blast in Waco getting to attend the @restorationgateway event! They are such an amazing organization and I love the connection @lilandtess has made with them!! The private dinner @magnoliatable was AMAZING!! I loved getting to connect with the awesome souls behind @restorationgateway ❤️ And since I was in Waco I could not resist a quick trip to @magnolia 🎉. I had never been there, what a treat! I love getting to see how God is blessing that place! 🙌🏼 #restorationgateway #magnoliatable #waco #funtrip #simplykristinaleigh #lilandtess

Dang ladies and gentlemen, it is stinkin’ cold 😳! Time to put this fire pit to use!!! Actually I am totally kidding 🤣 it is wayyyy too cold for this chica to hang around outside even if it is around a fire! #staywarm #itsfreakinfreezing #iwasnotmadeforthis #firepit #simplykristinaleigh

Picking out materials can be super overwhelming! My best advice is to make a firm decision on the one thing that is most important to you and then build your other decisions on that foundation! #somanydecisions #makeonegooddecisionatatime #simplykristinaleigh #materials #selections #design #stone #granite #rock #tile #paint #grout
I am in the midst of finalizing my big side yard update and garden addition!! Can’t wait to share it with you!! Dude, I am going to have bucket loads of okra to chop up and cook next Spring.....yay!!! And on top of it all I am starting to make good progress in getting over the nasty effects from the scorpion sting that sent me to the hospital in June 🙌🏼 🙌🏼🙌🏼 #grateful #scorpionssuck #noscorpionsseriouslysuck #but #okrarocks #bigplans #garden #design #simplykristinaleigh
Here is another favorite of mine from from the @texaslivingmagazine photo shoot that did not make the beautiful article but I had to share!! I had a blast going on a shopping spree @homegoods to help me set this table 😍! They got lots of fun shots of this table- can’t wait to show you more of them!!!#ilovehomegoods #photoshoot #texasliving #outdoordining #succulents 📷 by Butch Ireland
There were so many amazing shots taken for the @texaslivingmagazine photo shoot that not all could make the article and here is one of my favorites that did not! I had a blast making flower arrangements for the shoot and I love this view because it captures them just beautifully....and the room ain’t bad either 😅🤩!! 📷by Butch Ireland
When I was writing my book I wanted to dedicate it to a special organization and as soon as I learned about @charitywater I knew it was the one!! It was love at first sight and my love for charity:water has only grown since then ❤️. Part of what captured me was the story of how it came to be and the man behind that story @scottharrison. I am THRILLED to have received today my copy of his book ‘THIRST’ and encouraged everyone I know to buy his book! Not only do I know you will be inspired by it but all proceeds from the sale of this books will go towards helping people get clean water who so desperately need it! So I plan to pour myself a glass of yummy water that I am grateful to have and dig into this awesome new book!! #thirst #charitywater
I am having a BLAST at the @sobellandco Marketplace! My mom’s super yummy snack mix (called Grandma’s Mild 😋) is flying off the shelf! So happy to be making new little Grandma’s Mild addicts!! I am also so happy to be sitting next to @posypaperstudio and her BEAUTIFUL hand painted creations! I love them and love sending them to people! We were chatting about succulents (because succulents rock❤️) and it reminded me of this great shot by Butch Ireland that he got for the @texaslivingmagazine that made the article! The succulents potted in this picture I had managed to keep alive for a few years but shortly after this picture was taken it gave out its last bit of oxygen to me 😢 RIP succulent, you will always be one of my favs! #succulentsrock #texasliving #magazine #photoshoot #design #study #studyladder
WARNING: BRAG ON MY KIDDOS ALERT!!! ❤️❤️❤️ As I have been attempting all of these new ventures the last three years, my kiddos have been with me every step of the way and have caught the entrepreneur bug, especially my oldest! For a few months they have been working on starting their own business with their sweet friend. They started out with GIANT plans like opening a vet clinic and hiring siblings and neighborhood friends to help run it but after giving them some mentoring and them learning lots and lots of business principles and realities they have officially landed on and launched their first business- ZOLIL INDUSTRIES (or ZOLIL for short!) ZOLIL’s first product is hand made yarn ball ornaments and crocheted strings for your Christmas tree! 😍 Be sure and swipe left to see the page they typed up all on their own- I was CRAZY impressed!! 🤩🤩🤩Thank you @sobellandco for letting them go live for the first time this weekend at your market ❤️. And a big thanks to everyone yesterday that supported them in making purchases and a thank you in advance today to everyone who is going to today on the last day of market!! ❤️❤️ #kidentrepreneurs #myheartisexploding #handmade #ornaments #zolil #sobellandcomarketplace @sobellandco @heiketarpley
So fresh and so clean clean 🎶 😅 Another great shot by Butch Ireland for the @texaslivingmagazine photo shoot! This beauty made the article! #masterbath #architecture #design #freestandingtub #texasliving #simplykristinaleigh
