Welcome
Oh, Hey!
I’m Nickell (pronounced Knee-Kell), but you can call me Kell! I’m a woman of God, a wife, a mother, and I love creating a space filled with organization, style, and functionality. You can catch me wrangling my 4 kids most of the day, tending to my plants (I’m obsessed!), or spending time with my husband. I’m so glad you found my little slice of the internet where I keep it real. Life isn’t perfect. It’s messy… let’s navigate it together.

DIY Clay Trinket Dish (Anthropologie Inspired)
I made this trinket dish inspired by Anthropologie's (way too expensive) dish.

Nothing fancy and nothing that cost Anthropologie money so I decided to make my own DIY Clay Trinket Dish!
