I'm Amy, the Modern Chemist, and here's my hypothesis: Each one of us wants a beautiful, cheerful home that suits the way we live and doesn't cost a fortune. With a little hard work and creativity (and perhaps some help from me!) that home can be the one you are in today.

Are you ready to fall in love with where you live? Because class is about to begin. Put on your white coat, grab your safety goggles, and roll up your sleeves. Together, let's observe, measure, experiment, rearrange, paint, power tool, and create until we prove this hypothesis is true.

Welcome to Modern Chemistry at Home.

Cymbals for him, bracelets for her. #winwin #untilthegrabbingstarts A few weeks ago, I took my three year old to Bachman's to pick out some flowers for her playhouse. She very politely asked for a succulent instead. 😂 We picked out one for her and one for big sis. They are such cute little plants, which have been lovingly cared for and named "Sux" (short for succulent, obv 😜) and "Judah" by the girls. #kidsthesedays #howyouhome There's a change in the wind. I can feel my design taste shifting. I've been editing my home—taking away decor items from each room, happy with a little less, including less color. Wondering if it's time to swap out these red lamps for something a little quieter? 🤔 (They were upcycled with spray paint and new shades + ribbon—link in bio if you're curious.) But for now, this gallery wall—although busy!—is sitting tight. That golden hour. ☀️ The girls helped me make pear sauce this morning because those bad boys just never got ripe. 🍐 And costumes. Always costumes. Let's hope that fire hat isn't foreshadowing. 😬🔥 Happy Monday! #childhoodunplugged #letthembelittle #cookingwithkids People ask about Ford's name—how did we choose it? Is it a family name? Nope. It was literally the last name standing when we went through out list. But we do love it. And then there's the added benefit of being able to buy things with his name already on them. 😉 The hat was a gift from my parents. ❤️ Let the sun shine in! 🌞 Apparently cleaning your windows really does make a difference? 😝 But so does taking down curtains. I realized I hadn't pulled shut the kitchen curtains in ages so I took them down and kaboom! Now it's even brighter in here—and simpler. My husband even noticed. 😊 I kind of wish all windows could be bare, but you know, privacy and such. What do you think? Do you put window treatments on all your windows or leave them bare when you can? #exersaucerforthewin #lightandbright #whitekitchen Today, this man and I mark ten years of marriage. What a privilege and delight it is to stand by his side through life's joys and trials. He is an excellent man who loves Jesus, me, and his children so greatly. I sometimes can't believe I get to be his wife. 💕 (Note to self: take more pictures of just the two of us. 😊) Happy anniversary, @pfcbenjamin! Sometimes he lets her stay up and play Monument Valley on the iPad. (It's seriously fun and great for developing spacial reasoning!) She'll be five next month. How is that possible? The days are long but the years are short. Today I want to remember how the older one helped the younger one reach her clothes in the closet so they could surprise me by coming downstairs fully dressed this morning. A sweet blessing to this weary mama's heart. #childhoodunplugged #letthembelittle
