I’ve never really decorated specifically for Valentine’s Day, with the exception of when I had littles about. It was more about construction paper hearts and special pencils for school work back then. My Christmas and winter decor kinda meshed at that time. Lots of snowmen and sleds mingled with the more Christmas-y items. The diminutive…… Continue reading simple valentine’s day decor & true love
Let me start with an apology. Sorry for the sad photos…we haven’t had much sun the last few days. I struggle at the best of times to get decent pictures, but it’s been extra challenging this winter. Usually I start my planning in September, as it corresponds to the school year. My current bullet journal,…… Continue reading chaos control: setting up my bullet journal for 2019
I’m always a little slow in sharing seasonal posts. Perhaps it’s due to my process. I tend to break out the seasonal decor totes, slowly put out new season items while removing the old, change up placed items repeatedly until I’m somewhat satisfied, make new decorations, forget to gather fresh greenery…you get the picture. We’re…… Continue reading decking the halls: a christmas home tour
This fall found us back on the road for several weeks, which found me rather negligent in terms of this blog. Before the Christmas decorations make their appearance, I thought I should take note of the fleeting fall decor. It really doesn’t hang around long, does it? Winter seems to last forever here; our spring…… Continue reading simple fall decor & diy rustic pumpkins
So… I was going to wait to do this until I was finished my spring cleaning, but it’s been a bit of a slow process around here. It seems the warm weather motivated y’all long ago, but we still have the furnace going most days around here. I did begin the purging process in my…… Continue reading spring cleaning ~ closet purge
Do you have a project that has loomed over you for ages? I have had one. That’s right…I finally got around to painting my df girl’s wardrobe! I shouldn’t tell you we’ve had this hand-me-down dresser since 2013, but it’s the sad truth. It is sturdy and practical; heavy as all get out and was dark…… Continue reading point for me…finally painted that wardrobe
I profess, I am not one to jump on the January bandwagon of goals and resolutions. Not that I’m against getting organized–far from it. I truly want to have an organized and efficient home. I do like checklists and setting goals, though I’ve learned to do so in pencil, because I have trouble with the…… Continue reading chaos control ~ jewelry organizer
Yesterday, we toured the living room of our little home decked out for the holidays (see here). I love adding some seasonal flair to our space, but Christmas is, by far, my favourite time to decorate. We turn on some festive music, pull various items filled with memories from our Christmas totes, and try to…… Continue reading fa la la la la-ing & deck the halls-ing ~ part two
I just love everything about the Christmas season: the music, the movies, the decorating, the goodies, the parties, but most of all the general spirit of good will and of course the reason behind it all, the birth of the Saviour–Emmanuel, God with us. I don’t want this to be a stressful time (although I…… Continue reading fa la la la la-ing & deck the halls-ing ~ part one
So…I am finally getting around to hanging some pictures in our home. Because it’s a rental that’s been freshly painted, I decided to be thoughtful and try out 3M Command hooks to leave as few nail holes as possible. The pictures I was hanging are actually very light frames from the dollar store. The hangers…… Continue reading gallery wall fail
