The Time I thought Throw Pillows were Silly

20 Apr

I know that most men would probably agree with the title of this blog post. I'm pretty sure my husband does as well. My friends and I have swapped countless stories of how our spouses don't understand the need for all these tiny, plush squares in our lives, but yes there was a time when I too wondered what the big deal was as well. I mean, they are just throw pillows? Yet it's not silly to want to love our homes or Love the spaces we Live in, and find comfort in them. Our homes can impact our emotional well being greatly, and offer us security with how they welcome us in after our a long hard day. So why did I used to think throw pillows were silly? Today I'm sharing the journey of how I ... Read More about The Time I thought Throw Pillows were Silly

Staircase Refresh Ideas

2 Apr

Hello Friends! We are just about wrapping up week 3 of the kids being home from school, and social distancing, and I'm happy to report that the project bug is just now starting to kick in. When everything happened, I wondered how long it would take before these four walls around us would start staring back at me, waiting for me to tackle a project. When we first started distance learning, I was so focused on getting our kiddos established in their new routines, I didn't have time to focus on much else. But now that we are finally starting to get into the swing of things, I find myself looking around our house with "projects to tackle" in mind. I've been thinking about doing this particular ...

My Favorite Painting App

30 Mar

Hello Friends!! Happy Monday! I hope you had a great weekend! We had a wonderful rainy Sunday, and even though we've been home all week, it felt like just the lazy day our souls needed. We lounged on the couch, watched movies, played games together as a family, and just spent time resting together. During one of those lazy lounge sessions on our couch I opened up an app I've actually had for a few years now, but found myself completely content within seconds as I started transforming some of my favorite photos into watercolor paintings! So in case you are in the mood for a little watercolor therapy, grab your paint brush ... or ummm .. your phone, and check out my favorite painting app! ... Read More about My Favorite Painting App

5 Things I’m doing Right Now during Social Distancing

Hello Friends! Today I'm pretending like you and I are sitting down with a cup of coffee. I'd say on my couch in my living room, but since we are all supposed to be social distancing right now I'm thinking that would be considered taboo? So we are just going to have a virtual cup of coffee together instead, and I'm going to imagine we are chatting just like I would be with my closest gal-pal about all the struggles of being home right now, and what I'm doing to stay sane. I came up with 5 things I'm doing right now during social distancing, and hope this helps you as well! Check it out ~ ... Read More about 5 Things I’m doing Right Now during Social Distancing
