Embracing the Process {Part 2}

10/03/2018 By Bre

Hello Friends!! Yesterday I shared one of the risks I took early on in my blogging days, when I was first starting out in my business!! To clarify I don’t not consider myself a risk taker, or one who embraces chaos and uncertainty which are the first words that come to mind when I hear the phrase “risk-taker”. But I’ve been slightly surprised with myself over the last five years or so, as I’ve begun to grow my business, and realize that risk taking is necessary process in order grow. I believe it’s all part of embracing the process as we stretch ourselves to do bigger and better things! So today I’m going to continue with Part 2 of Embracing the Process. If you missed Part 1 I would highly encourage you to read that part first, so this doesn’t seem totally out of left field. Anyways here we go….

Finding your Dream

09/30/2018 By Bre

I believe that everyone has a dream placed inside of them. I don’t think it matters what age you are, or your race or geographic location. I believe we were all born with a dream deep down inside of our hearts just waiting to come forth. I’ve been really feeling encouraged this past year to encourage women (and men) to chase their God-sized dreams, and not let fear of failure or other people scare them from walking into their full potential. Because I believe that when we are walking out in that God-sized dream we are walking in our fullest potential.

Friday Round-Up

09/28/2018 By Bre

Hello Friends and Happy Friday!! of “Fri-YAY” as we say it in my house. I just wanted to pop in and share a few different things with you, that don’t necessarily need their own post! A little bit of some Friday shenanigans if you will!

Featured in the Cottage Journal

09/15/2018 By Bre

I am so thankful for this amazing opportunity to be featured by the Cottage Journal. It was so fun to read the article and see our home through the eyes of their lens. And if you’ve ever wondered why I named my blog “Rooms for Rent”, I’m sharing all about in the interview.

Exciting Announcement…..

08/29/2018 By Bre

First of all I want to say thank you so much for all of your sweet comments on my “Dream” post! I really love being able to share from my heart, and plan to do so more. I want to not only inspire women in their homes but encourage their dreams – whatever they may be – as well! So thank you for allowing me to do just that! In case you missed it, and maybe could use a little encouragement in your life, you can check out the post HERE, where I shared about how I overcame my fear, and began to start pursuing the dream that God put on my heart 6 years ago! Today however I have some exciting news I want to share with you all. I’ve shared before how I want to start incorporating more lifestyle posts on the blog, and perhaps a little more transparency with you.

A dream…

08/23/2018 By Bre

I began to feel my heart strings tugged again to start exploring becoming an interior decorator. I had my hands full with two babies eighteen months apart, a new home I hadn’t even scratched the surface on all my plans for yet, and still I had this undeniable urge to start some kind of a creative business. You see though, I had been here before. Everytime I got this close, I came up with an excuse as to why not, and talked myself out of it.

Currently Loving {vol. 2}

08/14/2018 By Bre

I don’t know if it’s celebrating each season, or the anticipation of the seasonal change right around the corner, but I find myself being drawn to certain things, or pieces at different times throughout the year. Not as generic as lets say pumpkin spice everything come fall, or coconut smelling soaps and lotions in the summer. No this varies from season to season, and changes throughout the mood. I shared in my first post of Currently Loving that sometimes these things don’t have a specific category they fall into, or a designated blog post. I just wanted a place to share what currently has me swooning, and perhaps at the same time it will have you swooning too. Nope this is just a light hearted, what I’m currently loving right now kind of post!

Home is Where Your Story Begins

07/01/2018 By Bre

It’s a gift, that environment you created, that space you cultivated, even if you just fluffed the throw pillows on your couch – when you take the time to make others feel comfortable and welcome in your home you are offering them a gift. It’s not always about having the nicest and the best. If I think back on every home I’ve had, through every season of life I’ve been in, there is one common thread through them all – it was a welcoming environment. Whether my living room was made up of thrift store furniture, or when we could finally afford to buy a new couch.

5 Things Motherhood has Taught Me

05/13/2018 By Bre

On this Mothers Day, I wanted to share with you a little bit about my journey in motherhood so far. I cap it at “so far” because well, I’m right in the middle of it. I’m past the throws of the infant stage and toddler hood, and no sleep, and right in the sweet spot of “I can wipe my own bum” and “tie my own shoes” and there is no sign of pre-teen drama. And even if we aren’t at the same stage in life, or motherhood for that matter, I really just wanted to share what has impacted me, what I’ve learned so far, lol. Because if you haven’t been in toddlerhood for a while, it is no joke my friend! While I still have a long ways to go, here are 5 things I’ve learned so far.
