2023 PROJECT LIST

01/11/2023

List, lists, I love lists. Packing lists, holiday shopping lists, bucket lists. Give me all the lists. With the new year and all it’s resolutions and planning, I decided to make a 2023 Project List. 1. To get the things out of my head and onto paper. 2. To set visual goals. 3. To see how many of my goals actually became a reality by the end of the year. I printed and hung the list inside a cabinet door that we use often so it haunts inspires us daily to Get. It. Done. Let’s see if it works. With finishing out our basement this winter and phase one of the back patio this summer, I highly doubt we’ll get to turning the spare bedroom into a master closet with laundry this year but a girl can dream. Looking forward to a productive 2023. And better nights’ sleep with...

MAKE YOUR HOME COZY THIS WINTER

01/06/2023

It’s no secret. I am not the biggest fan of winter. As someone who is always cold, the winter months make me never want to leave the house. The snow tracks in dirty wet messes on the floors which I inevitably step in with my sock feet. My mood and productivity level always slump during the winter as the dark sets in earlier and earlier. Bah humbug. This winter I’m doing all I can to make the most of the season. That includes incorporating all things cozy in my house. Right now, instead of working at my desk like I normally would, I’ve pulled up a chair by the fire, poured my favorite drink, put a yummy scent in the diffuser, and am snuggled in a blanket while I write this blog post. Below are things that I consider “cozy” around my house. LIGHTS It hit me as I...

NEW YEAR’S EVE BLING

12/30/2022

New Year’s Eve is upon us. A time for reflection, dreams, plans, goals and DISCO BALLS! I haven’t taken down my Christmas decorations yet but I did change out a few things in preparation for NYE. I pulled together all of my prettiest cocktail glasses, added some bubbly and of course a little bling on the bar cart including my DIY Disco Ball Drink Stirrers. The holiday tablescape was removed and replaced with an old gold sequin table runner. Red ornaments were pulled from the greenery and disco balls were added. The plant shelf was left decorated for Christmas with my Target dollar spot village and disco balls were added amongst the twinkle lights. And finally the bowl of candy canes and ornaments was swapped for disco balls, twinkle lights and a glitter star garland. The picture doesn’t do it justice. It’s so pretty and sparkly in real life....
