project plans for 2024
In yesterday’s blog post, we looked back at some of my favorite projects of 2023. Today, let’s look ahead to 2024 and the home projects we have on the list. They might not all get done this year because other priorities might pop up or we might be unable to fit some of the bigger […]
2023 favorite projects
While I enjoy looking forward to the coming year in January, I think it’s also important to look back. It can be easy to focus on the to-do list and ways we want to improve, but, even if the previous year has been difficult or hasn’t been everything one hoped, there are always things we’ve […]
What I did & learned over my break…
I’m ba-ack! The funny thing is that the boys had a snow day today, so everyone is home when I’m trying to buckle down and get back to work! While I’m enjoying the snow, it’s hard not to get pulled into the snow day spirit and take just one more day off, but it’s time […]

Christmas kitchen shelves
Just when you might think I’m done decorating the kitchen for Christmas, there is more!

I know the white shelves are a sticking point for some, but […]
more of the Christmas kitchen 2023
I am finally rounding the Christmas decorating corner and the finish line is in sight. I have had the dining room covered in bins, ornaments, garlands, and ribbon and I’ve been using it as a staging area for the rest of the decorating. Slowly, I’ve been using the decorations and the dining room is getting […]
