christmas decorating sources 2022

I think 2021 was my favorite year so far when it comes to decorating for Christmas. I started early because I felt like it and I genuinely enjoyed the process, the projects, and relishing the season. This year, it’s a little harder because we’re still in the middle of projects, painting, and settling in. I’m […]

blue & white checked curtains

When my mom and I took a day to make the curtains for the living room, we also made blue and white checked curtains for the primary bedroom.
