    Bringing it all together

    This year is all about organization.  We see and hear it everywhere.  From the new organizational items on the market to the new TV shows about organization; organization is definately on everyone’s mind this year.  I was able to utilize our rather long family entrance hallway (you know, the one to the garage since we never actually use our front door) to organize several, often chaotic, tasks into one area. Areas such as this have many names.  Some people call them “command centers”, some call them “family planning centers”, and some call them “drop zones’.  I have also seen them referred to by many other names but whatever you call…

    Jobs-For-Hire Board

    Command Center Jobs-For-Hire Board One of the things I knew from the beginning I wanted to add to my Command Center is a jobs-for-hire board.  When I received this beautiful barn door chalk/magnet/ cork board for Christmas, I knew I had found the home for my jobs-for-hire board. Job Descriptions The jobs I list on my Jobs-For-Hire board are usually quick jobs I could use some help with.  I list things like “Vacuum the stairs” or “Unload the dishwasher”.  Along with the jobs, I include how much you will be paid for the job and I attach the cash to the cork board behind the job posting.  This simple practice…

    Love Brings you Home

    I knew I wanted something over the door to the garage with some type of message reminding family they are loved each time they leave the house but I wasn’t sure exactly what I wanted. I had in mind something that says to be safe, have fun, and come home, though much more elegantly worded. I found a set of adhesive wall letters which says, “Life takes you to unexpected places, Love brings you home”. This was the exact sentiment I was looking for, but I didn’t want to just put the letters onto the wall. I wasn’t sure what I was going to do until I ran across a…

    Family Entrance /Command Center Beginnings

    After going through 17 shades of gray looking for the perfect color for our master bed and bath, I’m not looking forward to selecting a paint color for the long hallway that leads to our garage.  However since this is a long hallway, it’s the perfect area to add a command center, and starting on that project may just give me the inspiration I need to tackle choosing a paint color again! As you know, I try to let functionality lead my style choices, even if that isn’t always easy.  To help me decide what I needed in this command center, instead of just picking what would look pretty, I…

“Our new normal.” Like so many of you I am so “Our new normal.” Like so many of you I am so tired of hearing that phrase.  I just want our actual normal back. I want my son to be allowed to high-five his tennis doubles partner. I want my daughter’s gymnastics meets to allow spectators. And I want to hug my mom!  But one thing from this “no where close to normal” time that we are all living in I plan to keep is this #ad automatic soap:hand sanitizer dispenser gifted to me by @uniquetechus.  I installed it by the laundry room sink, which is right by the door our family uses most frequently. It has been great to be able to wash up just steps into the house. Even after the COVID protocols are a distant memory, this will be perfect for washing up coming in from the yard or garage. So while I’m so ready for all of the COVID requirements to go away, I will happily keep this touchless soap dispenser long term. As a New Year’s special, you can use the code 10Crystals for 10% off when you order from Amazon during January!  The link is in my bio. Thank you so much @uniquetechus. Now I just need a touchless faucet to go with it. #uniquetech #newnormal #newnormal2021 #touchlessdispenser #laundryroom #handsfree #laundrysink #bhghome #necessaryandbeautiful #functionaldecor #gifted #cleanhome #cleanhomehappyhome #cleanhomehappymom #currenthomeview #makemyhome #cleanhomeisahappyhome

Don’t you just love seeing a big package on your Don’t you just love seeing a big package on your front porch?  And it’s even better when that package is from @downlitebedding! 

I have searched for years for a pillow that lets me sleep comfortably through the night so when #downlitebedding offered me a couple of their pillows to try I jumped at the chance.  I have been using one of these pillows for a couple of weeks now and I couldn’t be happier!

Everyone in our family tried them out and we all love them.  My teenaged son, who generally isn’t picky about his pillow at all, asked if he could keep one because he liked it better than any pillow he had used before.

The pillows we were gifted are the Jumbo Moisture Wicking, but they also have lots of other wonderful items and you can use the code DYGEN15 to get 15% off everything at Downlite Bedding Company right now!

I finally got to finish my Christmas tablescape! I finally got to finish my Christmas tablescape!  I’m sure a Christmas girl, but I wait until after Thanksgiving to decorate my dining room for Christmas.  I’m so happy to have gotten it finished.  When do you start decorating, and when do you feel wayyy behind if you aren’t finished?  Tomorrow I plan to show you a new Christmas DIY, I can’t wait.  Christmas DIY.  This is definitely my favorite time of the year to decorate!  #bdsdaily91e #redandwhitechristmas #redwhiteandgreenchristmas #seasonalstyle #christmassneakpeek #christmasdecorating #christmas2020 #christmastablescape #christmastablescapes #santaclauseiscomingtotown #sleighride #Lenox #redandgoldchristmas #diningroomdecor #diningroomchristmasdecor

It’s beginning to look more and more like Christ It’s beginning to look more and more like Christmas at our home, and we are all loving our new Christmas tree collar from Hallops Home Decor!  The farmhouse look is enhanced by the rust-look edges, and though our cat loves checking it out, it is keeping Yoshi away from the base of the tree so he hasn’t tried climbing the tree even once!! Win-Win.
