    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…

    Weekly Family Planner for the Command Center

    I finally found the weekly family calendar that I have been looking for.  I use one of the Mom’s calendars for planning further out, and I love it, but I need a larger and more prominent calendar to plan out our weeks.  When I saw this at Hobby Lobby I knew it was the one. Even though I really like this one, it was missing a couple of things. First I sometimes need to keep track of papers which have to be returned to school on particular days or items that needs to be mailed on a specific date.  To help with that, I attached Bulldog clips between each day.…

    My Trick for Perfect Placement on a Gallery Wall

    I love gallery walls when everything is in its perfect place.  I think I must be worse at deciding on the perfect place than most because I never get it right the first time.  However, I have found something that works for me.  At least, it works when the wall has to be painted anyway.  If the wall needs to be painted a new color, and will require two coats of paint, I like to paint on one coat and then play around with the placement of my items making up the gallery wall.  I have never had much luck with marking out the spaces on the wall with painters…

    Updating an Orange-y Oak to a modern whitewash

    How to Transform Orange-y Oak to a Modern Whitewash I found this cute little sign that is perfect for my command center – above the weekly calendar. I love this piece, and it’s placement, because we should all try to remember to enjoy every moment of everyday – not just the big moments or the big days! What I didn’t love was the orange-y color of the piece. To fit with my other items in the command center, I wanted to get rid of the orange and end up with a more modern farmhouse look of aged gray. To achieve the look I wanted, I used a two-step process. First…

    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…

I have tried other sound bars but the way this one enhances the voices in amazing. Check out my story for a short clip from a tv show using TV Ears. The sound effects and music are so loud in this scene we had to play it multiple times before we made out all of the dialogue. With TV ears no one missed any of the conversation. This sound bar greatly exceeded our expectations. #soundbar #hometheater #theaterroom #basementmakeover #movienight #soundbars #voiceenhancing #whatdidhesayagain #justaddpopcornandnetflix #familymovienight🎬🍿 #loveourhome #beautifuldecorstyles

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
