Hey y’all! How’s your week going? It’s hump day, already! So this week I’m just searching for inspiration! I need a little break from decluttering (reading Declutter: The Japanese Art of Minimalism for motivation) because it’s just so emotionally stressful! For now, I’m wanting to do a quick-style in the boys bathroom! I say boys,…

Chisum and I decided we deserved a little reward after all of our decluttering & donating! Knowing that I don’t want to bring more stuff back into the house, we hit Goodwill after school with a very specific shopping mission! I told C he was allowed as many books as he wanted and one toy….

It’s 46° and rainy. Don’t get me wrong, I’m not complaining! Chisum and I need the snuggles just as much as we need the rain in West Texas! However, it feels much more like a dreary Fall day instead of April 25th! But I love a good excuse to sit down, be lazy and enjoy…

Don’t you love those times when you receive the same message from several different sources? I do! Some people call them confirmations. I call it a sign! I can’t even remember all the places I heard/read this mantra over the past week, likely in a book and on a couple of blogs. The phrase is…

When I started decluttering, it didn’t seem like I was making much headway. It was a daunting, emotional process! I’m still wondering what I have begun! But I hope this is the beginning of some healthy, new habits! I’m still a little surprised at how much stuff I just gave away! 7 boxes plus some…

Update! I got these gorgeous stadium chairs recently and wasn’t sure where I was going to use them! What better porch spot than under my wall garden! I may move them yet, but for now, this is my new favorite spot! My sweet little camera guy insisted on taking my picture! Here’s one of him!

We have this glorious porch on three sides of our house! It’s one of the reasons we fell in love with this property. So I’ve been working on the porch in small sections. I wanted to create seating areas all around and an outdoor dining experience! The sun rises on the back and sets on…

Does a girl really need three sets of mixing bowls in three different materials? The answer is NO! Unless she’s an avid baker that is, or using her personal kitchen for a baking business!! Using Remodelista’s Kitchen Inventory List, and being inspired by Cait’s Year of Less where she got rid of more than 40%…

I haven’t been on a Spring hiatus y’all, I’ve just been Spring cleaning! When I think “spring cleaning” I picture a gorgeous housewife in a French maid outfit scrubbing tile grout and polishing silver, all without a stray hair from her bun! Not at all what I look like after a day of hardcore cleaning!…

Closet space is coveted in our master suite! Husband is already down to one-fourth of the closet space we do have! So it was time to get creative with some space-saving techniques. What takes up the most space in the closet? Chunky hangers, right? I know, I know, they’re sturdy, they hold up under the…
