    Happy List: #242

    Why, hello again! Welcome to the Happy List! This week on the blog I shared pictures of our new living room rug. I’m quite smitten with it at the moment.

    Happy List: #241

    Hello! Welcome to the Happy List. This week on the blog I shared a bunch of shelf ideas. Getting organized helps me feel like I have a little more control over my world. Notice I said MY world, not THE world. I have no control over that. Ha! I also shared the joy that is miniature table clocks. Have you ever had or do you currently have a miniature table clock?

    Happy List: #240

    Hello! Welcome to the first Happy List of 2022! How is the new year treating you so far? For me, it hasn’t been bad. It has been filled with a whole mixed bag of feelings though! This week I shared two things on the blog that gave me all sorts of warm fuzzy feelings. The first is the pool ball rack art I made for my son’s room. I love creating something with my own two hands and repurposing items into home decor, so this project was a win for me. I also shared all the podcasts that keep me company while I go about my daily business. I hope…

    Happy List: #239 Early Christmas Edition

    Welcome to an early edition of the Happy List! I thought before I signed off for the rest of the year that I’d squeeze in one more Happy List. Why not, right? This week on the blog I also wrote a Merry Christmas post on how I’m feeling this year. If you haven’t read it yet it has to do with hugs and nuts. Makes total sense. While I will be off the blog until after the first of the year or thereabouts, you can always see what we are up to on Instagram or Facebook. I don’t actually know what we will be up to, but there’s usually a project happening…

    Welcome to the Happy List! We’ve got one week until Christmas Eve! Nobody panic. Unless you still have all the things left to do before Christmas arrives. Then you might want to start panicking just a little. This week on the blog was all about Christmas trees. The tree in our living room is snow-flaked themed and then we also have trees in our bedrooms. Those are my favorite. If you don’t follow along with us on Instagram or Facebook stories, please consider this your official invitation! There’s usually a project happening on stories.
