We are so happy you are taking some time out of your day to spend with us!
You are appreciated more than you know!
We are excited about the start of a new year and can’t wait to share our projects with you!
What we’ve been up to this week
We spent New Year’s Eve at home with two of our boys and our youngest son’s high school buddies!
They are seniors in college now, and when they get together, it’s like they’ve never been apart!
The weather warmed back up, so they were able to have lots of fun in the sun!
They left for the airport late Tuesday night, and on Wednesday the Christmas decorations started coming down!
I was hoping I could say it was completed today, but no luck!
Oh well, that’s what happens when you put up five big trees and four small ones!!
My goal is to have it all put away by Sunday!
What we’ve been up to on the blog
If you were busy preparing to ring the New Year in and missed our posts last week, you can check them out now!
We’re always excited to start the new year off with the Winter Home Organization Challenge!
Every season of the year we challenge ourselves, and our readers, to set goals and get the house organized!
During Winter we will be organizing the “working zone” of our home, which includes the kitchen, pantry, office, paperwork, and laundry room!
Click here to get all the details and access our free printables to help you get your home organized!
I’m always sad after taking down the Christmas decor.
The house seems so bare!
To remedy that, I made some cozy home decor to warm up our living room for Winter!
Check out the post to see how I made three different types of decor out of my old sweaters!
