Welcoming February

Ok...so I might be a little too early, but who cares....I love decorating and what fun it is to decorate our home with LOVE.....

Our wishing trees from our wedding typically have the wishes from our family and friends hung; but every now and again I change it up a bit hanging seasonal décor.

Next month is Valentines Day, so changed it accordingly.....

Home Decor and Declutter - So many ways to organize

Well the holiday's are over and it's time to take down all Christmas and New Year's Eve Décor.  What better way than to redecorate with daily reminders.......

I'm always changing things up a bit, keeping my daughters entertained and reminding them of life's simple rules. . . 

Also, I hate clutter...so here are a few simple ideas to "hide" a few things used daily.......


Bookcase - obviously holds books, but the bins on the last shelf store crayons, markers, paper, scissors and all other craft supplies -Nice and Neat.  Also the hat box on the floor to the right, stores all of our winter hats, gloves, scarves.  The old briefcases on the floor under the TV electronics hold in/out going mail in one and the other holds extra cords, extra remotes, etc.
 

Our Daily Reminders.....and below is another reminder in our kitchen....I tend to change Chef Perez's reminder every other day, the girls get a kick out of it. 
 





 

Christmas & New Year Decor

Bringing in the New Year in our household must look fab and have some meaning to remember the old and bring in the new.  Here are a few decorations and New Year's quotes I had printed and displayed around the home.
