Have you ever thought to greet your home the minute you walked into it? Or have you thought to say thank you to your shoes for their hard work at the end of the day? Probably not, correct? Well I just read this book, The life-changing magic of tiding up   the Japanese art of decluttering and organizing,  and it has opened my eyes to the way I live and the items I choose to surround myself with. Have you read this book? The author, Marie Kondo, has created her own method to tidying up and has named it, the KonMari Method. The KonMari Method is a new way (at least for me) to  tidy up.  Marie even refers to this method as the same as meditating by a waterfall, which totally intrigued me since I really enjoy meditating. So the minute after reading this book I was super pumped to start tidying up our home. The KonMari Method of tidying means to take each item you own in your hands and ask yourself whether in sparks joy in your heart and then decide on whether or not to k...

I'm not sure exactly why but as soon as Christmas is over I go into full-on organizing mode.  I start cleaning out all of our closets and drawers and filling up boxes and bags of stuff to donate.

Hi Friends! So I was invited by a couple of blog friends to take part in a new Instagram tag called #HomeYouHave. By the way, do you follow me on Instagram ? If not, be sure to, I love posting behind the scene pictures and updates that you don't see here on the blog. So #Homeyouhave is all about working with what you already have to bring new life to your spaces. This is something I do a lot of if you haven't noticed already. I tend to carry my beloved treasures with me all around our home. Every week, Monday through Friday on Instagram we have a new challenge and invite you to share your spaces using the hashtag #homeyouhave, and then on Sunday we choose a favorite.  Fun right? So last week the challenge was Dresser Tops, which I was so happy about because my dresser was needing some much needed attention. I gave Myself a challenge and really had fun creating this Bohemian jewelry display. I started off just revamping my dresser top giving it some organization that it was lack...
