Day Three :: Get Your Home Decluttered in 28 Days
Image courtesy of @Disney August 4th, 2014 “Find inspiration all around you from doorknobs to clocks to everything between” ~ @Disney This is so true! You can find inspiration to redecorate (and declutter) your house just about anywhere! I think that is why we all love Pinterest so much – there is so much to look at and get inspired by. I have a board just for things I dream about having – like a Hans Wegner Wishbone Chair or Eames Lounge Chair! A girl can dream! Today let’s work on the room that we usually don’t like going into – probably because we do a “chore” in there most every day. …

Day Two :: Get Your Home Decluttered in 28 Days
Today we will work on the front entryway – inside the home. Yesterday we worked on the front doorstep – raked leaves, pine needles, and cleaned things up front so when you come home the first thing you see is a shiny and clean front area. If you are inclined, why not get some inexpensive flowers at Home Depot or Lowe’s and plant them next to your door so they are the first thing you see when you leave the house and when you come back to the house. I really believe this sets the tone for your day! With this in mind – let’s do the front entryway inside…

Day One :: Get Your Home Decluttered in 28 Days
A few weeks back I had a friend come by who helped me rearrange my living area to be more open and inviting. She brought along a good friend of hers, Paul, who was visiting with his family from Ireland. She had told he had a knack for visualizing spaces and offered to help! I was game as I had wanted to rearrange our living area but didn’t know where to start. As they both set in to rearrange our living space, I started to look at our home with new eyes. He moved the table that we had set up for my daughter to use and play her LEGO’s on (yes, the container remained in our…

DIY Ideas for an Awesome Minecraft Party!
Each year my daughter and I talk about what type of theme she wants to have for her upcoming birthday party. Granted, we usually talk about the theme she wants right after her last party so we can prepare and think about it all year long! Yes, we get very excited about these parties and I have found Pinterest to be such a great resource. When she told me she wanted to have a Minecraft theme I set up a board, Kate’s 8th Minecraft Party, on Pinterest so I could pin all the fun ideas I came across on Pinterest throughout the year. About three weeks ago, she…

Ideas to Create Your Summer “Fun” List
Summer has officially started in our household! My daughter “graduated” from first grade and will be starting second in about four weeks (she goes to a year round so doesn’t have long breaks). I wanted to make a list of fun things to do this summer to help keep her busy and keep me sane. You know those days when you are thinking what shall we do today – without breaking the bank! Today I plan to make a list of things we would all like to do over the summer. I think the more free-flowing our suggestions are – the better – who knows what might come up that might…

Learning About Home Education at the 2014 CHEA Convention
We’ve decided to begin homeschooling our children in the fall and I’ve been diligently doing my research and getting to know the various big-names associated with homeschool education. In May, the Christian Home Educators Association (CHEA) hosted their 31st annual convention at the Disneyland Hotel. As part of the convention, new homeschoolers were invited to attend the first day free to take part in the Introduction to Homeschool conference and get a preview of the vendors in the exhibit hall. The conference was informative and covered a lot of the concerns about the legal issues involved and the steps you need to take to get started. …
