My 2021 Home Centered Goals

I love, love, love setting goals.  Every December during the hustle and bustle of the holiday season I start to dream of fresh starts and look forward to the new year.  I start to envision my new year resolutions and all the possibilities.  And of course, since my home matters, and curating the home I love is so important to me, home centered goals are always part of my new year planning.

5 Ways To Curate a Cozy Winter Home

How do we create a cozy winter home?  Today I'm sharing with you 5 ways to make that happen in your home. 1.

Here are a few way to keep the meals we feed our guest simple. Meals || Simple Dinner:  If dinners are overwhelming to you, keep them super simple.  Pizza & tossed salad are a lovely meal.   Everyone loves pizza, kids will be happy, and it is a casual meal that brings people together.   Pick up a prepared meal from Costco, we love the Chicken Pot Pie or their Orange Chicken.  Add a couple easy sides and you are set.   Make something that you know will turn out and that you are confident sharing.  Spaghetti, taco soup, barbecuing hamburgers and hotdogs, any meal that feels easy to you.  It doesn't have to be … [Read more...]
