DIY BOXWOOD WREATH

I always have the same problem every January, how to decorate our front porch after the holidays.

In no time at all we will be decorating for Valentines and Spring soon after, but for now I decided to use what I already had to make a new wreath for the front door.

ORGANIZING OUR PANTRY

With the new year underway, like many of you I have been busy organizing our home. 

 Our kitchen pantry is my first project every January since it can get pretty chaotic in there during the holiday season.

A couple of years ago I emptied the whole pantry, went to Dollar Tree and bought several plastic containers and gave my pantry a small makeover. I am happy to say this system has worked sooo well since then. 

It has proved to be very easy and convenient to put groceries away and keeping everything in place.

WELCOME EVERYONE!

We had another wonderful party last week.

It seems everyone is back in full mode decorating and organizing their homes after the holidays.

 Nicki at Sweet Parrish Place is in the process of remodeling her master bath and just added 
a beautiful hanging light.

Mindi at My Love 2 Create built a kitchen island with plenty of storage space. Love it!

SMALL CHANGES IN OUR HOME LIBRARY

Hello, everyone!

Since I got home from my trip overseas, it seems all I have done is try to catch up.

I was out of commission the first few days since the jet lag had me sleep half of the day and awake all night.

It is really weird when your body wants breakfast at 2:00 AM. :)

I seem to be back to normal now and I have spent the last week getting my home back in order after the holidays.

Although I have made several changes, I don't have all the rooms finished just yet. 
The older I get, the longer it takes me. :)

As I am trying to put some posts together, I realized I had not shared with you the changes I made to our home library right before Thanksgiving. With all the craziness I truly forgot!

TUESDAYS AT OUR HOME #143 & FEATURES

WELCOME!

Happy New Year, everyone!
I hope you all had a wonderful celebration. We enjoyed a very much needed quite time this past weekend. 
Spent it at home taking down the rest of the Christmas decor, trying to figure out what to do with a very 
empty house :) and just relaxing the rest of the time.  

This week is back to reality. We have officially survived the holidays, everyone is back to work today 
and we should all be back to regular schedules in a few days.

 And now it is time to take a look at last week features.

Laura at Inspiration For Moms shared a wonderful collection of healthy snacks under 150 calories. Great post!

 Brenda at Much More Creative  made a beautiful Winter owl sign.

If you need dinner inspiration, Crystal at Crystal & Co. shared 31 wonderful crockpot recipes. 

Sherri at To Simply Inspire made her own peppermint lip balm. 

 Virginia at Fynes Designs is making gorgeous decor items with her new scroll saw.

 Taylor at Pink Heels Pink Truck made Maple Bacon Cinnamon Rolls. They look delicious!

TUESDAYS AT OUR HOME #142

WELCOME!

It is so good to be back blogging!

I hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas.

It has been a super busy and exciting month for me. I am still trying to recuperate from my trip to Spain. 

What an amazing time I had!

 Just being able to spend ten days in beautiful Madrid and see my family and friends has been for me the best Christmas gift I could of ever got.

 The trip was long and exhausting, but so worth it. 

I arrived back in the States just in time to spend Christmas with my husband and kids. We had a fabulous and very special family time since this was also our grandson's first Christmas.

I am now dealing with jet lag. Not fun! The seven hour difference with Spain has really done a number on me.

Hope to get my hours back to normal soon. :)

Enough chit chat! Let get this party going.

MERRY CHRISTMAS!

I am back in the USA just in time to celebrate the holidays with my husband 

and children and wish you all a wonderful and blessed holiday season.

Merry Christmas, everyone!

CHRISTMAS AT OUR HOME

Any other time I would of shared our Christmas decorations in several different posts not to overwhelm you with pictures, but this year I just don't have the time to do that since I will be traveling to Spain in a couple of days and won't be back home until the night before Christmas.

Our Holiday decor this year is very, very simple and almost the same as last year. Between planning and cooking for Thanksgiving, Christmas shopping and getting ready for this trip, I feel like it is almost a miracle I was able to get the house semi-decorated for Christmas.
 

  So here it goes, our simply decorated 2015 Christmas home.

OUR NEW DINING ROOM

Hello everyone!

Hope your week is going well.

Today I am sharing our new and improved dining room.

We bought the furniture back in October after a long time looking for a set we both liked.
