I've worked on Dax's room on and off and on again. I've purchased a few things here and there and rearranged and randomly bought a new twin bed at 1 am. But what I haven't done is sit down and think about what I want it to look like and then take intentional steps toward that goal. So this is me doing that. If you're planning a kid space, hopefully, you can glean some inspo!
I'm trying to be better at celebrating progress. I'm the type who accomplishes something and is immediately thinking about what I need to do next. Or wishing I'd done more. I'm working on giving myself a break and celebrating progress over perfection. You should join me! Let's kick it off by sharing the progress made in 2020. Despite all its drama, 2020 was a big year in many ways. It's the first time my sole job wasn't being a mom (since 2011!), it's the year I went from 2000 followers to 32,000, and it's the year I could finally stop using air quotes when I described the blog as my job. Here's what I did with a little more time on my hands, make that what WE did, as Joe and I 'stayed home' all spring.
You've heard me lament the process of meal planning and grocery shopping more than once, in stories. Well, I finally sat down and brainstormed ways to make the process easier- especially during this busy holiday season. And everything came up "have your groceries delivered." ha! I've been using Walmart Grocery Pick up for over a year but stopped short of paying for delivery each time. Now that they've introduced Walmart+, with one membership fee for the year, I can have my groceries delivered plus other benefits I'll share in a bit. But it's not just about groceries- although that's a BIG one. There are other ways I use it to mark things off my to-do list. Here are the little conveniences that add up with Walmart +:
Thank you, Wayfair for sponsoring this post!
Ever since the layered doormat trend, it feels like front porch decor has leveled up. Have you noticed? I'm seeing pillows, throws, stools, rugs, the works. And you know what? I'm not mad at it.

I've shared a few round-ups from Wayfair's Early Access Black Friday Sale over on Like-to-Know-it but figured I'd share here too. The sale includes a variety of categories, but since I've been on the hunt for bedding I decided to feed two birds with one scone and peruse that one! There are so many great bedding items that it was hard to narrow it down but I did the best I could. ;) I included some basics like a cozy throw, a down insert, and a mattress topper but focused on gorgeous quilts, comforters, and duvets, mostly. If you're readying your home for guests, comfy, cozy, and good-looking bedding is a must. You should know that prices are up to 80% off and shipping is FREE over $35! Now, take a look at these and tell me which is your favorite?!
