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!

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?!
