Master Bedroom Project [and the contentment vs. laziness struggle]
I'm excited to start a new project for 2022 - formally decorating our master bedroom! I've never truly decorated our master bedroom - it's just a mishmash of furniture and decor that I've collected.

I Can’t Do Everything, But I Can Do Something {Homemaking Encouragement}
As a homemaker who commutes to an office job each day, I often feel like I'm just barely crossing off my weekly to-do list before it's time to flip the planner page and start a new week.
