12 Months of Goals - February & A Fruity Valentine's Surprise!

Last year I set 3 goals every month for myself and I accomplished a lot! This year, I wanted to down play it even more and just set ONE goal for myself. However, with just one goal each month I hope to devote more time to it.

I did a little recap on January's Goal below, BUT if you visited the blog yesterday you saw that I did indeed get the IKEA Shelves decorated! It was a lot of work, so I thought instead of doing a home decor or improvement project this month (because I need a little break!) I'd do something I've been wanting to do awhile and that won't take as much time. 

Drumroll.

In February I want to learn more about my Apple Watch!

iWatch1_650Brian purchased an Apple Watch for me for my birthday last August and I just LOVE it! There are so many neat features on it, but yet there is SO much more that I haven't even figured out. I would love to take some time out this month to get to know my watch better. I would also love to share a post in February about what I've learned. And, if you are on the fence about getting an Apple Watch... OH my gosh! Just get it! You can thank me later. ;)


I also wanted to share a little Valentine's Day Surprise today!

Welch's sent me such a fun box in the mail. I seriously was so excited when I opened it and saw Welch's Fruit Snacks, heart doilies, ribbon, stickers, glitter glue, etc.

I wanted to share what my daughter and I came up with when we did a little crafting! Welch's Fruit Snacks make perfect Valentine's for classrooms, get-togethers, etc. I figured we could give these out to some of the kids on our block and add in a few other goodies with the Welch's Fruit Snacks. :)


Welch1The Welch's Fruit Snacks even have  a little area for you to write To: and From: to personalize them! The pieces are heart shaped and imprinted with emojis. The snacks feature fruit as a first ingredient and are perfect for Valentine's Day parties and celebrations.

Ok, and here is my January Goals Recap:

Here is a photo of how it looks now:

5 Ways to Bring Spring Into Your Home

The weather here in St. Louis has gone from 70 degrees to tornado watches/warnings and now to possible snow/ice this weekend. Whew! I am SO ready for Spring and for Daylight Saving Time. Today I'm sharing with you how to bring Spring to your home sooner with 5 Ways To Bring Spring Into Your Home . Bringing a little Spring into your home is rather easy. You don't need to change up your entire decor, at least not yet... What I try to do is add little touches here and there. 1. Spring Wreaths One way that I bring Spring into my home is by placing a Spring wreath on my front door or on some of the interior doors in the home. My absolute favorite Spring wreath that I've done is my Split Pea Wreath below, but I'm currently working on a Tulip wreath which I'll be sharing in a couple of weeks! I'm also sharing a couple of other Spring wreaths that I've made below: Split Pea Wreath with Burlap Bow Some other Spring wreaths I've designed:   Simple Spring Hoop Wrea...

Creating a Wider Doorway

My kitchen has no outside walls. That means it has no windows directly to the outdoors. UGH. I love light, I love sunshine streaming through windows and lighting up my house. This was not the case in my kitchen. Last year I renovated the space and added a pass through window in one of the walls.  Now the sun can reach the kitchen - hooray!!  But it is still not a terribly well-lit space. Cue my desire to open the wall between the living and dining rooms - the dining room is the brightest room in the house.  That, however, will be a big job because the wall is a supporting wall (at least I'm treating it that way, even if the building inspector didn't think it was).  I decided to tackle the opening from the living room into the kitchen instead since I know for sure that wall isn't supporting.
