Making a House a Home Part I

April 4, 2011 | Uncategorized

 

Catching up from the weekend? It was a great one! Saturday we spectated at a Triathlon, and yesterday my parents came for a visit!

It’s Monday AGAIN?!? it’s gloomy and windy here, it is supposed to rain later. I don’t mind the rain but hate the wind/tornados that always seem to come with it! I have been busy working on quotes for clients this morning from Disney to Sandals to cruises! Fun stuff! I am about to start LEVEL TWO of the 6 pack in 6 weeks video. No 6 pack yet…I am still hopeful!

As promised, I have some new house pictures for you. Basically, I took pictures of the only clean/rooms without boxes! Everything is still not how I want it…I haven’t been able to buy anything I want for the house (decorations, curtains, etc.) Maybe someday! But this is what I have “done” so far…

Downstairs guest bath

I am also pretty much done with the laundry room. I still don’t have the sink area how I want it, but it’s getting there.

 

we hang our keys on the black key hanger, and I keep my purse up there as well, so when I come home through the garage (to the right of laundry room) I can drop my stuff right there! The girls wanted to be in the picture, too.

This is part of the living room, the back corner that we weren’t sure what to do with!

Bella says hi

it was a beautiful day so I also took some outside pictures…but will save those for another day this week!

The wind is REALLY picking up here. Yikes! Ok I am off to do my workout and get that 6 pack! Have a great day everyone!

QOTD: What do you do to make your house/living space more “homey?”

    That is a sweet shower curtain in the guest bath!

    I’m horrible at making our apartments/townhouses homey. I don’t like putting forth the effort when I know with in the next 12-24 months we will be moving again. I’m too cheap to spend the money on anything that we will only be using for a year (assuming it won’t work the next place). I’ve hung some photos in our place but really, that is about it. Oh, and I’m attempting to keep plants alive…success so far!

    Awesome!!! We just moved into a new townhouse about 1.5 weeks ago and it’s been HELL unpacking! Haha. We have every room unpacked but the two “extra” rooms which basically just have a bunch of junk stuffed in them.

    I just keep reminding myself it’s a process and doesn’t have to happen all at once!

      thats exactly how ours is. the two extra bedrooms (guest room and office) are still quite cluttered, but I can just shut those door and not look haha!

    Wow, everything is coming along so nicely 🙂 I make my house homey by throwing my junk around; kidding! I actually needed my mom to decorate because I have zero domestic genes!

When the Smoky Mountain heat gets unbearable, we h When the Smoky Mountain heat gets unbearable, we head to Pigeon Forge Snow. ❄️ #sponsored 

One of our favorite family activities in Pigeon Forge because you can snow tube year-round, rain or shine, without worrying about the weather outside. 

My daughter could do the tubing hill over and over, and the indoor snow play area makes it even more fun. Honestly such a good break from the summer heat. Plus, it’s super close to nearby attractions like Dollywood and several mountain coasters.

Here is my favorite in park Disneyland character e Here is my favorite in park Disneyland character experience: The Plaza Inn character breakfast. Here are a few things to know:

✨ Meet Minnie before you even enter the restaurant and get photos with her + a photopass photographer. 
✨ Food is all you can eat. Minnie waffles, bacon, eggs, pastries, fruit, and more!
✨ Multiple characters visit your table throughout the meal.
✨ Reservations are a must and can book up quickly!

This was such a fun way to start a park day and meet several characters without spending part of the day waiting in character lines.

👉🏻When you book your vacation with @bestdayevervacay, they handle all your dining reservations for you so you don’t have to worry about it! It’s such a great perk and one you don’t have to pay extra for! Check out the 🔗 in my bio to learn more. (Affiliate)

Getting in a walk or run when I can. Actually drinking my water. Sticking to a skincare routine instead of overthinking it. Paying attention to my hair and scalp instead of just throwing it up and moving on. Nothing extreme, just consistency in the basics.

I’ve also been using Mochi Health for personalized skincare and hair support, and it’s made it way easier to stay on track without guessing what my skin or hair needs.

We stopped in the Smoky Mountains for one of the m We stopped in the Smoky Mountains for one of the most unexpected food experiences… where Tennessee whiskey doesn’t just stay in the glass, it shows up on the plate. #Corktoforkpartner 

Dancing Bear Appalachian Bistro took part in Cork to Fork on the Tennessee Whiskey Trail, and every bite felt like a love letter to local flavor. From bourbon-glazed pork belly to a warm cinnamon-bourbon bread pudding that honestly didn’t stand a chance at our table… this was one of those meals you remember.

Mountain views, chef-driven dishes, and whiskey worked right into the menu in the best way. 😋 

If this is what “one stop” on Cork to Fork looks like… I’m curious what the rest tastes like! Head to the website ( 🔗 in bio) to learn more about the trail and download your free digital passport! @tnwhiskeytrail

Lately I’ve been using personalized skincare through Mochi Health and it’s been so much easier having products targeted to what my skin actually needs instead of just guessing every time I break out.
