When I was in the beginning process of creating my own planner, I would just design one week sheets like this and try out different versions. I’d stick the weekly planning sheet into a clipboard and I was ready to organize my week! I took the planner design and used it to create this planning […]
Master Bedroom Tour (Texas Room #2)
I’ve shared so many different master bedrooms over the years that I can’t keep naming them the NEW tour. We’ll just call this the 2nd master bedroom we’ve had since we moved to Texas. You’ll notice a lot of my furniture is actually identical to what I had back in 2012 when I started the […]

I realize that while many readers have been around for a long time (I know who you are and love to see the familiar names on comments and messages), I also realize that the declutter challenge brings lots of new people to my blog each year. I wanted to take a chance to say hello […]
