Home Decor 101.

Since Ross and I were married, up until a little after Claire joined our family, I have loved decorating our home. I was very particular about it, controlling even. When Ross came home from work or school and would put his keys on the kitchen counter instead of on the designated key holder, I would honestly be stressed out.

When the young men would come to collect fast offerings, they would comment on how "modern and cool" our home was, yet also "cozy." I took a lot of pride in our "modern, cool, yet cozy" home.

Since then though, I have relaxed and calmed down a significant amount Our home decor currently consists of cheerios strewn about the floor.


And mountains of laundry amid the valley of Claire's toys which are almost never in her toy box. Of course some cheerios are mixed in there somewhere.


And I really gotta say I love every bit of it, down to the last cheerio and teething ring; though I can't wait for the money fairy to come back around and leave a little present so I can start more home projects.
