[sneak peek]

I’m supposed to be unpacking and organizing but today I yield into temptation to make a miniature Valentine’s Day banner.

This will be available in my Etsy shop soon.

Happy Friday everyone! J

ps. I haven't decided which other color I'll make this. Feel free to leave a comment if you'd like to see it in another color. Maybe I'll pick the color that was requested the most.

This guy is amazing! You gotta watch him!

Sorry that I don’t have any renovation/new home pictures yet. Life is super busy right now trying to get organized.

I can’t believe how much I already love our new home. Even though couple of walls still need to be built. Even though the front entrance is missing the tiles. Even though the railing and the front door are still yucky. Even though the light fixtures haven’t been changed yet. Even though the fire place needs a makeover still. Even though the basement is full of stuff to be unpacked and put away.  Even though the new windows still need to be put in. Etc.

I don’t know what’s up but I’m in love with this house. I feel like smiling all the time when I’m here. I love the paint colors I chose. I love the openness (we took down some walls). I love that there is no yucky wall-to-wall carpet anymore. I love my built-in-vacuum. I love. I love. I love.

Even the smelly washer or leaking dishwasher hasn’t dampened my spirits.

I’m just in awe that a home made in my style can make me so happy. I feel like smiling all the time.

Happy sigh.

What’s making you happy right now?

Still lots to do to get organized in our new home but I wanted to share these free Project Life journaling cards with you.

Happy Monday everyone! J

[just a quick hi]

"You are doing the best at packing Mommy. Ceep (keep) it up!" 

This past month has been crazy to say the least!

Packing and hauling boxes to the point we never want to see another moving box in our lives.

Cleaning, organizing.

All that while doing major renovations to our new home.

Never again! Please just shoot me if I ever mention “we should move” again.

We are still not done. More renovating waits here in our new home. Everything is still a big unorganized mess (did I mention we have way too much junk?).

I can already tell though that we are going to love our new home. Despite all the unfinished things, this house already feels like a home.

I must say I quite enjoyed stocking my new pantry shelves today. Pull out drawers make it so easy to reach everything and keep things organized.

[you have to watch this!]

I only do stuff like this on the first and third Tuesday of the month.

I give this book «««½ out of five stars.

A futuristic twist on a classic fairy-tale. Enjoyed it.

Have you heard about the legend of Mokiki?
