Happy Friday friends! I can’t believe the weekend is here. This week flew by so quickly! It felt really good to be home with my kids again after a week away. I’m excited for the weekend. Dinner with friends and A LOT of catching up around here. Mostly organizing.. so my kind of catching up. ;)

Hi friends! Back from Paris, France. We had an amazing vacation! I’ll fill you in later because today I’m joining 24 talented bloggers in a One Room Spring Tour! My sweet friend Kathleen from Lindsay Hill Interiors invited me to join the tour (you can head to her blog to see the tour from the beginning). Every day 5 bloggers are sharing a different area of their home decorated for Spring. So much inspiration! Today is all about living rooms.
The last time I shared pictures of my formal living room was in December decorated for Christmas. We are due for an update!

Bonjour friends! Eek! I’m in Paris, France! Biking through the French countryside and seeing things I’ve always dreamed of seeing! (Like those goats behind us.) ;) We are missing our kids, but having the best time. I just had to pop in and thank all of you again who gave us recommendations! You helped us plan such a fun trip! Sorry I’ve been slow to respond to comments and e-mails the past two weeks. It’s always busy getting ready to leave on a trip and since the day we arrived in France we have been going non-stop from sun-up to sun-down trying to see as much as we can of this beautiful city. I’ll share a few pics of our trip on Instagram and Facebook and of course be back next week with lots to share. Au Revoir! :)

Spring is here! Bring it on. It’s such a happy time of year. I don’t know about all of you, but every year when the beautiful blossoms start popping out on the trees I get the itch to get my house ready for Spring! I’m a nester at heart year round, but Spring seems to kick things into overdrive and really motivates me to get my house put together. These are the main things I do every year to spruce up my house and welcome this beloved season.

Happy Friday friends! What a week! I hope you all survived yours. I have some fun favorites to share today starting with these darling kitchen canisters from West Elm! 
I fell hard when I saw these and bought the Flour and Sugar canisters immediately! I don’t drink tea so I didn’t get that one, but what a cute set! They have one for coffee too! They add so much charm to my kitchen and are large and so nicely made. I’ll share more pics further back later but had to let you know about this fun find immediately. :) Did you all see what I did with the flour jar on Instagram? More on that in an upcoming post too! Let’s just say I’m in love with these jars and will be using them for many things! Not just to hold flour. :)

First of all.. thank you thank you to everyone who left Paris advice! I read every comment (so many great tips!) and my husband and I have been trying to plan so many things you all suggested. CAN. NOT. WAIT. :) Thank you! 
K. About a month ago I gave my fridge a good clean out. This is the before pic. Obviously. :) To be honest with you all, these pictures I’m about to share aren’t all that special or earth shattering. In fact, I came close to just not posting them at all. But then I thought about how for me, seeing pictures of a cleaned out space motivates me. Even when the after isn’t anything special or earth shattering. So maybe these pictures will motivate one of you to clean out your fridge? And maybe you will feel better after you do. And that will make happy. So I will now proceed with mediocre material. ;)

Happy Monday friends! I hope you all had a nice Easter weekend! Ours was great – a very full two days. Get togethers with friends both Friday and Saturday night, gymnastics for the kids, Kole’s birthday party, church on Sunday and a nice long walk with my husband. Now it’s suddenly Monday morning and I just got the kids off to school. I’m sitting in a very quiet, messy house. It’s cloudy and cool outside which feels so cozy and refreshing. I have a lot to do, but I’m just sitting on my couch for the moment looking out the windows and enjoying the silence. It doesn’t come around here often. :)

Sometimes when I feel overwhelmed with life and everything on my to-do list I have a little trick I do that helps. It’s a secret, but I love you all so I’m happy to share my secret with you. Ready for it? Here it is..

I have so many projects going on around my house right now my head is spinning. But it’s a good spin. :) My three main BIG priorities this year were to get our garage organized, my master bedroom decorated, and Kole’s bedroom decorated. All three of those projects are in motion right now (yea!). I’m also working on a spring table setting, multiple gallery walls, completely re-organizing my office, and I’m half way finished with my new system for storing kids’ school/art work. Oh! And it’s Kole’s birthday party this Saturday and Easter on Sunday. Add every day life with my kids to the mix and I might be going just a tad crazy right now! The funny thing is that I’m seriously itching to jump in and start organizing my closet. I might start tomorrow morning.

Friday is here! YEA. Thanks for the sweet comments on my recent Life Lately post. Hearing from you all makes my day and I love feeling like this is a safe place to share a peek into my life. The good and the hormonal. ;) Speaking of sharing, I have some fun favorites for you all today! I bought this black and white striped throw about a month ago and love it on my family room couch. After I added more black to my office I decided to try and bring black into a few other areas of my house.

Is it Wednesday already!? Thursday by the time you all read this. What a week! I keep thinking I’m going to have a slower week where I can “catch up” but I’m finally learning that no such week exists! At least in the stage of life I’m currently in with my kids. I was remembering today (while I was in my car for almost 6 hours straight driving kids to their various acivities) back when I was home with one baby searching for things to fill our days. That was a hard stage for me, but right about now I wouldn’t mind re-visiting one of those weeks. ;) Here are a few random phone pics of what we’ve been up to! Kids are finally feeling better and back at school. Having sick kids for over a week definitely makes you appreciate life when everyone is healthy and doing well!
