Today I am sharing how I am getting organized in our home and getting inspired for our life. A few weeks ago I shared how I needed to renew, refuel & revitalize myself {you can read the post here}.
I’m happy to say that I’ve made huge strides and I’m feeling groovy.
Last month the Masterpiece veggie garden was planted for the season and you can read all the benefits here.
We have been enjoying fresh lettuces and herbs from the garden for over a month now.
My tomatoes are starting to take off and I can’t wait to taste them.
All the container gardens are also well on their way.
I’ll be sharing them in more detail real soon.
My enamel bowl full of succulents is one of the few that make it through the winter outside.
Every summer I just add a few new plants to fill it out fully.
I love the rusty patina on this old guy.
Bring the outside in to brighten the house its also a favorite at this time of year.
Mr. Masterpiece got me these beauties at the farmer’s market that add sunshine to our kitchen table.
I shared in this post all the nature I’ve added inside the house.
I’ve also been fluffing the house to ease into summer with a casual and relaxed vibe, which I shared here.
Not only have I been making the house pretty but I am also on a mission to add functionality & practicality.
I cleaned out the family room of old books, games, and just unnecessary “stuff”.
You know the stuff that clutters your life, brain and well being.
I haven’t done a good purge of this stuff in awhile and the kids are getting older so there was a ton of “stuff” we weren’t using anymore.
All the board games and family entertainment have been organized into my stack of old suitcases.
I went the extra step to label all the suitcases so that everything has a home.
This way things are easy to find AND they get put back in their respective homes.
Not only does it give me some peace of mind but I love how the tags look.
It adds to the travel feel of the suitcases.
Since I did this we have been playing games together as a family much more which is perfect timing for summer fun!
Pretty AND practical. I love it.
In fluffing our nest, I’ve revisited my old home organizational system.
It has totally invigorated me and inspired me to tackle so many projects.
I’ll share my system in more detail real soon.

It helps me organize, clean, decorate and plan my home, family and lifestyle in a way that brings me peace of mind.
Not only will I share how it works for me but I will also share all the projects big and small I’m accomplishing.
It’s so inspiring to feel accomplished and in control.
Happy Life!
