TWO.

I enrolled my middle in preschool for the next school year.  And it felt so good.  I have been homeschooling my kinder and my 3 year old, along side of mothering my walking, into everything toddler.  My husband and I went into this journey knowing that at the end of each year we would reevaluate what was best for the girls and for me, their mom and teacher.  I have realized this year, the value of having a community to help bare the load and also speak into their education.  So we enrolled her at our favorite preschool here in town and she and I both are really excited. 

THREE.

I loved the Oscars this year.  I thought Ellen was the funniest person. Ever.  And I thought the whole night was fun and entertaining.  I especially loved the acceptance speech of these two...

One dedicated his success to God and the other inspired dreamers everywhere.  Love that.

FOUR:

Here was my popular Facebook post of the week...

I actually posted this at the very beginning of the Oscars.  I found myself looking at all of the glitz and glam and finding discontentment in how I looked.  It probably would have helped if I had been able to shower that day.  The life of a stay at home mom.

FIVE:  

Family Beach Day.  It was finally above the 60 degree marker last Sunday in this beach town, so we headed there straight after church.  My it's been a long winter.  Of course Winter came storming back this week.  However that little taste of Spring keeps me excited for the wait.

And thanks to Darci, April, Christina, and Natasha for hosting all of this fun!

I am so grateful for the things that God has gifted me with, but let me tell you... when He made me, He left out one important skill.  Cooking.  When I am in the kitchen, I am like a fish out of water.  It is just not where I am made to belong.  I have come to terms with it.  Success just doesn't come naturally to me when its time to feed all of the "hungries" living here.
Unless...
I familiarize myself with the recipe, have my ingredients before hand and have the kitchen to myself without any distractions.  And possibly some prayer.  Much needed prayer.  So to sum that up...
In order for me to have success in the kitchen, I must HAVE A PLAN.

Well folks, that is what a Design Board is.

How many of you have spent countless hours moving things around to do it all over again the next day and still not be happy with the outcome?  Or have you spent hours staring at the decor or sofa chair in the store, all to never make a decision because you just can't visualize how it will look or fit in your space?  Or even worse, how many of you have spent the money on what you thought would look great in your home, all to be displeased with your purchase?

And then there are those few that have completely said the heck with decorating their space because it causes more frustration than joy? 

If you have answered yes to any of those questions, you are like me standing in the kitchen with the wrong ingredients and no recipe. 

You need a plan.

That is what I want to do for you.  I have began what is called "Design Packages" for a few clients who have reached out to me through This Whole House Facebook Page.  Basically how this works is, you send me pictures and possibly measurements of your space, answer a few questions from me and I in return send you back a Design Package full of decor' ideas, shopping list and advice on how to declutter or rearrange your space.  

What you are left with is an awesome plan for your space without all of the headache and money over spent of doing it yourself.  You have basically hired someone to design your space virtually.  Without someone ever stepping foot into your home and the effort of just a few simple clicks of a camera.

So to help me get started... Cause pretty soon I will be charging for this service,
I want to give away FIVE FREE rooms of design.  

That means FIVE people get to have one room in their home set up to have an amazing facelift.  

All you have to do is...
1.  LIKE our Facebook Page
2.  Become a Follower of this blog (right hand column).

These two simple task will help promote This Whole House and will help me out a ton.
Please share with your friends and I look forward to helping some peeps with their space.

Here are some examples of Design Boards.  You will receive the Design Board, along with a detailed description of where to shop and ideas of rearranging and decluttering your space.  I fully believe that everyone, even myself, needs a fresh set of eyes when it comes to your home.
