My girls... when I make their beds, this always catches my eyes.  I want to spend my days as their mom always reminding them that they are a princess in the eyes of their King.  Another reason why I make their beds with a smile.  I want them to feel loved and special even in the small things.  

THIS WEEK (March 2nd) begins our very first blog series called Inspire Me.  I am asking that you help me to inspire others by submitting your DIY projects and How-To's and/ or any Inspirational Stories and Testimonies of how God has used you for His Kingdom.  More details are found (here).

Email me your entries (here) and let's INSPIRE.

TWO:

 I received an email a few weeks ago from a desperate mama seeking help about "how to homeschool" with such crazy little ones running around.  I laughed because before every "perfect" picture like this one... there are about 20 storms that have taken place previously.  Of course I had some strategies and advice, but my main advice... Prayer and Survive.  Homeschooling is one of the hardest things I have ever committed myself to do.  Sure, it is rewarding and I love it, but there are so many moments when I almost lose my mind.  The important thing is don't pretend you have it all together... reach out to one another.  I valued my conversation with this other mama and it brought so much freedom in my own homeschooling journey.

THREE:

This was me delivering my design ideas to one of the most awesome clients ever!!  I was excited to say the least.  My favorite part was seeing the relief when they realized that there was a "plan" in place for their home and that they could actually love what they see in their space.  Their home was a mixture of hand-me-downs and nothing truly reflected their personalities.  I love to bring a combination of new ideas and some DIY ideas to the design board.  Designing a new space doesn't have to break the bank and I love watching a space transform using things you already have.  A touch of paint, repositioning furniture and decluttering can do wonders for your space.  Plus a good Yard Sale and the use of Craigslist is the perfect way to clean your pallet and earn the extra money for the new pillows and lamp shades you want.  

FOUR:

Thursday was End It Movement Day...  A day to stand for the end of all human trafficking.  Yes people, it still goes on and it happens right here in the good ole USA.  It's time we wake up.  Our whole family is #InItToEndIt.  We marked a red X on our hands to represent that were were standing against trafficking, along with thousands of others.  The End It Movement on Instagram was so awesome to see. There are several anti-trafficking organizations for you to get involved in.  Awareness and prayer is one way that you can help NOW.

FIVE:

And can anybody say, 20 days till Spring?!?!?  Enough said.

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

Here's my five...

ONE:  This was my hubby watching the Duke game using FaceTime with some of our very good friends who actually have Cable.  Bless him.  He doesn't ever complain.  He is such a trooper.  

My Instagram feed followed with the #abundanceiscoming and I truly believe that.  

It's coming.

THREE:  My Wade Nagy started a new Community Group at church.  Kingdom Come. 

 Based on 1 Corinthians 4:20 #lesstalkmorepower

That's me doing a hashtag sign and Wade Nagy a peace sign... he must have missed the memo.

FOUR:  This is me looking at design pics and ideas hoping that one day God would make my need to design, help others and constantly turn other peoples trash into treasure into my DREAM job. 

FIVE:  And this is the vanity of my very first design client.  Remember #FOUR?!?  

Yes... God has some very cool things going on in the Nagy Household.  Remember the hashtag abundance??  Oh yea...  Living the dream is abundance.  Doesn't always have to be about money.  

Abundance is doing what you love and leaving behind the things you don't.  

Keep Dreaming.

Oh, and did I mention that This Whole House had it's very first giveaway winner?!?

And this is what happened when I took her "ball"...aka Apple, from her hands.

However, Monday and Tuesday were much more successful...

and then the rest of the week was interrupted with some fun snow days.

TWO:  

With my successful students working so diligently, I even had time to make these delicious things.  

Paleo Almond Cookie Dough Balls.  

Holy heavens they are scrumptious. 

You can find other fabulous recipes from my favorite food blog (here).  Be sure to read her stuff... she is an Insightful Health coach and if you are looking to improve your health journey, she's your gal.

THREE:  

I redid a curtain rod in less than 5 minutes.  From a plastic brown to a fab silver rod.  You can read about this redo (here) and be sure to enter the FREE Give-A-Way for your own DIY silver gilder's paste.  Only a few days left till the winner is selected.

FOUR:  

You see that book on the left?  Well, that is an old school book, like for real old school, from my grandma, that was actually written from John Deer himself.  And you see that cutie on the right?  Well, she's the one that has been tearing out all of the pages from this book for weeks.  I finally went to move it from her reach and realized who the author was.  Leave it to the Nagy's to probably have the one valuable thing in our home destructed by the 18 month old.  oops.

You can read more about how This Whole House celebrated this wintery mix on our Sunday Post.  

We hope you will join us Sunday to see how we brought a little bit of redneck to this classy town.
