1. Favorite Place I Went this Month

This post was sponsored by UHS Window Tinting and Blinds, but all thoughts and opinions are my own.

You know when you’re driving at night, and you get a glimpse inside someone else’s home? Maybe you pass a house with blinds open and you can see inside to a dining room table, lit-up by a pretty light fixture hanging from the ceiling. Or maybe it’s a peek into a living room with comfy furniture and a throw blanket delicately draped over a chair. Maybe it’s a glimpse into a nursery, with a rocking chair in the corner next to a crib.

Whatever the scene, getting a peek inside someone else’s home always makes me feel warm in my heart. Thinking about the millions of families all over the world, snuggled up together inside their houses, living their lives, makes me smile.

Home is where the heart is. Home is family. Home is where your rump rests. Name that movie! (#disneynerd) I love our home, and I try to make it warm and inviting. Of course, these days, it’s usually trashed with kids toys. ‘Tis the season of life for that!

I’m the first to admit that I’m not great at decorating. (Or housework, but that’s another story.) I usually just buy what I like and hope it all fits together cohesively. I love lots of different styles and tend to stick to cooler colors. Lots of grays and blues! We’ve only been in this house two years, so I haven’t fully finished making each room look the way I want. I’m hoping that as the kids get older, I’ll be able to decorate more and actually finish some of the rooms.

I wanted to share a few pics with you of a couple of rooms in our home. I’d love to share a picture of every room, but most aren’t tidy enough to photograph, let alone post on the internet! (I’ll spare you the pics of the play room covered in toys and the bathroom that usually smells like toddler-pee, no matter how well I clean…) My kitchen is usually a wreck as well. As soon as I get the dishwasher filled up and started, another 10 dishes make their way into the sink. Same thing with the laundry room. With two kids, I doubt I’ll ever have all the laundry finished at once!

Anyway, enjoy this small peek inside our home!

Here’s our entry way. Since we usually come in through the garage, this space usually stays pretty clean. I love the floors and the light.
