Progress on making a house a home! 🫶🏼🏠

What a beautiful day!

Random Thoughts

💭What's on my mind:

I’m loving making our house a home. From turning dirt to green, to ripping out cabinets and toilets. We’re doing it all together and making it our own and it feels so much more special that way! It feels good to be able to do all of this once again and work toward our dreams 🏠🫶🏼

Current Mood: Thankful / Motivated

... Read moreCreating a home is more than just decoration; it's about building memories and relationships. To make your house a home, start with small changes that resonate with your family. For example, think about how to integrate your personal style into the choice of colors and furniture. Embrace outdoor spaces by cultivating a garden or setting up a cozy patio area where family gatherings can take place. Don’t shy away from DIY projects, which can be fun and rewarding for everyone involved – from painting walls to building furniture from scratch. Remember, the heart of a home lies in its ability to nurture connections, so make it a point to incorporate shared experiences, such as family dinners or cozy movie nights. Also, consider decluttering to create a sense of harmony and space; it helps in making the area more enjoyable and accessible. Lastly, don’t forget to keep the emotional aspect alive by showcasing family photos, art, and mementos that tell your unique story. Together, these elements create an atmosphere that feels genuine and inviting, making it truly 'your own'.

How are you SAHMs making money from home?
I’ve been doing Benable for about a year. I enjoy doing it! It’s actually been fun for me. Pretty much all you do is make lists of items. My biggest lists are items for different seasonal gift baskets or gifts in general. I don’t make much but that’s entirely all on me. I don’t do any kind of marke

It is still a work in progress. Wall art + plants will be added throughout the home but we just moved in and I’m taking my time to find the right pieces. One cozy step at a time. I want pieces that speak to me and not just random things that were thrown together. #normalhouse #lemon8challenge

Have you stopped making progress?😬
Yes, there are rep ranges that are better for different goals/ results… but all of them will eventually STOP working when you use it for too long. Your body will adapt and you will eventually hit a PLATEAU in your progress. On average it takes our bodies 4-6 weeks to fully adapt to a new stim
