Introduction

 


Let me start by saying, I do not know the right answer about anything. I only know My right answer about everything. Those answers could be wrong. Those answers will probably change over time. They could be right for you, or they could be very different. We all only know the answers that are right for us, or we don’t have any answers at all. 


My first thought when sharing anything about myself, and the way I go about things, is no one cares. However, someone might. I know I find myself loving others content about cleaning, self help, home organization. Any time I purchase a product that I need for a very specific reason I search the internet for any information, and real pictures to decide if it's really what I need. In addition to all of that, I've been on a journey of self care and finding happiness the past two years. I think having a place to organization anything related to that will be very beneficial as I continue. My personal Instagram @berthomps is a place for only the imagines and things I love. It brings me joy every time I scroll through it, so that wasn't the place for this content. I also started one for my recipes @viewfromourtable. Go through and making a true "cookbook" I can pass on is a personal goal, so that and the blog that goes with it is helping with that project. This will be for the rest. All the things I love and use on a regular basis. Why I love and use those things. (I'm hoping sharing that will help me realize these things for myself). Things I do around the home, as far as cleaning organization. (I have a friend that finds these things useful so maybe others will too). I hope to share all the things I'm doing to truly get my things in order. I'm hoping to find balance in my life, between time for me, time for my family, and work. Lastly, I hope to find overall wellness mentally, and physically. I'm hoping that sharing helps achieve all those things.

Master of None Bedroom

 Have you heard the phrase? Jack of all trades, master of none. That is this Master Bedroom—the space in the house for my husband and me. When you’re living in just enough space, you make use of every inch. However, as you can see, we were not using it best. This music, craft, TV, and sleep space, complete with a late-night baby bottle station, really needed some help, considering how much time we spend here.  The main problem is in our hobby space. If you use the bedroom for working (even work you enjoy), it’s essential to keep it contained. You want to be able to put it away so that when it is time for bed, you can shut your brain off. (Or at least try). We had great bones. This desk I already owned was full of surface space. It allowed me to have my sewing machine set up all the time, with plenty of room for my cutter, computer, and a surface to paint when I tucked my laptop away. ( Ameriwood Home Dakota L-Shaped Desk ). Tucking my bulky Brother cutter in the corner made the spa...

Movie Night Birthday

When my daughter turned 8 she wanted to have her friends over to watch a movie. She had never had a big party with all her friends, so I was very excited to make this happen for her. The Dollar Tree came in handy for popcorn buckets and a variety of movie theater candy.  Amazon also has paper buckets. Amazon had a great selection of themed décor. We even used leftover table runners to line the walkway. ( Banner ,  Hanging Decor , Balloons ) We prefilled buckets with popped popcorn, and lined up the many popcorn salt varieties. Something that never occurred to me before the day, not all kids like popcorn. I would have had a backup up of chips and pretzels if I could do it again. There was also plenty of mini waters with all that salty food. We set up every seating option we could think of, so everyone could have a cozy spot. For a take home treat we sent popcorn, candy, and popcorn bucket’s. ( Clea...

The Townhouse

  I had always lived in rentals my adult life. I married young and my husband at the time was in the military. Never knowing if we were going to be sent somewhere new, the commitment of buying a house didn’t seem worth it. When my current husband relocated to his hometown, we followed. Initially we moved into the basement apartment of his mother’s house. We were very lucky for this opportunity. It allowed us to save money, which allowed us to have our youngest son. 1 year in, we knew we needed more space. Our oldest children shared a bedroom. When our son turned 7, that’s when we knew we had to start looking for a home.   We looked and looked and looked. We were not in the position financially to buy or build (the dream) our forever home. We just needed that third bedroom, and enough room for a hopeful baby. The townhouse felt right. It was just enough space. A perfect first home until we figured out exactly what we wanted. It was the newest of all the properties we visi...
