You’ve probably lost count of the times you have given your son a simple command, like “Go clean your room,” only to find him (minutes later) jumping on his bed, surrounded by toys. Obviously no cleaning has occurred. Instead, like every time before, he got sidetracked. Distracted. It’s challenging to help our energetic, easily distracted, […]
This is a partnered post with Wayfair. Back to school time this year marks the first time I’ll be on my own in almost six years. Both boys will be in school three days a week, which gives me three days a week to remember what it was like to be alone, without cute little […]
When you furnish your home, you tend to think in matching sets, but sometimes you just want to mix it up a little bit with different pieces you love. Or you have a bit of a bohemian heart and like the eclectic look. Or you simply fall in love with a rogue piece that you […]
My home could use some updating for sure. Looks like they have some cute stuff.
Cute and chic living room furniture. That rug would definitely make the room pop!
These are such fantastic pieces. I love that lamp and the area rug is beautiful.
Such nice things. There is a piece or two I would like to have.
I am really digging that rug! My bedroom really needs the makeover in the house. I am sure I could find some nice things there to help spice it up a bit!
I love all the pieces you showcased! The nesting tables are so discreet I didn’t even realize they were nesting tables. Can’t wait to see the finished product!
Those are all beautiful pieces! My living room is pretty set, but I am in the market for a new desk. I need a little more storage space for all of my stuff!
I love a great blend of classic antiques and modern chic! It really adds a touch of class to a room!
What gorgeous items. You know, I need a lamp for my living room, the lighting is not very good in the evening.
What a great place to find furniture and accents for a room makeover. I love your choices, especially the accent chair.
I really like all of these furniture pieces. The leather trunk is my favorite!
The smell of morning coffee is a favorite aroma for many of us to wake up to, and is often what helps us get our day started. Coffee is rich and delicious, so it’s no surprise that it’s the preferred beverage of millions of people. The love of coffee, however, has been elevated to an […]
I absolutely love these! I’ve got to get some frames and put these all around my desk. I’m in love with coffee.
Love it, love it, LOVE it! I’m a mess until I have my liquid energy for the day.
What fun printables! I will have to direct all my coffee loving friends this way so they can print them out for their kitchens.
I love the friendship printable. So adorable. I am a coffee lover, but I have to limit it to one cup, in the morning only. Otherwise, I am up all through the night. I love tea, and thankfully, I dont have the same problem with it.
I have a t shirt that says “all i need is coffee and mascara’ Love it! I will have to print that one out and frame it!
Oh those are great 🙂 I have one hanging in my coffee bar that says “Given Enough Coffee, I Could Rule the World” 😉
Awe, how fun are these? I know just the friend to print and frame them for!
Coffee and I have an intense relationship so I definitely understand the love. I take my daily cup black but do enjoy flavored creamer in an after dinner cup as a treat.
I love all the printables. I will put some of these by the coffee pot at work.
Caramel Macchiato is my fave. Love the printables
I just recently became more of a coffee drinker. I love caramel and hazelnut!
I just love these coffee printables! I cannot get my day started with out at least 2 cups!
This is super adorable, I love these printables!
I have some fun frames that I made and then painted and this printouts would make a great gift inside those frames. Would be great in a gift basket with coffee items!
Both are so cute. I’m not a coffee drinker but I love that one. I will have to print it for a few people I know!
We use the International Delight creamers a lot in our home. They have so many tasty flavors to choose from.
Ooh, I love that idea, a coffee gift basket with the framed printables!
I couldn’t face the day without a warm cup of coffee! I don’t know if I could live without it!
I’m a huge coffee drinker, and LOVE ID creamers! And that mascara printable? Going up in my office, SO cute!
this would be cute over our coffee bar at work. i might surprise my boss with this
Mmm, coffee. Must have to start my day, or the day goes quickly south! Love these printables!
Haha! I love that saying. Thanks for the printable!
Myrtle Beach is a wonderful family travel destination, and if our fun time at the Embassy Suites Oceanfront Resort and our waterpark adventures and evening at Medieval Times didn’t convince you, let me share what other fun activities and places we enjoyed during our stay at Myrtle Beach, South Carolina! Ripley’s Aquarium We visited the […]
Myrtle Beach is a great vacation spot! I’m due for a trip there! You got some amazing photos!
That upside down building with the trees growing downward is so cool. Fantastic news always to call a friend and find out they are literally blocks away and will come to see you. Thanks for the great pictures and descriptions of interesting things to see in Myrtle Beach SC.
Myrtle Beach is a great place for families. We love the aquarium.
These are great tips. I have a child who is always distracted, and I have to continually have to help her refocus.
These are great tips! My nephew has problems focusing so I’ll be directing his mum to this post.
My little man has major focus issues. We really have to work hard with him,
This is great. I have a few very energetic kiddos and I always have to work with them and get them to be patient, and just focus!
These are great tips. When my son was little we would give him one task at a time. That seemed to work better for him.
Channeling a distracted child can be so frustrating. Love your idea of having them repeat after me.
These are some really helpful ideas. It was hard to get my kids to focus on uninteresting subjects.
Being consistent is key. Removing distractions is great
My grandson has problems focusing. These are some great tips. Thank you. I am going to show these to his parents and see what if they will follow through with them.
Great recommendations!
I use the “shoes” and timer a lot.
When ever applicable I use analogies to sports that he likes. When I don’t want any whining I tell him I am the ice hockey ref. He knows full well that arguing with the ref results in a penalty 😉
