About 2 months ago, we moved into our 9th rental. This time, we're living in the beautiful historical 2-story homes aboard Camp Lejeune in North Carolina! 🏡

Behind the scenes, I've been BUSY getting settled in and knocking out some BIG impact projects. (I can't wait for you to see! 🤗) But before I begin sharing everything here, I want to show you what I'm starting with!

Over on the blog, I have a full "before tour" of our "new" home, including over 100 photos and a full video walk through!

I hope you can stop by to check it out; then stay tuned for all the transformation starting next week!

Yep, that's our "new" kitchen 👆😩⁣
⁣
Someday…SOME DAY…I will have a kitchen full of white cabinets and white counters and a white backsplash. 🙏⁣
⁣
But alas, we have moved into our 6th consecutive rental with honey oak kitchen cabinets. 🙄⁣
⁣
You’d think by now I’d be a pro at decorating a kitchen full of orange cabinets. But I'm not. ⁣
⁣
So this time, I’ve done some research to figure out what kitchen color schemes work with honey oak cabinets and which ones don't. ⁣
⁣
I'm sharing everything I learned today on the blog!⁣

Making labels with my Cricut machine is my FAVORITE hobby 🤩...seriously! 🤓 And one of the easiest ways to make gorgeous custom labels is by using Cricut Pens!

But like anything with your Cricut, figuring out Cricut Design Space is where most people get stuck...especially when it comes to using pens! 😩

So today on the blog, I'm breaking down ALL the steps for making Cricut Pens...and even showing how my pretty new medicine cabinet labels turned out!

Happy September, friends! 😃 What a difference a few months make! As opposed to when I wrote my July Coffee Break, I’m now (mostly) settled into our new home, all three of my kids are off at full time school/care, and I am back in my happy place…either behind my Cricut machine, with a paint brush in my hand, or sitting here typing to you! Our fresh start and our North Carolina life have finally, officially begun; and I’m so thankful to be bringing you a more upbeat, cheerful monthly update this time around! So if you too finally have some extra quiet time in your home, grab a cup of Joe and your favorite snack, and let’s catch up on life behind-the-blog. ☕️

Wondering how to cut chipboard using your Cricut? Chipboard has long been one of my favorite products for organizing and home decor projects because of its exceptionally sturdy weight. 🙌🏻 But since it can’t be easily cut with scissors, I always had to rely on whatever pre-made shapes and sheets I could find at the craft store. Now with the help of a Cricut Maker and Knife Blade however, you can cut chipboard into (almost!) any shape you can think of. Today, I want to show you how to cut chipboard on a Cricut Maker, and share some tips and tricks that can help your projects turn out just right! 😃⁣

Along the years, I've set up four different playrooms across four different homes; and based on the size and layout of each particular space, we’ve implemented a wide variety of toy storage solutions. 🤖🧸🚂 Hopefully the methodology and systems I’ve used get you well on your way to organizing your playroom so that it perfectly suits you, your family, and your home! 🙂
