Notes From the Nest

January feels like it should be this slow, cozy, calm month after the holiday rush. Yikes…not for our crew! We celebrated Harrison’s 10th birthday this week and Payton’s 16th birthday is today! (Give them birthday wishes!!!) So it’s been another busy one around here…

I hope you enjoy the Notes From Our Nest this week!

Around Our Nest:

Our kids enjoyed Spirit Week at school. Cue all of the odd outfits, props, accessories! They have so much fun but I don’t mind to get back to uniforms this coming week. Just sayin’.
Our girls attended a weekend Youth Retreat with our church youth group. Florida IS the sunshine state. However, central Florida can really dip in temperatures. Their temps out there camping went below 40, I believe. I think they will be happy for their warm and cozy beds tonight!!!
While the girls were away, my guys and I spent a lot of the weekend cleaning out and reorganizing the garage. It really has never been done since our huge renovation. So, we took advantage of a cool and sunny winter Saturday. We all still love each other; enough said?!?! Who can relate to strongly disliking this needed job?!
I also cleaned out Harrison’s closet. Seriously, can the moms of boys tell me how this is supposed to work? His new jeans that I got at Thanksgiving are way too small already. How can this even happen so fast?!
As you can see, we’ve been living the exciting life over here. Haha! Seriously, though, I’m thankful for time we could set aside to work on these projects. It helps clear the mental clutter as well as the physical clutter!

Around the ‘Gram This Week:

It was kitchen week around Instagram this week, at least for Robyn’s French Nest! I love doing this each year because it kind of forces my hand to do some cleaning out, decluttering, and reorganizing. I added some awesome new organizers that I’m loving and did just some simple little refreshes for decor. Catch the tour HERE!
I also shared a close up still picture on THIS post so you can see the details of my dining room shelf styling. I am loving the winter whites, soft glow, and simple styling. Hopefully this gives you some inspiration for your own shelves this season!
Stories have been hopping with some sales as well as answering questions from you all! I try very hard to get to my Instagram DM’s, so if you have a question, send it there and I’ll try to answer you!

Aren’t these candles the best?
These cup & mug hooks have revolutionized my shelf space. And they’re on over 40% right now!
