2020 Planner Round-up

Round-up: 2020 Planners

I am a paper planner and pend kind of gal. Don’t get me wrong – I also have an obsession with my digital calendar on my phone and the reminders! The reminders are a lifesaver! But everything comes back to what I plan out in my paper planner. Once I write things down in my planner I add them to my digital calendar and/or reminders on my phone. But ultimately my paper planner is the end all be all. I…

5 Tips to Reduce Clutter in Your Home - The Adored Abode

5 TIPS FOR REDUCING CLUTTER IN YOUR HOME

I am not a minimalist by any means, but I do love for my home to feel tidy and be free of clutter. I have always been a fairly tidy person, but I have my areas that tend to be dropping zones and accumulate all the things. Our office and basement are the main culprits. Since we have moved into our new house I have made great efforts to make our home as clutter free as possible. To me a…

5 Tips for Reducing Waste in Your Kitchen

Over the past few years I have been trying to educate myself on how to make my footprint on this planet a little lighter. The more I educate myself the more I feel empowered and invested to make changes for myself and for our home. I am starting with changes in our kitchen and wanted to share the changes I have implemented so far. This isn’t meant to make anyone feel guilty – I simply want to share the tips…

Organized & Accountable: 3 Tips to Take Control of Your Time

I don't know about you, but for me the new year always brings a desire for change. I had decided 2018 was the year of holding myself accountable. I just had to figure out how to do it first. I have always been a pretty organized person. List making is second nature to me and post-its are a must have in our house, but I kept finding I would make all of these lists to keep myself "organized", but it…

It’s week 4 of the One Room Challenge. The One Room Challenge team has extended the event by one more week to assist participants affected by the recent natural disasters. The extra week is also nice for people like myself who were moving at a snail’s pace this past week and did not accomplish nearly anything on their to do list!

One Room Challenge Week 2: Painted Tile Progress

I can’t believe we are already a week in to the One Room Challenge. As I mentioned last week we will be completing our laundry room (which is also our pantry and what we call our “dog room”) for this 6 week challenge. You can catch up on week 1 here. Last weekend we spent time clearing everything out of the laundry room and giving the room, especially the floor, a deep clean as we got ready to paint and…

I am joining this fall edition of the One Room Challenge as a guest participant. While I am not one of the 20 featured design bloggers participating, I will be participating and accepting the challenge of transforming a room…

How to Live Through a Renovation (8 Tips to Remember)

Living through a renovation... is rough to say the least. We bought our current house almost a year and a half ago. I honestly naively thought we would be done renovating our by now. Or that we would at least have our main floor completely done, or the rainbow carpet ripped out from the upstairs. If you missed the rainbow carpet you can see it in our new house tour here. We are substantially done with the main floor, with the major exception…
