Summary

We are back with a bonus episode, filling you in on exactly what we’ve been up to at home, and sharing our successes and challenges during this time. Whether it’s family cocktail hour or more time with the family, we are definitely finding a silver lining in this time. We also share what we’ve been ordering online, how to decorate using things already inside your home, and which of us is wearing high heels with our athleisure. What You’ll Hear On This Episode: The ways we are passing the time - planting flowers, creating yummy meals, online shopping, tackling long term projects, and a lot of home decorating! How we are all keeping our sanity by creating a functional home office and sacred space to have some alone time in. Even just cleaning a nook once a day will give you a good sense of control and accomplishment. What parts of our home we are just upgrading, and which ones we are completely reorganizing. How we are staying sane with our partners and family being around 24/7. Cute ways to make arrangements or centerpieces on the dining room table using what you already have in the house. How this time is making us appreciate our homes even more and the effort we put in to making the little details nice and enjoyable. The plans we have coming up to make our homes and outside spaces even better. What are are ordering online, tackling our to do list one by one. Yes, yoga pants really are that comfortable during this time, but it also feels good to slap on some mascara and brush the hair every now and then. Mentioned In This Episode: Gallery Easel
