I couldn’t take it any longer. The kitchen cabinets were nearly ostracizing me from the area. I had to conquer. So I did…and much has been banned from the kitchen, including appliances we don’t use, plastic drinking cups and TONS of mason jars! On this cabinet above, the doors came off to create open shelving, and is now mostly filled. Only glassware and creamware will be allowed and I still have to locate and install that last shelf. I love it so much more already and enjoy looking up and seeing all the pretties on the shelves.
This blog post would have been 100% more effective had I shown a ‘before’ pic here. Just take my word on it: the cabinet was an ugly, disorganized mess previously. These therapy sessions are working great, though!
Are you a fan of open shelving or do you prefer the closed cabinetry look?
Here is a cute but inspiring vid with tips on staying creative. A dear friend shared it with me a while back, and I just rewatched it for a memory jog.
Which one of these ideas are you in the most need of right now?

Sorry that he didn’t want to wake up for his interview…It’s a lot of work being a puppy, you know.
We’ve been wanting a dog like this for a long time. Barnabas is 8 weeks old, and is a Great Pyrenees. He will be helping us keep up with all the animals outside once we get our farm all situated again. We just got him on Saturday, and it already feels like he’s been here for forever. The children can not get enough of him and we are all head over heels with this little guy. Oh yeah, he won’t stay little for long. His paws are already the size of a normal large dog’s paws. This little dude is gonna be biiiiig!!
He has a playful but sweet personality, and is incredibly even-tempered and laid back. He’s smart.
Oh yeah, and sleepy, too…
The recent sick stuff we had going on here transformed to this annoying, lingering cold and congestion dealio for my hubby and myself. My mindset is to avoid the doc/hospital unless absolutely necessary, so we’ve been treating this here at home and getting some relief. Just thought I’d share a few of the natural remedies

This past week, we have celebrated the 5th birthday of our oldest girl, Gianna Belle. We have 5 children, and it never ceases to amaze me the speed at which they grow.
My daughter, was it not but recently when we wrapped you snug as a bug in the blanket your great grandmother knitted for you?
