Oh ya...I have a blog?!

You know those days where you don't get much done?!  

Your list just keeps going...and on that list you see and realize you haven't blogged in almost 2 months!! 

I'm still here...hahaa! 

Really...I am!!! ;)

For those of you who follow me on Instagram (hastobepretty), you understand when I say this...it's eating this blog these days! 

Instagram just seems so easy to quickly post to. 

I really need to be more committed to this blogging thing..I do enjoy sharing what's on my heart and my projects with you on here.

I've been super busy these last 2 months! A long time dream of mine was to have a booth with my sweet sister...well a few weeks ago that dream became reality!! 

It was all we ever hoped for and more!! 

We giggled our way through 4 fun days of pure sister time!! 

We literally had 3 weeks to create enough to fill a 10x10 booth! 

Now you understand..busy?! 

Ya..we had so much fun and to all of you who came to support us...you blessed us so!! 

Thank you!!!

All of this has me in a mood to simplify once again! 

A simplified Christmas is going on at our house. 

We are slowly...really slowly, pulling out Christmas decor. 

Everything has been so busy that I feel if I quickly do it, that I won't enjoy each moment.

We brought home a sweet little cedar from the cabin. 

I'm madly in love with these wings from decorsteals.com. 

They are so fun!

And that mantel? 

Yes, is still empty too...

We still have not added ornaments to our trees...I'd like to keep it simply the way it is! 

However, as predicted...kids are ready for them. 

We buy everyone a special ornament each year and pulling them out brings back wonderful memories for sure!! 

So I'm sure at some point they will be added.

A few strands of lights in unexpected places..they make me smile!

I have 1 more goal left for 2013!!

 I'm a goal gal...I'm realizing this more each day!!  

Just need them!

This past January, I set a few goals and opening an Etsy shop was one of them!! 

Yes!! 

Last goal and we are in December!!! 

Procrastinate much?! 

 I'd love to have you stop in and visit Hastobepretty on Etsy!!

Shop will go live by the end of this week!! 

Ekkkk....gets me thinking on what goals to have for 2014!

Thanks for stopping in..You guys have a great & blessed day today!!

Love, 

Naomi

A Quiet Moment..

..in time, Fall is once again here! 

TIME stand still for just a bit longer...RIGHT?!

It's been a year since I first started to blog, and I can't believe how much has changed in a year. 

Our home went from color everywhere to clean white spaces. 

Any of you decided to jump on this Whites trend? 

It's been a fun journey!!

A place that relaxes us..it's HOME!

There is so much I want to share! 

I'm learning all too well that we are not in control of what our days are going to be like.

 There have been a lot of unexpected struggles over the last few months, and yet looking back I feel more blessed than ever before!!

James 4:14 says..

What is your life? You are a mist that appears for a little while and then vanishes. 

This has been on my heart..What is my life?

What is my life?

What is yours?

I pray that in this journey..all the fun that comes with creating, that our homes will always be a place where family and friends can come enjoy one another. To live in our journey that brings honor to HIM! 

For we are only a mist that appears for a little while and then vanishes...

Love,

Naomi
