Dorm Room Essentials
We recently moved our oldest child into his dorm room for his first year at college. So this was my first experience with moving someone into a dorm room, and I wanted to help make it a cozy and organized space with room for all of the necessities and more! I researched the many dorm check off lists, shopped around, checked out reviews and joined a Facebook group called, “Dorm Chatter.” I gathered all of the info I could, and together we ended up with the following list of dorm room essentials. Even if you aren’t looking to organize an actual dorm room, some of these small space organization ideas…

What Do I Need on the Beach?
My favorite vacation spot is the beach. Growing up we would go to the Jersey Shore, and since my kids have been babies we’ve continued going there for our family vacations.

Decorating for Valentine’s Day in Subtle Ways

Even though I enjoy the occasional pop of color, I really gravitate to the neutrals. So when it comes to Valentine’s Day, I like to be more subtle about it. I really enjoy when the decor doesn’t scream Valentine’s Day, but instead just gives little reminders of love. In fact, a lot of the items I have used can really be left out all year! Decorating for Valentine’s Day in subtle ways can be beautiful and so appealing! (This post contains…
