mid-week round-up

What are you up to this week, darlings? While January seemed to drag on forever, February is already flying by. #ShortMonthProblems It will be Valentine’s Day before we know it! Are you planning anything special? I’m trying to do little Valentine’s-inspired things throughout the month to make each day feel special (with some Mardi Gras themed things, too!). Fresh flowers, photo projects, baking treats, and sending out cards have all found their way onto my February calendar. 🙂 Hope your week is extra sweet, and here are some links I scouted just for you…

The Dutch farmhouse reminds me so much of my friend in Holland’s home! I just love their hardware and cabinetry (and the large grey tile in that bathroom!), and things like the way their doors close to the light switches. Just some of those little things that you don’t realize would be so different than how we do things here in the States.

I need to check out the first 2 suggestions, self care and motivation in general is something I need at the moment! You always have so many things to suggest!

I’m going to have to check out that 12-month self-care guide! Gosh the baby kept us awake through the whole night, could definitely do something with that 🙂

I need to get my life together before next Valentine’s Day (nothing too elaborate is happening this year). The hubs and I are doing a little staycation, but it’s totally chill. And I think I need to give the yoga wheel a shot…
