Tidbits from Home


We had a pretty quiet week at home, just doing our usual work, school, and activities routine.

Lately, I’ve been feeling the urge to do some spring cleaning, and since it’s spring break this week, I’m hoping to convince my family to help me tackle the chaotic basement.

It’s turned into a bit of a dumping ground over the past few months and desperately needs some attention!

Calling it a disaster zone might be an understatement, so I’m crossing my fingers that we can make good progress this week!

I’ve finally pulled out my spring decor bins and have started to add a few seasonal touches around the house.

I’m not ready to share photos yet, but if you need inspiration, here are a few pictures from last spring that I love.

The cute DIY bunny I crafted and styled on my vintage dresser is trending on Pinterest currently.

If you want to create vignettes easily, check out this post from last year to learn how to style your own for Easter.

Can you guess what I’m working on for April?

And yesterday, I went thrifting for the first time in ages.

I was looking for vintage china for my Easter tablescape, and while I struck out on dishware, I didn’t come home empty-handed.

Check out the photos above for the random collection of goodies I snagged.

Any guesses on how I plan to use them?

Take a peek at the second photo – it’s a hint, and I’m super excited to show you soon!

My Favorite Finds

Did you know that whenever you click on a shoppable link in my posts and make a purchase, I earn a small commission – even if it’s not the specific item I’ve linked?

Your support means the world to me, and I’m genuinely thankful when you shop through my links. It allows me to keep sharing free content with all of you here on the blog.

I have and love this decor staple – it stays out all year round!

These wood charcuterie trays are so cute and would look adorable on your Easter table.

I have my eye on this gorgeous wreath. Wouldn’t it look beautiful on my front door this spring?

If you have carpets (and pets!) like we do, I can’t say enough good things about this. It’s a must-have in our house!

These food storage containers are great for organizing your pantry and are currently on sale for 40% off!
