Just a simple reminder to take a moment (or a day) to relax and breathe. My body gave me this reminder today. Nothing like being forced to sit a minute. So take the break before your body makes you. #relaxation #asmr #asmrcommunity #simpleblackbird #slowingdown #slowdown #inthemoment #bewhereyouare #bewhereyourfeetare #christmasvibes #christmas2021 #candles #candlesofinstagram #candleaddict #peppermint #aldifinds #amberglass #hyggehome #hyggevibes #cosyhome #cozydecor #hygge #cozyandwarm #makespace

Meet my croton plant! He's new around these parts. And so I'm learning how to take care of him. Here are some of the basics for this plant, which I hear is easy to care for 🙂. Croton plants love a good sunny location. if it isn't getting enough, the new leaves will let you know by not being as colorful. Even and moist soil, in a well draining soil and pot. Let it mostly dry out between watering. Croton is native to southeast Asia and Oceania. That means it loves humidity!  If you live in a dryer climate, or it's wintery, consider getting a hand mister for those plant babies. Fertilize during the spring and summer,  during it's growing season. No need to in the fall or winter. Poisenous! Not good for pets or toddlers alike. Sorry friends. They are good for water propagation (my favorite kind). Cut off 4" to 6" off the stem and place in water. Plant it when it has roots. What do you think, will I kill this little guy? Also, he needs a name, suggestions? . . . . . . #plantlady #planstagram #plantmama #plants #waterwednesday #crazyplantlady #plantsofinstagram #naturaldecor #homedecor #homedesign #cleanandsimple #hygge #hyggehome #mcm #midcenturymod #currentdesignsituation #moderndesign #neutraldesign #neutraldecor #boho #minimalish #neutralhome #inspiremeneutral #howihome #currenthomeview #simpleblackbird #midwestblogger

Got that Monday motivation. Finish it month might be over, but that doesn't mean I'm done; I've got a long list of things to do this week. But the sun decided to come out & I got my morning time drinks. So I'm conquering my 3 things a day list (which took a back burner during #finishitmonth). What 3 things are you doing today, that are manageable, and will improve your state of being? Mine are in stories today! . . . . . . #mondaymotivation #mondaygoals #newmonthnewgoals #liquidmotivation #mamadrank #productiveday #intentionalliving #intentionallife #simplify #achievable #3goalsaday #mydomaine #currenthomeview #intentionality #slippershoes #fallvibes #sweaterweather #novembervibes

In our debt journey, I’ve learned to appreciate the little wins. We’re loosely following Dave Ramseys’ Total Money Makeover.  And we have officially hit the halfway mark of our 3-6 month emergency fund (current goal is 4 months). It’s off sitting in a high yield savings account gaining interest and is out of sight and out of mind. We’ve still got a long way to go on our journey. And I still have deeply engrained attitudes towards money and buying “things” that I am working slowly to peel away. I’m a recovering maximalist folks. But by simplifying and spending less I’m hoping to find financial freedom, piece of mind, and finding joy in less. And if you’re also on this journey, or want to be, I’m here to talk to. Let me know if you have any questions about it! I’m more than happy to help or commiserate or celebrate with you. . . . . . . #simplelife #simplepleasures #simplethingsinlife #simpleandstill #debtfreejourney #debt #debtfreecommunity #daveramsey #billsbillsbills #roadtominimalism #minimalistmindset #goalsetter #moneygoals #moneygoals2020 #slowlife #simpleliving #hsa #simpleblackbird #lifegoals

At the beginning of this pandemic, I was going hot… on projects. There was hardly a space in my house that didn’t get touched.  And those that weren’t, were on the docket.  But then the isolation got to me and I ran to my sisters’ houses.  When I got back I finished up the projects that I absolutely had to finish because it was disrupting our lives. And then I did nothing… for months. Burn out, depression, and kids starting back at school kept me stalled. But here, in October, I’m going to finish some of those projects I never did finish. And I want you to come along and join me! Finish up those little (or big) projects you didn’t quite finish. Whether your in the 20% club or 98% club for these, let’s band together and get them done! My first project is cleaning out my garage. Ya know, so I can find my projects. What project are you going to start on? Tag me if you finish something and use the hashtag #finishupmonth. I'd love to see! . . . . . . #90percentclub #october2020 #octoberchallenge #finishitmonth #diyprojects #garageorganization #kitchenorganization #pandemicprojects #organizeyourlife #geterdone #unfinishedproject #fallcleaning #fallcleanup #simpleblackbird #finishupmonth

Easy plant!: The Parlor Palm. The Neanthe Bella Palm. This plant is the most popular indoor plant out there. Why? Because it’s easy to keep alive and you can buy it everywhere. They can grow up to 6 feet indoors. Here are some basic care tips to get you started. They can live in a lower light situation (but not no-light). Bright filtered light will do. Not a fan of direct sun. Also, keep him out of drafty areas, the leaves can turn brown from cold and prolonged underwatering. Don’t over water. It likes evenly moist soil in a pot with good drainage. Water when the top one inch of soil is dry. It’s leaves will turn yellow if he needs more water. It’s a slow grower. And so, doesn’t need much fertilizer, one or twice in growing season with a weaker fertilizer will do it. There are not great for propagating at home. They grow from the root clumps and are a bit sensitive. Better to just buy another in this case. And bonus for you pet people, it’s not poisenous to animals! Over all, these are a great starter plant. Would you buy one? Or do you own one already? Let me know down below!  And if you have any requests for a plant profile, let me know! #plantstagram #plantsmakepeoplehappy #plantslover #plantshelfie #plantsarelife #thedelightofdecor #mystylednest #myplantaesthetic #mybohovibes #homestylers #simpleblackbird #plantparenthood #parlorpalm #neanthebellapalm #plantcaretips

Just started organizing? Here is my number one tip. Start small! Yup, that’s it.  When you first start decluttering and organizing your house, it’s important to start with something small. A drawer, a counter, a small closet. Why? Quick wins. There is nothing like a few quick wins to get you going. You’ll quickly see what a difference it can make and move on to larger projects. Starting small will give you good momentum and won’t cause organization burnout. What is one small space you can work on this week?

Snake Plant 101 Want to learn how to not kill a snake plant? This guy is one of the easiest plants to take of (for real). And I have 5 tips today to start you off. And as proof, I have a snake plant that I have kept alive for over a year and doesn’t seem to be dying! 1. Don’t overwater him! This is the quickest and easiest way to kill a snake plant.  The little tag that came with him says 10-15 days. I usually put him on the 2 week rotation. In Winter, every 3-4 weeks can be enough. Just make sure his soil is dry before you water again. Don’t kill him with love, be a little stand-offish. 2. He loves indirect light. He can handle some direct sun and some shade.  But put him in a room with a window and he’ll be set. 3. You don’t have to fertilize much, but if you do use a 10-10-10 fertilizer at half strength.  And only during it’s growing season. 4. Don’t let your pets eat it, as it is toxic and will make them sick. And while your at it, refrain from eating it yourself 😉. 5. Keep it in soil and a pot with good drainage. Make sure there’s a hole in the bottom. And try a porous material for the pot, like a terra cotta. So if you want to try a new plant, but are afraid of killing it, this guy is going to be a good bet.  What do you think? Are you up for a new plant baby? . . . . . . #jungalowhome #plantsofinstagram #plantsarefriends #plantstyling #plantsmakemehappy #snakeplant #sansevieriatrifasciata #motherinlawstongue #variagatedsnakeplant #terracotta #planttips #plantcare101 #ikeafinds #bunnydecor #homegoodsfind #desertdiffuser
