Year In Review and My Top Posts {2012}

Wow. I can’t believe it’s 2013 today!! Happy new year everyone! :) I wanted to do a year in review of my top posts from 2012 in case you missed something last year. That sounds weird saying that.  These are some of my favorite posts (15 of them), and just some of my accomplishments and experiences that I shared with you all throughout the year.  It’s so fun to look back down memory lane.

So here we go…

My Valentine Yarn Wreath.

But the BIGGEST, most AWESOME project of all last year had to be the birth of my 2nd daughter, Ellie Marie.

She is actually 6 months old today I can’t believe it. Kind of making me sad. She’s such a sweet little blessing and no DIY or house project can compete with her. :)

2012 really was an awesome year. I had many great opportunities and worked with some great companies and brands. Thank you to all of you for sticking around and going on this crazy decorating/DIY train with me. I truly appreciate you all and am so thankful for you.

What’s in store for 2013? Well, AWESOME stuff. Maybe awesome stuff like, ummm, a white kitchen (that’s already in the works), the nursery reveal, more redos, more decorating, and more realness. :) I can’t wait to show you!

Here’s to 2013. Let’s make this our best year yet!!

xxoo,

Decorchick!

This is what happens when you go to the neighborho This is what happens when you go to the neighborhood petting zoo at Christmas to see the baby goats.🤷‍♀️🤷‍♀️🤪

2 labradoodle puppies were NOT on my 2026 vision board, but here we are.🥰

How could you NOT with these gorgeous colorings?! A red and blue Merle are so unique, and they are the sweetest!🐶🐶

It was my first time going with Randy to one of hi It was my first time going with Randy to one of his gigs. This wasn’t just any gig though. It was a very special wedding for a beautiful couple.❤️

And after witnessing firsthand what all he does for events like this, I have a new appreciation for what he does because it is a LOT.🤯

From loading in setting up three PA systems in 3 separate areas, then immediately switching gears to performance mode and playing ceremony music + sax, dinner music + MC’ing, then reception DJ’ing + sax. It was really pretty freaking mind-blowing to be honest. And then you have to tear it all down! Talk about a full day (I felt hungover the next day and I don’t even drink), but if you are in the entertainment business you get it. And he does this multiple times a month!

So many moving parts, and being flexible when you need to switch gears at the last minute, and he handles it with so much ease. That’s why he’s the professional at his craft.🫶

I was just there more as his emotional support person, but would love to do more events with him where I’m actually useful. 🤪Maybe I’ll learn to wrap up cords the right way one day to his liking, but that’s doubtful. 🤣

It was the perfect new year’s day and can’t wait to do it again!❤️

Congrats @claudine.said and @chefaustinsimmons it was a JOY witnessing your special day.

3 years without Daddy and Pawpaw💔 Does life mo 3 years without Daddy and Pawpaw💔

Does life move on? 

Yes, but not without a hazy fog lingering over you that never fully lifts.

Not without the deep ache in your heart longing for more time.

Not without reaching for your phone wanting to call or text.

Not without the family gatherings knowing someone is missing, even though no one mentions it.

Not without crying when you think of him or look at old photos.

I still cannot talk about him without tearing up. Certain songs or sayings break me.

After losing a parent, everything looks different. Time with your family begins to feel more intentional, because you want the moments to last.

The hustle feels less important, because you realize your people matter more than any dollar amount.

Grief and gratitude can coexist. It’s okay to be sad, and it’s okay to be thankful for a dad who is worth missing.❤️
