Behind The Scenes

I know that y’all know what I do, obviously. I do fun stuff to our house and write about it and you all get to hear about it.  But what you don’t hear about probably often enough is what goes on behind the scenes, and HOW I am actually able to write about everything and have it disperse on the www. I just felt in my spirit today to give a little recognition to the guy who actually makes that all possible…

Mr. Handsome Techy Guy. Otherwise known as my husband Randy.

I am fortunate because I get to talk to y’all daily and communicate through y’alls comments and such and you can tell me how much you love or hate something. But the guy who operates my blog behind the scenes and does all of that not fun stuff should be praised too don’t you think? It’s not easy, and especially not easy for him when I am panicking that something isn’t working properly. But he always gets it done. And life can resume then.

He is the one who built my blog 3 1/2 years ago, and designed it. I had the same design for 3 years up until we gave it a makeover a few months ago. So he’s a huge part of Decorchick! too and I want us all to see how important he is. After all, I just write the posts and do my photos. Everything else he does and I’d be lost without him.

Have y’all ever thought about how these blogs run and how it happens? It’s pretty crazy! Code this, html this, openhook that, SEO mumbo jumbo…I could go on.

So, this one’s for you babe. We love you and all that YOU do to make me look good.

And p.s.-Wouldn’t he make a great “Heisenberg” a/k/a Walter White? I think I’ll get him a black Fedora and put his glasses on and he’ll be set what do you think?

xxoo,

Decorchick!

    Thanks Randy for all you do so Emily can endulge us! Emily, great idea to call him into the spotlight. Many of us have men that are behind the scenes who take the kids, cook dinner, and support us in our blogging endeavors. Hats off to all the men that help make it happen!

    It’s really sweet to give open recognition to your husband, I know he does it out of love for you and your interests but I’m sure he feels much appreciated, especially now. Kudos to you both for the wonderful job you both do!!

    You are lucky to have a helper near by!! I’m the techie in my family. I designed the look-n-feel of my blog and tweaked code to do a little extra. My hubbie saw my blog then proceeded to volunteer me to create a website for his car club! It can be very frustrating sometimes when things quit working and you have no idea why! Hats off to your adorable hubby for keeping your amazing blog up and running.

    Hi, Neat post. There’s a problem together with your
    site in web explorer, may check this? IE still is the
    marketplace leader and a big portion of people will miss your
    wonderful writing due to this problem.

Hi, I’m Emily! I’m passionate about wellness that actually feels good, building strength at any age, and embracing beauty—inside and out. I share snippets of real life, faith, our cozy home, and simple ways to feel your best (and maybe even earn extra income while doing it). Let’s make this season your strongest and most intentional yet. I’m so glad you’re here!

Hey, I’m Emily – and if it’s been a while, w Hey, I’m Emily – and if it’s been a while, welcome (back)!🤗

A lot has changed in the past few years—personally, emotionally, and spiritually. I’ve been through some heavy seasons… but I’ve also done a lot of healing, growing, and rebuilding.🙏

And now? I’m coming back to this space with intention.
Not to just “post content,” but to share what’s real. What’s working. What’s worth it.

So here’s what you’ll find here now:

• Wellness that feels good and fits into real life
• Fitness and strength-building (yep, I lift—and love it!)
• Little peeks into our new home and everyday life
• Beauty, inside and out
• And an opportunity to join me in a business that’s been a total blessing—and just might be for you too

This page has always been a part of me—many of you know me as DecorChick. That version of me is still here… it’s just evolving into something more.🥹

And if you’re curious about the thing that’s helped me feel better, have more energy, and create a new stream of income…

Getting stronger—inside and out!💪 I’m not Getting stronger—inside and out!💪

I’m not just building muscle—I’m building longevity.

There’s something powerful about moving heavy weight. It reminds me of what I’m capable of—not just physically, but mentally too.

Lifting weights isn’t just about aesthetics. For women, it’s essential. Here’s why:

1. It preserves bone density and helps prevent osteoporosis

💪As we age—especially post-menopause—our bone density naturally declines. Lifting weights helps slow or even reverse that loss, reducing the risk of fractures and improving long-term mobility.

2. It builds lean muscle and boosts metabolism

💪Muscle burns more calories at rest than fat, which means strength training supports fat loss and makes it easier to maintain a healthy weight without extreme dieting.

3. It reduces the risk of chronic diseases and supports long-term health

💪Lifting improves insulin sensitivity, lowers inflammation, and supports heart and brain health—helping reduce your risk of conditions like diabetes, heart disease, and cognitive decline.

If you’ve been thinking about starting your own strength journey—this is your sign. It’s never too late, and you don’t have to be perfect—just consistent.☺️

What’s something you’ve done lately that made you feel strong? Drop it below—I wanna cheer you on!🎉

6 years without alcohol. Honestly… still one of 6 years without alcohol.

Honestly… still one of the best decisions I’ve ever made.☺️

Not because I hit some big rock bottom. But because I wanted more — more peace, more clarity, more freedom to not let wine-o-clock dictate my life.🍷

Saying no to alcohol has allowed me to say YES to so many other things:

👫Deep, honest relationships
☀️Early mornings without regret
💕Trusting myself fully
🥹Feeling everything, numbing nothing
🙏And being so at peace in my own skin

If you’re sober, sober curious, or even just thinking about your relationship with alcohol — I’d love to hear your story. Share it in the comments or send me a message. You’re not alone!

Here’s to living fully, feeling everything, and having the ultimate FREEDOM!🙌

#6YearsSober #SoberCurious #alcoholfree
Today we celebrate the victory of life over death, Today we celebrate the victory of life over death, hope over despair, and love that knows no end. 💕May the joy of the risen Christ fill your heart and home with peace, purpose, and renewed faith. He is risen indeed!

Happy Resurrection Day!!
