It’s Been a Year! Do you Know What That Means?

So guess what Saturday the 21st is?  My 1 year blogiversary!   So to celebrate, I’ve asked some of my favorite companies and small business owners to participate in my week of giveaways for my blogging birthday!

I can’t believe it’s already been a year of blogging for me.  It went by SO fast.  But, it’s been so incredibly good and I am so thankful for all of the support y’all pour out each day.

So what does this next year of blogging bring?  Well, more decorating of course, and plenty of redos to my redos. :)  I don’t have a set schedule or anything of what I blog about.  I do jot down ideas for posts in a notebook, but mostly I kind of just fly by the seat of my pants and it falls into place.  Sometimes I wonder what in the world I’ll write about, and then other times I think there’s not enough days in the week because I have so many ideas for posts.  So here’s hoping this next year will be even greater!

Also, I’m finally on Pinterest now and just barely getting the hang of still, but I hope to start using it frequently as an online inspiration guide. So come and follow along and let’s inspire each other!  If you need an invite let me know…I think I can send out a few invites?

And, back to the giveaways…they are GOOD.  Like, over the top good.  Starting tomorrow, Monday the 16th, the first giveaway will start and then each day after there will be a new giveaway.  So if you are doing the math, there will be a new giveaway each day for the next 7 days!  I will leave all of the giveaways open until Saturday, May 28th and will announce all of the winners then. I want all of you to have time to enter them all.

And we are starting off the week of giveaways with BANG.  Like, you aren’t going to believe what the giveaway is on Monday. It is SO incredibly generous and y’all are going to be doing cartwheels because you’ll be so ecstatic.  Trust me…

See you tomorrow, and here’s to another great year! :)

xxoo,

Decorchick!

    Hi, can’t wait – this is going to be fun….if you’re listening ;-) can you explain pinterest? can we use these images on our blog? in collage? how does it work…

    • Decorchick! says

      May 15, 2011 at 11:11 am

      It’s where you can “pin” ideas that you have for your home, and any other hobbies you like so you can keep an inspiration file basically online. If you see an idea you like online, you can drag it up to the bookmarks bar and it will save that idea on pinterest. It really is pretty neat–I just haven’t had much time to play around on it yet. And you can follow people and see what they are pinning too and give you plenty of great ideas!

      If you do a search for something you are thinking about, pinterest is the place to find it. Everything is on there. :)

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.❤️
