Word Wednesday: the most important things in life

Usually, Wednesdays are "Wordless Wednesdays" at Commona-my House. But today, even though the sun is shining here in Oklahoma, I'm still heavy- hearted thinking about how in the blink of an eye, your life can change. Today's "Wordless Wednesday" has words. And they are so meaningful to me. Even though I blog about design/decor and all things "home"... It is important to always remember that the foundation of your home and your life shouldn't revolve around things.

 

My thoughts and prayers are with the families who have lost.
XXXOOO.

Freebie Friday: Moving Printables

We're moving this week.
We sold our home in 4 days on the market. (I'll be posting more about this in the near future).
It's a big move- to thousands of miles away.
Our family will be in transition for at least a month until we find a home in our new state of Utah.
Emotions aside though, there has been SO much I've needed to do to prepare for the move itself and all of the other things that go along with it that I need to do for the kids, the dog, the mail, ect.
It entailed being organized (a little).
Today I'm sharing some moving freebies that have helped me to KEEP CALM and CARRY A BOX, without losing it.


Happy Trails!
XXXOOO!
