heading into this week remembering we weren’t made to carry more than one day at a time 🤍

Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own.

Over the last couple years I’ve been trying my best to print my photos instead of letting them just live (and die) on my phone…

that’s looked like a lot of finding creative ways to mix them into our everyday spaces. family photo albums as coffee table books, a stack of prints in a bowl for my kids to flip through, and tucking frames all over the place (without making it feeling cluttered!)

My go-to for everything photo related is forever and always from @artifactuprising. They make it super easy to incorporate photos in a way that still feels intentional, curated annnnd still fit with my ideal home aesthetic.

If you’ve been meaning to do something with your photos… this is your sign 🤍

a little spring moment for the bathroom 🌼

we got these new bamboo bath towels from @cariloha a couple weeks ago and I can’t recommend them enough… so so soft, super absorbent, and just kinda made the whole space feel a little more put together.

Found this huge mixed media canvas at the thrift store and felt like it needed a second life ✨

Who knew all you needed was a little painter’s tape + spackling to make it look like you have a high end custom textured art piece. annnnd the best part is… my four year old did most of it 👩🏼‍🎨

This little book vase was $9 and I absolutely could not turn it down.

For my west michigan friends, tulips are finally back at the @meijerstores, which means this 426yr long winter is officially almost over (that’s what I pretend it means anyways). PTL 🙌🏼

I cannot even tell you how much joy opening this drawer brings me… tell me you’re in your 30s without telling me 🙃

I used to think I needed a full project to make our home feel better. But lately it’s just been 20 (not so) quiet minutes of figuring out how to display what we actually use in a beautiful, intentional way. And honestly, it’s been transforming our space and making it feel more like home than ever 🌿

My younger two felt left out, soooo obviously we had to make valentines for them, too 👧🏼🧒🏼

We melted all of our broken crayons into heart molds, glued them onto leftover Amazon box backing, stamped “you color my world,” and let them go to town coloring the background.

The Valentine that doesn’t end up in the trash 🌸

Last year we decided to try making seed paper hearts that grow wildflowers for our friends and it was actually so fun. The kids were into it and they turned out way cuter than I thought they would.

Because winter refuses to quit, we’re bringing spring inside. 🌷

This print reminds me of one of my absolute favorite places and the simple frame from @frameologynyc made it even better.

Turns out making your own candles is way more satisfying than buying them (and typically way better for you too) 🕯️

Beeswax pellets, essential oils, wicks, a thrifted vessel and that’s it. Now I have a non toxic candle that looks expensive without being expensive.

Something this size would easilyyy be $60+ in stores and still full of junk.

Currently getting me through January ❄️

• Time with Jesus before the kids wake up // I’m currently working my way through Mark and recent got a new study Bible that has totally changed the game for me (done under a heated blanket… obviously)

• 10 minutes of daily house burping // Just learned that’s what it’s called and my kids think it’s hilarious. We open all the windows for fresh air and reset the house.

• Everything must have a place // We purged our entire house at the beginning of this month and omg has it made a difference. If it doesn’t have a spot, it doesn’t belong here.

• Daily movement (+ alone time) // The gym used to feel like punishment, but now I feel like it’s a place whete my brain can finally shut off.

• Sunshine whenever humanly possible // which isn’t much in january when you live in Michigan. But when it’s here, we soak it up. (Pretend you don’t see all the fingerprints on my window)

• Extra rest without guilt // earlier nights, slower mornings and even some breaks during the day. Linen sheets from @bollandbranch are absolutely superior (code | emmajwassink) #bollandbranchpartner

• @oseamalibu body butter // If I could convince you of one winter skincare product… it’s this. My skin will not survive January without it. (code | emmajwassink10) #oseapartner

• Getting creative // I just feel better when I’m making something

• Thissss instead of scrolling // finally got back into reading at night and my gosh does it make a difference for my sleep (again… always with the heated blanket)

Here’s to being over halfway through what always seems to be the longest (and greyest) month of the year 😮‍💨👏🏼

Send this to someone whose year didn’t start quite the way they thought it would…

I keep finding myself coming back to Romans 8:28 these past couple weeks. When things feel off course or uncertain, it’s a reminder that God is still working and nothing is wasted, even the parts that don’t make any sense at all.

“For we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose.” 🤍

One of those kitchen additions you don’t realize you need until you have it ✨

Installs in seconds, opens drawers hands free, and somehow doesn’t change the look of the cabinets at all.

If it saves me even a tiny bit of effort as a mom, I’m in. 😅

Just in case you didn’t know match striker stickers were a thing…🕯️

Why use a traditional matchbox when you can use a pretty vessel instead? Add one of these to the bottom of any container and suddenly it’s not just decor, it’s functional too.

I love pieces in our home that actually get used, and this is such an easy way to make something practical without sacrificing the look.

Why pay $$$ for a giant tree basket when you can flip your tree collar upside down and get the same look… not to mention have your tree sitting on level ground vs. in a wobbly basket 😅

Tree goes inside, blanket on top, instant cozy.

I grabbed this tree collar a couple years back from @aldiusa , but I linked a few similar options + our favorite tree from @kingofchristmas. Comment TREE and I’ll send them your way! 🎄✨

I made the cutest little keepsake ornament today and I’m absolutely unwell. 🥹😭

I traced my kindergartner’s handwriting onto dissolvable embroidery paper, embroidered over it (first time ever… it shows 😅), and popped it into a brass ornament frame. The sweetest little memory from this year.

If you have a preschooler or kindergartner, you absolutely have to try this.

I’ve been wanting to do Christmas cards for years… but every season I blink and suddenly it’s December 22nd and I’m like, “maybe next year.”

But then I saw these from @artifactuprising and figured… okay, this is the year. 🤌✨

This little wreath was so easy to make with some yard clippings, and it makes the space feel extra cozy. I can’t wait to hang all the cards we get this year with the kids… it’s going to be such a sweet little spot for them to check every day.

Anthro: $36 for two candles.
Me: hold my wax pen. 🕯️

Beeswax tapers + wax candle pens = the easiest holiday dupe ever.

Also bonus points bc it’s way easier (and way less messy) than melting crayons or dripping wax like you’ve probably seen before 👏🏼

P.S. there’s always a good 50¢ taper candle at the thrift store… I’ll absolutely be keeping my eyes out next time for that perfect hunter-green color. 👀

I think this is going to be a new favorite tradition for us. 🤎

I moved our kraft paper scroll into the living room and we’re using it as a running “thankful list” for November. After dinner, we each add something from the day. A roof over our heads, an answered prayer, the snack daddy got us at the store, sunshine outside, the bulldozer we saw today… you get the drill 😅

Just a simple way to slow down and actually look for the good that’s happening around us… and help the kids keep gratitude top of mind, too.

If you try this in your home please tag me!! Let’s make thankfulness the thing we notice this month 🥰

Pssst… comment “THANKFUL” for the link to our paper scroll holder!

Are you Team Before or Team After Thanksgiving? 🎄

Our @kingofchristmas tree showed up last month, and honestly… expecting me to wait until after Thanksgiving felt super unrealistic. My husband doesn’t believe in decorating early, so we compromise…. the tree goes up, but no ornaments (yet 😉).

When sleep is sacred… but also, ugly shades are not an option 🤷🏼‍♀️

Found the most perfect wall hanging for the boys’ room, and it fits the vintage Americana vibe so perfectly. 🤎

I came across it on the @choose_app_us, one of my favorite places to find home pieces you don’t see everywhere else. They’re always adding new products, so it’s a little dangerous in the best way.

I’ve been eyeing that $90 terracotta pumpkin candle from Pottery Barn… then I spotted this glass pumpkin container at the thrift store for $5 and knew I had to make a non toxic dupe.

A little paint + baking soda for that aged terracotta look, some non tox beeswax pellets melted and mixed with my favorite fall essential oils… annnd now it’s giving all the cozy fall vibes. 🍂🕯️

It doesn’t feel right to jump straight back into regular scheduled programming after this past week…

I believe so much of the hate we see in the world starts with brokenness at home. Our families and our homes are where we first learn what it means to love, to forgive, to be kind… basically, how to be human.

Honestly, I don’t even think I realized it before, but I think that might be a big part of what keeps me showing up here… to encourage you to invest in your home and time with your family. Sometimes that’s as simple as a little craft with the kids or a quick DIY project together.

So, don’t worry… the naptime DIYs, budget friendly decor hacks and display-worthy crafts aren’t going anywhere… but for now, here’s the verse that’s been playing on repeat in my mind lately

“And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose.”
- Romans 8:28

P.s. comment SCROLL for the link to our wall mounted paper scroll dispenser situation - we’ve had this for probably ten(!!!) years now and still love it sm.

The giant polka-dot SIX 🎉

All it takes is about a million paper circles (pro tip: get a circle cutter… don’t be like me with scissors), some double-sided wall tape, anddd a whole lot more time than you plan for 🙃
