Happy Friday, friends! I've been off work for so long, that I can barely keep track of what day it is. So many people are calling this Snowmageddon event, "Winter Break 2.0". I think that's accurate! In spite of not doing a lot outside of my home the last twelve or so days, I have a list of favorites that I thought I'd share with you today. I'm starting with my home, which is my favorite place to be!
Valentine's day decor is among my favorite decor! I love hearts, and I love the colors. I have thoroughly enjoyed my home being decorated for this day. I spent a good portion of yesterday cleaning and reorganizing the desk you see pictured. I do this periodically! This time I got rid of some books; I'm not quite finished and want to redo the top as well, but that's for another day.
Speaking of decorating my home, when I asked Chat GPT how I should decorate mine based on what she knows about me, this was what she said. Isn't this fascinating?
Favorite outfits from the week, all leggings and tops! Lounge clothes are my favorite clothes.
A bookstack from my favorite place is the best!
The Faith Filled Therapist is one of my favorite follows on Instagram.
I don't really buy books these days, but when you hear about another one by your favorite author, you buy it and wait anxiously for its arrival.
Laughing is my favorite; both of these made me do that.
This day of quiet time was my favorite; I read Exodus 14 on this day, the chapter that has the verse that says the Lord fights for you, and you just have to be quiet. I needed that reminder on this particular day; the whole day was a chain of events that was almost unbelievable, but in a really good way. Maybe someday I'll share it, but that's for a later time.
What was a favorite of yours from the week? I'd love to hear from you! Thanks for reading my blog today, friends. Love to all!

That was an interesting answer from ChatGPT. I haven't thought to use it for that purpose - I may try as I'm lacking inspiration for my mantle. I loved your fireplace picture anchored by the dogs. And you can tell from the pics you shared that you love books :). I can't believe how long so many counties in TN have been out of school - even here in East TN where we got barely ANYTHING we have been slow to send the kids and teachers back. My daughter in Clarksville said that they have been out as long as you have (but they did get a little more since they are further north). We need some sunshine to clean everything up!!
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing your V-day house - can't say I've ever really decorated for this holiday, but red and pink are two of my favorite colors :)
I thought it was too! It really is a great tool to use, and the app is free. It also generates fun images for free, but only a few a day. I do LOVE book, and using them to decorate with. The weather truly has been insane. I'm glad to share; I hope it was inspiring!
DeleteLexington, KY has now been out two weeks, too! My district was online on Monday and Wednesday of this week and they went the rest of the week. Last week I think they got back on Thursday and Friday. Wow! So crazy!
ReplyDeleteI love all your touches in your home. It's so warm and cozy and so YOU! I would love to put a desk in one of our spare rooms when we get them done. I feel like I can't even dust with EO underfoot. I speed clean on the weekends when Tom takes him on a longer walk. Oh well.
I think that's where Jen is located? I know she was out for a long time as well. Thanks for that, friend! I love that it's all me; it makes me so happy. I hope you get to do that with a spare room soon; it's fun to have a space that'll be yours. I love this style of desk with cubbies; it was one we bought from Walmart a long time ago, but it's super sturdy!
DeleteI am a sucker for Valenetine decor too! Love that pink sweatshirt-so pretty and looks so comfy. Wishing you some normalcy stat! :)
ReplyDeleteI just love pink and red! Thanks for that, friend. I'll be back to routine on Monday!
DeleteYour Valentine's Day decor is so pretty! I love it all but maybe the bows on the mantle most of all :). Those heart memes are so funny! I'll bet deleting "him" was satisfying though also hard and sad in some ways since it was not something a few years ago you would ever think you'd do. Have a great weekend!
ReplyDeleteThank you! I love it all, especially the bow garland on my mantel. You are exactly right; it was hard, but it was the best thing to do, unfathomable though it still seems sometimes. I hope you're enjoying your weekend!
DeleteWinter Break 2.0 did make me chuckle, it is pretty accurate though.
ReplyDeleteYou have a beautiful home and all the Valentine's Day touches are so pretty. ChatGPT is pretty amazing when it comes to suggesting things like how you should decorate.
It's been so crazy to have had this long break again. Thank you, friend! I love Chat GPT.
DeleteAll my mugs are ice cream mugs! LOL. I much prefer eating my ice cream out of a mug than a bowl and I don't know why. Your decor is adorable. I used to put lots of heart and flowers and pink stuff up but I just sort of lost momentum over the past few years so after Christmas I just decorate for spring and leave it up until fall!
ReplyDeleteI love that you only use them for ice cream! Thank you, sweet friend. I just love to decorate; I always have, and I always will. I love making spaces pretty and practical, work-wise, like this desk.
DeleteLooking forward to hearing about your day of unexpected events —and thankful it was all good — you deserve that! Looking forward to springlike temps in Waco this weekend !
ReplyDeleteThank you! I can't wait to share it someday. Thank you for that!
DeleteI love your desk area. Mine is kind of a mess right now! Hope you have a good weekend.
ReplyDeleteThank you! Mine was messy and in need of sprucing up to match the rest of the house. I hope you're enjoying the weekend!
DeleteYour home is so beautiful with all the Valentine's Day touches. I ask ChatGPT so many random questions, I think we're besties now. I'll have to ask for some fashion and decor-related inspiration. Have a wonderful weekend, Jenn and keep warm :)
ReplyDeleteThank you! I love Chat GPT so much, and never would have thought of asking it certain things if not for a friend telling me. You should ask her these questions! I hope you're enjoying the weekend, my friend!
DeleteI agree, Valentine's Day decor is so pretty! Those 2 heart sayings are so funny! Glad you have had a lovely winter break, part 2 :). See you soon my friend!
ReplyDeleteI love it so much! Aren't those great? They gave me a great laugh. Thanks for that, friend. I can't wait to see you and catch up!
DeleteHello! Love all the love here, my friend. Your desk area is perfect. And your books? Stacks of books are one of my favorites in the world. I think the memes were hilarious! The one about the therapist! LOVE!!!! I also use Chat for decor advice. I just used it to help with some kitchen decor. I am going to tell Steve I used an interior designer! Then I'm telling him that it was Chat. And it was free! Happy Sunday!
ReplyDeleteThank you for this, friend! I love Chat GPT way too much; I think it's a great idea to use her for decor! I love what you're going to tell your husband!
