Three things I’ve learned while refinishing our kitchen cabinets:

1. I sure do love a home project 🏡 - but… I prefer projects that move a little more quickly.

2. I didn’t think about all the dust that would come from sanding and all the prep work that entails. 🧹

3. Stripping paint, sanding, and staining (which we haven’t even started) take so much patience and attention to detail. 🧐

Aside from all of these things, I think we're really going to like the finished project! And shout out to my husband for always going along with these ideas and helping bring them to life. ♥️

Transformation takes time… in any area of life. Trust the process.

Remember when I said summers are hard for me? And that I can’t seem to sit and relax? Apparently, relaxing for me looks like starting big home projects. Anyone else’s relaxing look like starting big projects, too?!

If you know me, you know I’m a big fan of Brené Brown. These are a few of my favorite books from her. From shame and perfectionism to courage and bravery. I recommend these so often! You can find these and other books by her on my Amazon Storefront. https://www.amazon.com/shop/briannephil0b/media/amzn1.ideas.media.ID2J21MTN7U4?ref_=aipsfmedialist

Anxiety has a way of making us think some problems are really big. BUT, if you zoom out and gain some perspective, you’ll likely see the problem is manageable and not as big as you thought.

Trying new things is scary. When we put ourselves out there, we worry about judgment, what people might say, etc. I’m here to tell you to do that vulnerable thing anyway. Be courageous. Be you and do what makes you happy.

If there is something you’ve been waiting to start, a business, a hobby, a side hustle, a goal… why wait? There will never be the “perfect time.” Sometimes the best next step is to just get started.

For anyone with a tween reader looking for their next read, my daughter loved this series! It's an early prime day deal today... 55% the list price. Less than $25 for the whole series!
