make my home so darn comforting that everyone who enters falls into a zen coma

of my decluttered bedroom.

first picture…

I”m well on my way here. After the whirlwind bedroom makeover (basically putting the finishing touches on the remodel that was finished last April), we finished the shelving in the entryway. And I remembered…my gosh…I USED to light candles everynight…we used to listen to soft music every night…what happened?

Well, lots of things, but anyway, I reclaimed the candle lighting last week. Every night for the past four nights now. And the boys are still so excited every night…Mommy, what are we celebrating? Who’s special day is it?

My mom and dad used to have candles, wine and music every night when I was little. Oh and the cheese and cracker thing before dinner. And during the winter, we would always have hot tea with milk and honey before bedtime.

Talk about your zen comas! Anyway, looking to reclaim this feeling of serenity.
