knock, knock.

God bless you

To start the New Year off right I wanted to go through the house and make it into an environment that supports everyone in the family. This is the place we start our day from and so we want to feel energized. This is where we end our day so we need to be able to relax and unwind here. This is where we are together and we want to have fun together and also be able to entertain ourselves. I want our home to become a great launch pad and resting place.

On the drive to Tacoma the other night we talked about two rooms in particular, the family room and the living room. I asked each family member to come up with three words that would describe the way they would like those rooms to be. Than I asked them what activities they would like to do in each of the rooms.

We decided that we would like the living room to be, warm, comfortable, calm and peaceful. The activities we will do here are F.H.E., read, listen to and play music.

In the family room we wanted to be comfortable, warm, fun and relaxing. We will play games, do puzzles, watch TV and movies here.

Now we are arranging each room to better fulfill its function. The books are being removed from the family room and moved to the living room. The games are being moved downstairs.
