I’ve never been the decorating type- so naturally, when I would walk into (or see someones’) home in a picture, I would think, “oh that’s SO wonderful- I wish I had nice stuff like this (or I wish I could decorate like this) or I wish...Insert some random complaint of why I felt ‘bad’ about what I have. -
Before I go into my thoughts on this, I want to start out by saying to anyone that DOES have a well decorated home- I think that is awesome- and DOUBLE awesome if that’s what you LOVE to do!
-
Some people LOVE decorating- and some people don’t- and we are different, and have different tastes in things/hobbies and that’s okay!
-
Moreso in the last year, I have been into getting curious about my strengths (as well as thinking about things I may not enjoy) and leaning into and appreciating things that I love to do. -
Things that I love- include: playing ‘tunnel’ with my kid, building my business, painting, connecting with people, reading, teasing my husband, jumping around, cooking meals etc.
Things I don’t like: Decorating, going through my emails, the fuzz of peaches, when people think I’m being dishonest etc
-
So, I’m leaning into things that I LIKE moreso than things I DISLIKE.
Writing about this also came to mind when I read things about society's pressures and all the things that we are ‘supposed’ to keep up with as mothers these days... one of them being the elusive (for me) “keep a pinterest worthy home”
So here is my truth, I’m saying NO. I’m NOT going to. -
I like it- It’s warm, comfy and it functions and it’s randomly colorful and you might find toilet paper rolls in between the couches and that’s okay (even more so okay if you need to blow your nose) 🤧

What about you? Do you like decorating? No? What’s your favorite part?
