The thing about creating a cozy home that I&#8217;ve really learned these past two years is that everything doesn&#8217;t have to be perfect to be cozy. Cozy can be right where your family and the things you love live. I&#8217;m learning to not sweat the small stuff and to let the anxiety of living in a fixer upper roll right down my back. It&#8217;s been a struggle for me in the past and it hasn&#8217;t come easy but the Lord has really allowed me over the last two years to let that go. I&#8217;m learned to enjoy my home in the midst of the imperfections.\u00a0 If I&#8217;m honest with myself I would be bored to death with a finished house anyways!<\/p>\n<p>Have a great weekend everyone and hop over to the next blog for some cozy inspiration.
