Happy Tuesday! I hope you are all doing well and staying warm. I have been having a rough go with the weather. The last few mornings there has been some thick frost on my car. I know I am from the north and should be able to handle this but my heart is in the south right now and I am sensitive.
Things have been pretty good over here. This weekend was super busy. We have been in major cleaning/organizing/purging modes. I have been trying to follow along with a daily/weekly/monthly organizing schedule that I recently found and have been trying it out. So far I am loving it. It has made cleaning so much easier and my house has been so tidy. You can read about it HERE. I also mentioned it in last week’s Tidbits HERE.
On top of that we have been wanting to organize our closets, get rid of junk and clutter, and make space. We did that on Saturday and everything looks great! There is so much more space. We purged old towels, old sheets and comforters we don’t need. Now there is space to hide any clutter and for any future storage needs.
We recently folded and put all of our throw blankets into a square, wicker, lidded hamper that I found cheap at a thrift store. We took the hamper bag out and put all the blankets inside. Not only does it look nice with our decor but it is a clutter free option for the throws. The kids have one on everyday they are home. I found a similar option HERE.

2. What We’ve Been Watching:
If you read last week’s tidbits, you may have read that we started watching Yellowstone. We just finished season 1 and started season 2. Honestly, it is just so good. My husband says he loves it and has been listening to the music. He said it makes him want to be a cowboy. I love the stories of some love but also am just obsessed with Beth. She really is such a bitch and I love it. She is powerful and makes it be clear that she is stronger and more powerful than the men around her. It is empowering and amazing to see. I won’t offer any spoilers.
