For the Littles

Hi, I’m Cherie! Welcome to my blog!

Visit me on Instagram

You know when your heart is so full, and you have a million things you’d love to say, but don’t have the words to do so? That is me right now. Today was an experience of a lifetime when dream team @nicole_teut00 and @wildeproject came all the way to my little abode to shoot some images for @betterhomesandgardens Christmas Ideas magazine, coming out later this year! I feel like I have two new awesome friends in Jay and Nicole, and felt so honored to have them in my home, and watch them create pure magic before my eyes. I have been blown away by everyone’s love and support in the past, and feel no differently today. You, my Instagram friends, have lifted me higher than I ever could’ve possibly gone on my own. Thanks for always spreading kindness, and encouragement. It means a whole heap to this rather ordinary, but day-dream-believer girl. 💕💕💕 Yup, a Christmas post after Christmas. But please hear me out. 🎄 This darling pre lit tree and sled are currently 70% off, and I don’t think taking advantage of after Christmas sales is crazy at all! 🙌🏻 I shared the link for this tree in stories. (Along with my giddy voice giving you a closer, more detailed look at the tree) 🙈 Sorry not sorry. I can’t help it. 😬 Can you blame me though? This lifelike tree and sled are so cuuuute! 😍😍😍 #chalkart #christmaschalkart #ohchristmastree #christmasbanner #christmasgarland School is officially back in session, and I’m not sad about it. 😂🙈 It was an awesome winter break, but I think my family thrives more from a good routine. And the extra motivation that the new year has brought is a bonus. 🙌🏻 I’m not too big on making resolutions, and find it important to be making and striving to reach goals no matter what time of year it is. But there is something about the start of a new year that feels refreshing. I often find that same feeling at the start of a new week, or even the start of a new day. They’re all a new opportunity to strive to be a little better. 🙌🏻❤️ #mykidsdigs #littlegirlsroomdecor #girlsroominspo #kidsspaces #kidsgallerywall This past year, especially within just these past few months and even days, many have experienced great heart ache. Some of the hardest trials this world has to offer. My heart goes out to each of them. I pray they may find peace in their hearts, and new light within the new year. 💕 My “top nine” doesn’t match what Instagram made my top nine to be... basically the algorithm kicked my butt after the first of the year- and all my “most liked photos” ended in April. Honestly, I was annoyed that my “top nine” didn’t even showcase my full year. 😒 It kind of felt like the last 8 months must’ve not even mattered. So the first 4 photos are “correct” per actual likes, the rest I chose myself. 😂 Maybe they weren’t the most liked. Maybe I can blame it on the algorithm. Maybe in reality they just weren’t that great? It doesn’t matter. These were the projects I am proud to call my own creations. I was excited while putting together my daughter’s room, and love the memories I made with my sister installing that wallpaper. I thought I was rather clever making two chalkboards into “one big one” to create this unique Halloween display. I had been waiting in anticipation for months to bust out my Harry Potter decor. My Christmas mantle was my personal favorite of the year. And maybe I’m in the minority here, but those fox and hare napkin rings make my heart pitter patter. 😍😍😍 I don’t see the algorithm doing me any favors in the new year, and I think many of us saw the effects (or lack thereof) this past year. It kind of sucks after all the time and effort you put into something. Trust me, I get it. But I’ve determined to enter the new year not worrying about the algorithm, and continue to do what I have been doing: simply sharing what I love. No algorithm can stop me from creating. It’s what my heart craves. So if the algorithm had you feeling down for a moment, know you’re not alone. It’s actually a pretty minor thing when I consider the friendships and support I have received on this platform. Sure, Instagram hides my posts from 90% of my insta-buddies But the love I receive from you 10% who DO see my photos; y’all blow me away!! THANK YOU for your continued encouragement, love and support. If it weren’t for you I probably would’ve called it quits 6 or 8 months ago. 🙈 Proof how much you each matter. Every act of kindness, no matter how big or small makes a difference. Keep spreading your kindness. It’s infectious. ❤️❤️❤️ #spreadingkindnessin2020 My Christmas is still up, so I think that means it’s ok to still post Christmas photos, right? 😃 I feel like this little display of dishes and snowmen didn’t get enough attention anyway. 😂 So here’s a few more shots for ya. 😘🙌🏻 The truth is, I am going into 2020 with the intention of not rushing anything. So I’m off to a good start. Haha! 😂 Anyway, How was everyone’s Christmas? #christmasshelfie #christmasdecor #whitedishes
