We moved into our new home 2 weeks ago today. And the world did not stop for me to unpack. Can you believe it?
Elle started a science fair experiment, Locke got sick, Chad went out of town, Croft had a birthday, and I helped host a baby shower, which means I am not as far along in the unpacking process as I wanted to be today. But I am happy with where I am because I have made progress every single day.
While my office still looks like this:
I do have a table centerpiece thanks to a recent windstorm.
The kids’ bedrooms are starting to come together.
My linen closet is organized.
I have at least one piece of wall decor hung.
My mantle feels festive.
And I can park in my garage!
I have made progress every single day. And isn’t that all it is about?
Whether it be just 1 lost pound, 1 read chapter, 1 more dollar saved, 1 new vegetable, 1 more kind word, or 1 unpacked box; life is really just about making progress.
![I spoke in church today and said the Atonement of Jesus Christ is the greatest act of Charity. I read Moroni 7:45-47 to make my point. But wherever there was the word ‘Charity’ I substituted it out for ‘the Atonement of Jesus Christ.’ See if these scripture verses now have new meaning for you:
“And the Atonement of Jesus Christ suffererth long, and is kind, and envieth not, and is not puffed up, seeketh not her own, is not easily provoked, thinketh no evil, and rejoiceth in the truth,
[The Atonement of Jesus Christ] beareth all things, believeth all things, hopeth all things, endureth all things.
Wherefore, my beloved brethren, if ye have not the Atonement of Jesus Christ, ye are nothing, for the Atonement of Jesus Christ never faileth. Wherefore, cleave unto the Atonement of Jesus Christ, which is the greatest of all, for all things must fail-
But the Atonement of Jesus Christ is the pure love of Christ, and it endureth forever; and whoso is found possessed of it at the last day, it shall be well with him.”
So Easter really reminds us of love. The first and greatest commandment.](https://www.raisinglemons.com/wp-content/plugins/instagram-feed-pro/img/placeholder.png)
Where is that big huge E from? I want it!
Erin, this is the cutest thing I own and that is why it went up first. I got it at Anthropolgie. It wasn’t cheap, but I a letter is timeless and meaningful.
Where did you get the basket that hooked up the shelf?
At Wal-Mart in the storage organization section. They are great for maximizing space. I have some in my pantry and laundry room too.
Lacey, I saw those baskets at WalMart last week. I saw it by the cutlery trays.
