Send me a one-way text about this episode! I'll give you a shout out or answer your question on a future episode.

Welcome to the FIRST EVER Monday Motivation episode on The Art of Home Podcast! 🎉 Every other Monday, I am bringing you a little dose of random homemaking inspiration to help you kick off your week.
Seasonal decorating helps us embody the natural rhythms of the year through our homemaking. This brings familiarity, comfort and delight to us and those in our home.
In this episode I'm sharing how to decorate for summer without it looking like Hobby Lobby exploded in your house.
I’m going to give you 3 tips for non-tacky seasonal decorating, including my top 5 versatile decor items I use in all my seasonal decorating. Then I will give you lots of ideas for 5 different summer decor themes. Be sure to check the show notes for even more inspiration.

I will also be answering a listener question about how to establish a regular quiet time when you are overwhelmed with the idea and busy with little ones.
