Top 10 DIY Posts of 2017

Simple Cozy Charm - Top 10 DIY posts of 2017

Don’t Worry, I Won’t Ask…

Happy New Year!  First and foremost I want to wish you all blessings in the coming year.   Don’t worry, I am not going to ask you if you have any new year’s resolutions, because I know the amount of weight that question can have, and frankly I tense up when someone asks me.If you are someone who sets goals and have your day planner mapped out for 2018… well then I am in awe of you!!  I like to think that I am a planner too, but I have also learned to take my life one month at a time ( speaking from past experiences ).  I am someone that tends to look at a list and think it all needs accomplished in the beginning, therefore; leaving more time at the end for…. for what? More projects?  Well, yes, quite honestly.   That philosophy has it’s advantages but it can also drive one into crazy, psycho mode ( ahem, cough cough ) and no one likes to be around THAT person.

Goals are important to set.  I do agree with this concept, and I believe stating them out loud whether to another person or writing them publicly will keep you accountable.  My 2018 goals are set a little high, but I personally desire that push.    You have all been an intricate part to my success thus far as a blogger, and I cannot find words to thank you enough for your continued support.  I look forward to sharing my accomplishments, and yes even failures with all of you this year.

A Look Back…

Without overwhelming you and I both, I will save spilling my top goals for the new year in another post 😉  2017 was a big year.  On this day last year I was overwhelmed with all that would need accomplished by Lauren’s graduation.  I started painting all the trim remember?  Side note… I am feeling a bit rambly friends, so before I drag this post out any further here is a recap of my top 10 DIY posts in 2017 😀  Click the title to be taken to that post.

The corners of my mouth are turned up as I look back at 2017 in admiration and gratitude.  Many opportunities passed my way, and with the overwhelming support and help from my husband, I am both honored and pleased to have accomplished some large projects.  Inspiring you all is icing on the cake, and I can’t wait to share more in 2018.  I couldn’t do this whole blog thing without your encouragement along the way, so please know I appreciate you all from the depths of my heart.  I would love to hear about your accomplishments and goals for 2018.  Feel free to share them in the comments, after all we are here to support each other <3

xoxo Martha

welcome to simple cozy charm

I’m Martha, welcome to my blog!  I am a wife and a mother to 3 beautiful daughters. Making our home pretty is one of my favorite hobbies and I get so inspired by changes and events that happen in every day life.  Simple and cozy is a must around our house; I want family and friends to feel right at home.  My roots are farm grown, so I love adding sweet charm from my parents’ homestead, cozy decorating ideas, and simple diy tutorials.  So please, stay awhile, browse a bit, and let me know what inspires you!
