This post is sponsored by The Home Depot. My favorable opinion of The Home Depot and their DIY Workshops are completely my own.

Last week I told you about a fun DIY wood doormat project that I would be creating and sharing along with some other super talented bloggers. Today I’m sharing my version of the DIY wood doormat!
DIY Wooden Stenciled DoormatI tend to change my doormat out with the seasons because they tend to get yucky after bearing the elements. I was so happy to whip up with wooden doormat because I feel like it’s a tough and more practical doormat than any I’ve had before.

I’m always up for a good stencil project, it’s a fun way to personalize anything! In order to personalize my wooden doormat a bit, I stenciled a house right onto the doormat. I think it adds just enough warmth without taking away from the already great detail of the wooden doormat (hi, sisal rope!).

DIY Workshop wooden doormat

What’s awesome is that you can learn to build a DIY wooden doormat just like this at The Home Depot DIY Workshop. You can check out your local store and register for free. The Home Depot offers Workshops at all of their store locations. They’ve got three types of Workshops: Do It Yourself (DIY), Do It Herself (DIH), and Kids. If there is anything you’ve been wanting to learn, chances are there is workshop for it. I love the the workshops take the mystery and frankly scary part out of DIY and renovating with step by step demonstrations. I told you how I learned how to build an Adirondack chair a few years ago at the DIH workshop and it was so fun!

With spring here, you’ll want to dress up that front porch area – and what better way to begin with a stylish doormat that you can DIY.

I’m not the only one that’s customized an awesome wooden doormat. A few of my pals are all sharing their DIY wooden doormats as well! You don’t want to miss all of the ways you can make this project your own!

    Dude – I think this would be amazing as a gift for someone who relocates a lot! Or as college kids so that they can take home with them! Awesome!

#ad Homeschool/General parent “pro” tip - buy #ad Homeschool/General parent “pro” tip - buy a shower caddy and stuff it full of art supplies to keep your kids from having their markers and crayons all over the place. For real though, this was a game changer. Previously, I had one hard and heavy caddy for all of our supplies that I would plop on the table during our school day but I found my kids constantly getting up to grab a pink crayon or the blue marker. Or at the end of the day things weren’t getting put away properly and the next day we couldn’t find the glue or the scissors. Now, they each have a caddy that they are responsible for. I’ve partnered with @walmart to share this simple organizing solution. The girls keep their supplies together and carry the caddy around to wherever they choose to school that day/minute. I used my Walmart+ membership again to pull this off. I was able to order all the art caddy necessities online using the W+ free shipping, no order minimum (excludes oversized/freight & Marketplace items) benefit so I can limit my time in stores. #walmartplus
Sitting here thinking about everything that’s go Sitting here thinking about everything that’s gotten me through this last year.
1. My family - having my girls home has been everything I never knew I needed. 
1a. My mom - in those early pandemic days, when we didn’t leave the house, she would meet me halfway between here and Vegas. We would sit in the middle of the desert with our masks on and just visit. I needed that so much and I know she did too.
2. My friends - it’s hard to imagine making it through this year without the friendships I have. They’ve carried me. A small group of neighbors here that would meet at the park for some outdoor fellowship and our weekly dinners made life feel a little more normal. Having regular calls with my best friend in FL was gold especially since we can’t see each other. And regular chats with @bykaithanson got me through especially in those early days.
3. Regular therapy - if I wasn’t already going before all this happened I surely would need to now. This all is very heavy stuff and having someone that is outside your circle to talk to is so important. This saves me again and again.
4. Making bread. I started making last year so when it blew up during that first quarantine I was so excited that we all were baking together. Whenever I’m feeling anxious making dough helps.
5. Exercise - this was the year I finally made exercise a priority. I love how much better I feel when I move my body each day. I’m less anxious and I’m more at peace.
6. All the technology that connects us. Marco Polo, FaceTime, texting, FB Messenger, all of it. Being able to reach all of my loved ones with the tips of my fingers has made it a lot easier when I can’t see them.
7. Television - how many shows have we binged this year? I don’t even know but I remember tackling Friday Night Lights in the beginning of the pandemic and being so sad it was over. 
8. This community. One thing I wanted in 2020 was to CONNECT with you all here and that has happened and its been wonderful getting to know each of you!
💙
We’ve been through a lot this year what has carried you? Tag a friend that’s gotten you through. 
Hoping and praying for a truly happy new year. 💙💙
Merry Christmas from our home to yours! I wish you Merry Christmas from our home to yours! I wish you everything good this Christmas and in the new year. 🎄
#ad Fun festive morning with the girls! My girls l #ad Fun festive morning with the girls! My girls love making and baking anything! We made cinnamon roll Christmas trees then decorated them with m&ms and sprinkles. I bought everything from Walmart, used canned cinnamon rolls to make them quick and easy so we could focus our energy on decorating them. Holiday memories made! How are you making memories with your family this season? @walmart http://liketk.it/34rdO #liketkit @liketoknow.it #walmart
I want to hear about your collections!! I don’t I want to hear about your collections!! I don’t collect much but I do have a few Christmas things that I’ve been collecting over the years. These nutcrackers are one. The girls pick out a new one each year. I have a small collection little white village houses and since the first year we were married we bought a peace dove ornament from Pier 1 (Li Bien brand) - they quit selling them so this will be the first in 14 years that we don’t get one of those. What do you collect???

I really don’t love this kitchen but I’ve worked hard to make it easier on the eyes with a faux backsplash and with some mini wreaths on the cabs. Feelin’ festive. Sources for the backsplash are on the blog + @liketoknow.it 👍
