Why I Am Not a Home Décor Blogger

I have a number of interests besides cooking, and I love to visit some of the home décor blogs and see what wonderful things those bloggers are up to.  They have so many good ideas, and I come away impressed, thinking, “I could do that, too.”

Then I look around and see my special and unique decorating and realize, probably NOT.  I am pretty much “stuck” with what I have.

Here is my mantle decoration:

Sunday thinks that she is the only thing that belongs on the mantel and will push off onto the floor anything else that is put there.

Here is my bed decoration:

Cally spends most of every day hanging out on the bed.  No, the bed is not made.  She usually gets there before I have a chance to make it and likes to be right in the middle.

Here is my houseplant:

This is the only thing I seem to be able to keep alive.

No matter how much I admire the home décor bloggers, the above are a few reasons I will not be joining them anytime soon. I think I will just continue to blog about food, so I will be back later to write about those green onions.

  1. Thanks for the cat pictures. I don't keep many houseplants alive either. The only one I've managed over the years is an ivy plant that was given to me when my oldest was born almost 8 years ago. It is a very forgiving plant otherwise it would have died shortly after I received it.

  2. LOL! It's funny you should say your kitty's are home decor because I always say that my cats make the best ornaments in the house which is why I don't want a cluttered house, I like a minimalistic look as it is easy to clean with these little fluff balls laying about. I'm in an apartment in Miami and my kitties crystal sand and food are costing me a small fortune. Luckily I've saved $870 last year using a Tracfone SVC phone and I can spend more on my cats or having friends over for dinner.
    Can you give us any recipes that I can put in a slow cooker? Ones that are economical, or recipes that don't take long to make? I'd be grateful for any ideas.
    I love your kitty pics, can we see more on your future blogs?
