Thank you so much for joining me in our journey of 2013. I began blogging in 2011 to share our life with you and I have so enjoyed building relationships with other bloggers this past year. This is the first year I’ve really taken it seriously and dedicated more time to my blog. It is also […]
I completely stepped out of my comfort zone to sign up for the 3rd Annual Arkansas Women Bloggers Unplugged Conference. Arkansas Women Bloggers hosts a conference at a different place in Arkansas each year. This year it was right outside of Little Rock at Ferncliff Camp and Conference Center so it was about a 4 hour […]
I LOVE to teach. But let’s be real y’all… we also LOVE not teaching in the summer. I have a rule of not going to my classroom until August 1st. But we are leaving August 1st for another trip. And.. will be gone the next weekend too. Uh oh. That means I’ll be returning to my classroom […]

Hey y’all! I’m Katie- Welcome to Decorate My Life! This is the journey of a newlywed crafter, blogger, and teacher. Why the site name? My very favorite artist, Leigh Standley, (also known as Curly Girl) created a perfect card that says: “True friends see us and all of our pieces, not as clutter but as decoration.” Here I collect all […]
Looking for a quick and easy back to school gift for a friend or colleague? I created these last night and gave them to my 2nd grade team, admin, and office staff today. I used my favorite: Arbonne’s FC5 Cooling Foot Creme. But you could use any kind of lotion (full size or mini) for this! A […]
It’s officially summer for us teacher folks! My sixth year of teaching is complete and I’m making my list of books to read this summer. So comment away with your favorites! Here’s what’s next on my “Want to Read” list on Good Reads: I have some great recommendations to share, too. Here are some books […]
