Reminders To Myself For Future Reference:

Reminders to myself for future reference:

Paint your mum a painting every year for her birthday

Write letters not cards for birthdays

Keep lots of children’s literature in your home for all the visiting kids (and let them keep them if they love it)

All your guests should have their poloroids taken, and put on the fridge

Couches face each other not the tv

Do I need a tv? (Laptops and projectors work just fine)

Get big jars for preserving lemons

Wallpaper can go on the ceiling too!

Books shouldn’t be empty (sticky notes and flowers need somewhere to go)

Bookshelves should have board games, magazines, photos, ceramics and of course books.

Ugly armchairs are investments

Have paintings and art on the wall please

That being said, have beautiful bowls and ceramics first, they’re both art, but you can’t eat off a canvas

Leave notes around the house, and make sure to add a drawing to make it engaging

Lots and lots of lamps and ambient lights, and make sure they’re warm toned

Journaling makes you happy, stop forgetting that.

Big calendars are helpful

You like watercolour more than acrylic, but your better at acrylics (buy less acrylic)

A physical hand written recipe book is useful, you hate most recipes you get online.

Librarians are lovely people and they won’t be mad at you (just return the book)

Read one book before buying two more

You don’t actually like cereal that much

You should have a rocking chair one day.
