This week, we’re talking about creating rituals in your home. I rounded up some things that bring comfort and joy in my home, along with a few rituals I would love to develop. We don’t need a special occasion for fresh flowers or linen napkins. Light the candle. Turn on the lamps. Let’s make every day feel special by spending time doing the things that we love.

1. Custom House Portrait $58 I gave this to all of my sisters depicting our childhood home and there. were. tears!
2. Checkered Doormat $58 To make your front door feel like home.
3. Pacific Maidenhair Fern $64 Watering the plants is on my list of rituals to adopt ;)
4. Outdoor String Lights $45 (On sale for $28!) A budget way to make your outdoor space feel magical.
5. Dinner Bell $24 Ringing the bell for dinner is much less hectic than yelling up to the girls.
6. Traeger Grill $1999 Nothing feels more like home than Chris grilling and the girls running around out back.
7. Bird Feeder $78 To spend your mornings watching the birds.
8. Candlestick $34 Make every day a special occasion.
