Looking for inexpensive ways to decorate your home? Try using wall hooks. They come in a variety of shapes and sizes, and can easily be used to help decorate your home. Here are six ways to use hooks in a decorative manner.

1. Decorate a Blank Wall

Many flea markets and antique stores sell rustic hooks that would be beautiful on your walls. Arrange several of them in a pattern to create an eye-catching piece of art. You can also use them as a decorative alternative to towel hooks in the bathroom and kitchen.

2. Arrange a Collage

If you have several pictures you want to display throughout your home, use wall hooks to set them up in decorative patterns. Use hooks for displaying your pictures is a simple way to decorate every room of your home. Select frames you love for each picture, then arrange them in different patterns to hang around your home. Use the wall hooks to hang them in the pattern of your design.

3. Create a Unique Coat Rack

Instead of using a boring coat rack in your front entrance, use decorative hooks, such as wooden hooks, for a rustic feeling. Wooden hooks come in a variety of shapes and sizes. You can even find rustic wood pieces at salvage yards and make them into hooks by attaching hooks from the hardware store to them. This great organizational project using hooks will be sure to impress your guests.

4. Hang String Lights

String lights offer a beautiful way to decorate any home in your room. You don’t need to wait for the holidays to hang lights in your home. A simple way to add some beautiful lighting is by using wall hooks. Set them up in a unique pattern, or simply line them in rows, and string the lights around them. You can also attach the lights to shelves and furniture to add more light to your rooms.

5. Use Hooks as Knobs

Instead of using typical cabinet and drawer knobs and pulls, use hooks. You’ll want to select hooks with smooth edges. You can use them in your kitchen and bathroom cabinets and drawers, on furniture pieces, and storage boxes.

6. Create Art from Hooks

You don’t have to place anything on the wall hooks to make them decorative. The hooks can be your wall decor. Choose hooks that match your home’s décor, then arrange them in patterns on your wall. You can create animals, flowers, cityscapes, and more. Use your imagination. Sketch some ideas on paper first, then use the sketch to draw out the design on your walls. When you’re sure you have the pattern exactly how you want it, hang the hooks to create the art pieces.

These six ideas will help you decorate your home on a budget. Choose inexpensive hooks, and come up with a plan to spread them around your home. You can select matching hooks to use throughout your home, choose different hooks for different rooms, or go really eclectic and use different hooks in all of your designs. Be creative, and have fun!

Looking at pictures of my last birth makes me grie Looking at pictures of my last birth makes me grieve my baby in Heaven that I just lost a few weeks ago. 

Knowing all the firsts we won’t be getting. All the newborn snuggles, that new baby smell, the joy of breastfeeding, it’s all gone. Slipped through my fingers in a moment, for no reason. 

No one thinks it will ever happen to them. Nothing prepares you for the loss of your child and no one can fully understand and appreciate the intense level of grief and pain until it happens to you. And if you do not understand this kind of grief, consider yourself very, very blessed and fortunate. 

Sometimes being open to life, also means being open to loss. 💔

A few weeks ago, we were planning to announce that baby #6 would be joining our crew in January 2023, but instead we've been processing the death of our beloved child... 

At our 20 week anatomy scan, when we were joyfully expecting to see what our little babe looked like, we were met the words that will haunt us forever - "We can't find a heartbeat."

Two days later, we found ourselves in a foreign environment, after 5 beautiful homebirths, naturally delivering our stillborn son in a hospital. 

Dylan Marinus Ballard was born on August 31st, (our first son's birthday) at 6:43pm and weighing only 7.5 oz. 

Tearfully and filled with grief beyond words, we had to say hello and goodbye at the same time. Our beautiful son. 

Seeing his face, holding his tiny body, and admiring his little toes that looked just like daddy's was just a glimpse into the miracle of life that God allows us to partake in. When you fully realize the sanctity of human life, it makes it even harder to say goodbye. Not being able to take my baby home with me was the most gut wrenching, heartbreaking pain imaginable. It is a pain unlike all others that only mothers who have lost a child can even begin to understand. 

The hardest part of losing a child, is living everyday afterwards. It's such a devastating loss, a loss so unimaginable, that you have no idea how you will get through each day or survive the grief that is in your heart. No matter what age a child is, a parent's heart is forever tied to that child and there's nothing that will break that tie, including the passing of time. That's the beauty of unconditional love. 

Our only consolation is knowing that our little saint is in the loving arms of Jesus now. We look forward to meeting him in Heaven someday.

My son is loving our @treasuresfromjennifer calendar and keeping track of the days now. He keeps telling me how many days it is until the first day of fall rather than asking me 900 times “when is it going to be fall, mama?!” 😜

Do you have a calendar or weather board in your home for your children?
