When Home Depot asked me to spruce up my front door porch area as a participant in their Style Challenge, Holiday Edition I was a little intimidated. I love to decorate but holiday decorating always seems to elude me as a mom of three boys who works and blogs at 4men1lady.
So this was really going to be a challenge.
This is what our front door porch exterior looked like a year ago.
Since then we've replaced the front door (of course from Home Depot), updated the siding and replaced the

Home Depot Patio Style Challenge Sneak Peak.
I could just sing with glee that spring is finally here-(ish)!
It's supposed to get up to 75 degrees this week (which is the temperature I imagine Heaven to be set at all. The. Time).
I was just about to put my house up for sale and move back to Arizona but then the sun came out and all was right with my world again.
This patio has been the backdrop for quite a few parties.
There was this fun soirée, then an all boys party, we can't forget this fun fiesta and then I did this
DIY wall shelves and a giveaway!
I've decided to actually put some real thought and effort in to decorating this holiday.
This year's theme at my house is "It's a white Christmas" (would you expect any other color from me?).
One of the questions I ALWAYS get is, "How can you have so much white in your house with kids?"
My reply is always, "White keeps you honest".
When there's dirt somewhere, I see it and I clean it up (or just leave it). I don't like dirt to be camouflaged so I never know it's there.
On the flip side, did
Chalkboard greetings and a free printable.
A friend came to my door for the first time and remarked how cute my patio chalkboard was. I noticed I had a design on there from Valentine's Day. I guess, "Roses are Red, Violets are Blue, Sugar is Sweet and I Love You" is a nice message any time of year but it was really time for a change. When nothing but kids come in and out of your house you don't really pay attention because they could care less.
I pulled out my trusty overhead projector, printed my design on to a transparency and shot
What’s on our chalkboard this month?
I'm getting a jump on the Valentine's spirit and have decorated our chalkboards with a little love.
I found this great Valentine printable over at Nest of Poises that was too cute to pass up. So I quickly printed it up on a transparency and used my overhead projector to transpose it on to my chalkboard where I traced it.
I then made up another one for our outside chalkboard.
You can view our other chalkboard projects using an overhead projector here and here. If you remember I scored
