Five Straightforward Home Items That Make Us Glad

Sometimes it is the little things that can make any house feel like a glad home. Here are five of our go-to little things that make our days simply a little bit sweeter.

1. Our shower radio – it makes it feel more like a mini escape and helps us conserve water because we have a two song limit.

2. Large glass cereal jars – they are so much more charming than pouring from the box- plus we consistently know when we are running low.

3. Fresh flowers and green leafy plants – they purify the air and inject a pleasant dose of natural texture- plus it is pleasant to fill a house with life, both figuratively and literally.

4. Our backyard firepit – when Monday looms there are consistently melty homemade s’mores on Sunday night to remind us that the weekend is not quite over yet.

5. Baskets full of magazines and stacks of hardcover books– they coax us to sit down and relax for a moment and they simply make a room feel more lived in and inviting.

So that is our swift little rundown of five things that bring a smile to our faces (all without breaking the bank). In fact we spent about $12 on number one, around $15 on number two, simply $5 to $10 a pop on number three, a mere $28 to build number four, and simply a few dollars a month on number five (thanks to subscriptions, which save us mucho bucks off the cover price). What about you folks? Do you have any affordable little upgrades that simply seem to make life better at your casa? We’d enjoy to hear five things (or even simply one) that make you glad to be home.
