Our Bedroom Makeover For Distance Learning!

We just finished our first week of schooling from home. Words I truly never thought I would speak, but here we are! Being the eternal optimist that I am, I cried for about a day when I saw the writing on the wall that we would be distance learning, then decided to put all that energy into making the year as magical as we can. Luckily, we had a perfect spot ready for a desk in the boys’ room, so I got to work! Now that we’ve got most of our setup dialed in, I am excited to share some of my favorite finds for this double desk learning space. Here’s our bedroom makeover for distance learning!

There is even an entire holiday dedicated to three of my favorite things – family, food, and football. It is a season that speaks to my soul. Not to mention, it includes my birthday! I guess my love affair with fall was just meant to be.

As things got more serious and he began spending time with my son, we seemed to click as a family unit right away and the transition from two to three went a lot smoother than I had thought possible for a blended family. It was only when we were bringing another little boy into the world that I realized we had completely different parenting styles, and raising these boys together would not always be a walk in the park.
