I’ve seen such a surge lately of people who used to blog but kind of abandoned it for the ease of social media, or even newsletter platforms like Substack, who are now returning to a space where they themselves own and control their content. I’ve even seen Pinterest is making a comeback! Truly, what a time.</p> <p><a href="https://www.jackiereeve.com/2024/01/27/dusting-off-this-blog-with-a-quilt/" class="more-link">Read more on Dusting off this blog with a quilt…</a></p> </div> </div>  <div class="bar"> <div class="share">  <a class="share-twitter" onclick="window.open('http://twitter.com/home?status=Dusting off this blog with a quilt - https://www.jackiereeve.com/2024/01/27/dusting-off-this-blog-with-a-quilt/','twitter','width=450,height=300,left='+(screen.availWidth/2-375)+',top='+(screen.availHeight/2-150)+'');return false;" href="http://twitter.com/home?status=Dusting off this blog with a quilt - https://www.jackiereeve.com/2024/01/27/dusting-off-this-blog-with-a-quilt/" title="Dusting off this blog with a quilt" target="blank"><i class="fa fa-twitter"></i></a>  <a class="share-facebook" onclick="window.open('http://www.facebook.com/share.php?u=https://www.jackiereeve.com/2024/01/27/dusting-off-this-blog-with-a-quilt/','facebook','width=450,height=300,left='+(screen.availWidth/2-375)+',top='+(screen.availHeight/2-150)+'');return false;" href="http://www.facebook.com/share.php?u=https://www.jackiereeve.com/2024/01/27/dusting-off-this-blog-with-a-quilt/" title="Dusting off this blog with a quilt" target="blank"><i class="fa fa-facebook"></i></a> <a class="share-google" href="https://plus.google.com/share?url=https://www.jackiereeve.com/2024/01/27/dusting-off-this-blog-with-a-quilt/" onclick="window.open('https://plus.google.com/share?url=https://www.jackiereeve.com/2024/01/27/dusting-off-this-blog-with-a-quilt/','gplusshare','width=450,height=300,left='+(screen.availWidth/2-375)+',top='+(screen.availHeight/2-150)+'');return false;"><i class="fa fa-google-plus"></i></a> <a onClick="MyWindow=window.open('http://pinterest.com/pin/create/button/?url=https://www.jackiereeve.com/2024/01/27/dusting-off-this-blog-with-a-quilt/&media=https://www.jackiereeve.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/01/ACS_0518-scaled.jpg&description=Dusting off this blog with a quilt','MyWindow','width=600,height=400');

I somehow always miss my blogiversary (does anyone still use that word?), and it’s also been a couple of months <a href="https://www.jackiereeve.com/2019/03/21/hs-7th-birthday-weekend/">since I last posted</a>. The week before this blog’s anniversary, we went back east to NJ to visit my mom for H’s spring break, and I got to spend a couple of nights on my own in NYC. The trip was fantastic for so many reasons. Adam gave me a ticket to finally see Hamilton for Christmas, and I just had the most amazing time. And it was great for H to revisit her hometown. She’d been missing NJ a lot, and lately starting to compare what she missed about NJ to what she had in WA. But she came back home to WA with a new appreciation for this new home we’re making in a way I don’t think she would have without a visit back to NJ. After 10 months away, she has changed so much, and I think she was able to enjoy the place where she was born but then get back to her new life out here.</p> <p><a href="https://www.jackiereeve.com/2019/05/27/april-this-blog-turned-11-and-we-went-back-east/" class="more-link">Read more on April in One Post: This Blog Turned 11, and We Went Back East…</a></p> </div> </div>  <div class="bar"> <div class="share">  <a class="share-twitter" onclick="window.open('http://twitter.com/home?status=April in One Post: This Blog Turned 11, and We Went Back East - https://www.jackiereeve.com/2019/05/27/april-this-blog-turned-11-and-we-went-back-east/','twitter','width=450,height=300,left='+(screen.availWidth/2-375)+',top='+(screen.availHeight/2-150)+'');return false;" href="http://twitter.com/home?status=April in One Post: This Blog Turned 11, and We Went Back East - https://www.jackiereeve.com/2019/05/27/april-this-blog-turned-11-and-we-went-back-east/" title="April in One Post: This Blog Turned 11, and We Went Back East" target="blank"><i class="fa fa-twitter"></i></a>  <a class="share-facebook" onclick="window.open('http://www.facebook.com/share.php?u=https://www.jackiereeve.com/2019/05/27/april-this-blog-turned-11-and-we-went-back-east/','facebook','width=450,height=300,left='+(screen.availWidth/2-375)+',top='+(screen.availHeight/2-150)+'');return false;" href="http://www.facebook.com/share.php?u=https://www.jackiereeve.com/2019/05/27/april-this-blog-turned-11-and-we-went-back-east/" title="April in One Post: This Blog Turned 11, and We Went Back East" target="blank"><i class="fa fa-facebook"></i></a> <a class="share-google" href="https://plus.google.com/share?url=https://www.jackiereeve.com/2019/05/27/april-this-blog-turned-11-and-we-went-back-east/" onclick="window.open('https://plus.google.com/share?url=https://www.jackiereeve.com/2019/05/27/april-this-blog-turned-11-and-we-went-back-east/','gplusshare','width=450,height=300,left='+(screen.availWidth/2-375)+',top='+(screen.availHeight/2-150)+'');return false;"><i class="fa fa-google-plus"></i></a> <a onClick="MyWindow=window.open('http://pinterest.com/pin/create/button/?url=https://www.jackiereeve.com/2019/05/27/april-this-blog-turned-11-and-we-went-back-east/&media=https://www.jackiereeve.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/05/EWCB7090-copy.jpg&description=April in One Post: This Blog Turned 11, and We Went Back East','MyWindow','width=600,height=400');

This space is one of my favorite places in our farmhouse. I’ve always wanted a mudroom. I grew up in a small apartment and never lived in a house until we bought the one in NJ that we left last year. Years of looking at design magazines, and my year as an interior design student in college, just left me with this picture in my head of what domestic living should look like. And one of those pictures is having a happy, functional space for the mess of everyday life. Not to hide it away, but to give it its own room to kind of revel in the mess of family life, without destroying the rest of the house. This is also the height of privilege, having an entire room in a home that’s basically for dirty shoes, but as a kid with limited privacy and space it’s just something I dreamed of. And here’s the before and after for ours.</p> <p><a href="https://www.jackiereeve.com/2019/02/24/our-mudroom/" class="more-link">Read more on Our Mudroom…</a></p> </div> </div>  <div class="bar"> <div class="share">  <a class="share-twitter" onclick="window.open('http://twitter.com/home?status=Our Mudroom - https://www.jackiereeve.com/2019/02/24/our-mudroom/','twitter','width=450,height=300,left='+(screen.availWidth/2-375)+',top='+(screen.availHeight/2-150)+'');return false;" href="http://twitter.com/home?status=Our Mudroom - https://www.jackiereeve.com/2019/02/24/our-mudroom/" title="Our Mudroom" target="blank"><i class="fa fa-twitter"></i></a>  <a class="share-facebook" onclick="window.open('http://www.facebook.com/share.php?u=https://www.jackiereeve.com/2019/02/24/our-mudroom/','facebook','width=450,height=300,left='+(screen.availWidth/2-375)+',top='+(screen.availHeight/2-150)+'');return false;" href="http://www.facebook.com/share.php?u=https://www.jackiereeve.com/2019/02/24/our-mudroom/" title="Our Mudroom" target="blank"><i class="fa fa-facebook"></i></a> <a class="share-google" href="https://plus.google.com/share?url=https://www.jackiereeve.com/2019/02/24/our-mudroom/" onclick="window.open('https://plus.google.com/share?url=https://www.jackiereeve.com/2019/02/24/our-mudroom/','gplusshare','width=450,height=300,left='+(screen.availWidth/2-375)+',top='+(screen.availHeight/2-150)+'');return false;"><i class="fa fa-google-plus"></i></a> <a onClick="MyWindow=window.open('http://pinterest.com/pin/create/button/?url=https://www.jackiereeve.com/2019/02/24/our-mudroom/&media=https://www.jackiereeve.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/02/mudroombeforeafter.jpg&description=Our Mudroom','MyWindow','width=600,height=400'); return false;" style="cursor:pointer;" target="_blank" id="pinterest-share"><i class="fa fa-pinterest"></i></a> </div> </div> </div> </div> <div class="masonr" style="width:450px"> <div class="post post-17485 type-post status-publish format-standard has-post-thumbnail hentry category-crafts category-events-celebrations category-projects tag-crafts tag-kid-crafts tag-snow-day tag-valentines-day">   <a class="featured-image" href="https://www.jackiereeve.com/2019/02/21/valentine-love-bugs/" title="Valentine Love Bugs"><img width="565" height="377" src="https://www.jackiereeve.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/03/DSC07764_edited-1-565x377.jpg" class="attachment-medium-image size-medium-image wp-post-image" alt="" srcset="https://www.jackiereeve.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/03/DSC07764_edited-1-565x377.jpg 565w, https://www.jackiereeve.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/03/DSC07764_edited-1-300x200.jpg 300w, https://www.jackiereeve.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/03/DSC07764_edited-1-768x512.jpg 768w, https://www.jackiereeve.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/03/DSC07764_edited-1-590x394.jpg 590w, https://www.jackiereeve.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/03/DSC07764_edited-1-976x651.jpg 976w, https://www.jackiereeve.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/03/DSC07764_edited-1.jpg 1000w" sizes="(max-width: 565px) 100vw, 565px" /></a> <div class="clear"></div> <div class="frame"> <div class="title-wrap"> <h2 class="entry-title"><a href="https://www.jackiereeve.com/2019/02/21/valentine-love-bugs/" title="Valentine Love Bugs">Valentine Love Bugs</a></h2> <div class="title-meta"> <span><i class="fa fa-user"></i><a href="https://www.jackiereeve.com/author/admin/" title="Posts by jackie" rel="author">jackie</a></span> <span><i class="fa fa-calendar"></i><a href="https://www.jackiereeve.com/2019/02/21/">February 21, 2019</a></span> <span class="categories"><i class="fa fa-align-justify"></i><a href="https://www.jackiereeve.com/category/old-blog/making/crafts/" rel="category tag">Crafts</a>, <a href="https://www.jackiereeve.com/category/old-blog/playing/events-celebrations/" rel="category tag">Events and Celebrations</a>, <a href="https://www.jackiereeve.com/category/old-blog/projects/" rel="category tag">Projects</a></span> <span class="tags"><i class="fa fa-tag"></i><a href="https://www.jackiereeve.com/tag/crafts/" rel="tag">Crafts</a>, <a href="https://www.jackiereeve.com/tag/kid-crafts/" rel="tag">kid crafts</a>, <a href="https://www.jackiereeve.com/tag/snow-day/" rel="tag">snow day</a>, <a href="https://www.jackiereeve.com/tag/valentines-day/" rel="tag">valentine's day</a></span> </div> </div> <div class="post-content"> <p>Here’s a simple, quick, cute project to make with your kids.

It was the <a href="https://www.jackiereeve.com/2019/02/09/snowfall-in-washington/">fourth snowstorm</a> we’d had in just over a week, February has been wild around here.聽 So one day while H was home and I was working, I set her up to work on these for school.</p> <p><a href="https://www.jackiereeve.com/2019/02/21/valentine-love-bugs/" class="more-link">Read more on Valentine Love Bugs…</a></p> </div> </div>  <div class="bar"> <div class="share">  <a class="share-twitter" onclick="window.open('http://twitter.com/home?status=Valentine Love Bugs - https://www.jackiereeve.com/2019/02/21/valentine-love-bugs/','twitter','width=450,height=300,left='+(screen.availWidth/2-375)+',top='+(screen.availHeight/2-150)+'');return false;" href="http://twitter.com/home?status=Valentine Love Bugs - https://www.jackiereeve.com/2019/02/21/valentine-love-bugs/" title="Valentine Love Bugs" target="blank"><i class="fa fa-twitter"></i></a>  <a class="share-facebook" onclick="window.open('http://www.facebook.com/share.php?u=https://www.jackiereeve.com/2019/02/21/valentine-love-bugs/','facebook','width=450,height=300,left='+(screen.availWidth/2-375)+',top='+(screen.availHeight/2-150)+'');return false;" href="http://www.facebook.com/share.php?u=https://www.jackiereeve.com/2019/02/21/valentine-love-bugs/" title="Valentine Love Bugs" target="blank"><i class="fa fa-facebook"></i></a> <a class="share-google" href="https://plus.google.com/share?url=https://www.jackiereeve.com/2019/02/21/valentine-love-bugs/" onclick="window.open('https://plus.google.com/share?url=https://www.jackiereeve.com/2019/02/21/valentine-love-bugs/','gplusshare','width=450,height=300,left='+(screen.availWidth/2-375)+',top='+(screen.availHeight/2-150)+'');return false;"><i class="fa fa-google-plus"></i></a> <a onClick="MyWindow=window.open('http://pinterest.com/pin/create/button/?url=https://www.jackiereeve.com/2019/02/21/valentine-love-bugs/&media=https://www.jackiereeve.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/03/DSC07764_edited-1.jpg&description=Valentine Love Bugs','MyWindow','width=600,height=400'); return false;" style="cursor:pointer;" target="_blank" id="pinterest-share"><i class="fa fa-pinterest"></i></a> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div>   <a href="#" id="load-more" >Load More</a>  </div>  </div> <div id="footer" class="clearfix"> <div class="footer-inner"> <div class="clear"></div> <p class="copyright">I've worked hard on everything here, including the photos.
