The first week of the new year is behind us, and if the rest of the year continues at this pace, it will be an excellent year!

Planning and organizing the year has been busy, but I am so invigorated!

Welcome to the first Sunday Morning Coffee of 2025, where we share, learn, explain, dream, and have fun.

In recent months, open kitchen shelving has faced an unfair share of criticism in design circles.

Today, I am going to prove them all wrong.

The argument goes that open shelves are impractical, prone to dust, and overly styled for aesthetics rather than function.

But as someone who has embraced open shelving in both our Waco home and our beach house in Ventura, I’m here to say that I love open shelving, and I think the benefits far outweigh the supposed drawbacks.

January is the month we all like to organize.

So, let’s talk about the things you forget to organize and toss, like these twelve kitchen items you need to throw away.

But never do.

Why?

Because, like me, you are too busy reading about how to organize your pantry or linen closet.

This month, I am going to focus on the things you need to organize but, for some reason, forget to do every year.

This is going to be fun.

Happy New Year again!

I am determined this year is going to be all about embracing change.

Today, on my blog, I shared all of the new changes at My 100 Year Old Home.

I want to do many things differently, and embracing change is the only way for that to happen.

I have plans for this year so we can all be happier in everything we do.

Some will be significant changes, but most will be subtle ones.

Join me on the blog for all of the news!

The New Year is more than a turning of the calendar—it’s a chance to reflect on what’s most important and realign our lives with what really matters.

Too often, we get caught up in resolutions focusing on external achievements: losing weight, earning more money, or climbing career ladders.

While those can be meaningful goals, they often miss !the heart of what makes life rich and fulfilling.

This year, let’s focus on the things that bring true joy and purpose: family, happiness, self-care, and the impact we can have on others.

When prioritizing what matters, we create a life filled with connection, contentment, and love.
