This is a topic that I could talk about for hours. There are so many distractions when you are working, especially if you work from home. The laundry is piling up, the dishes need to be done, the dog needs to be let outside, and of course the television is constantly calling your name.
How do you combat these constant disturbances?
One of my favorite things to buy for our house is pillows. It may be a little strange, but I don’t care. I love decorating with them. Toss a few on the couch, the bed, or an empty chair- switch them out…blah, blah, blah. I could go on and on. But I’ll just cut to the chase…
I’ve been lurking around a shop lately that has quite the pillow selection. It’s called Olive, and I think you’ll love it as much as I do.
