Attended the ribbon cutting of our charter school’s high school this morning. Crazy to think our 2 kids will be starting high school in 5 years. ▫️For me, time crept by slowly in the preschool/toddler years. But it picks up speed as we grow closer to middle school.

My husband and I both work at home, and our kids have been home a lot this summer which = books, toys, and craft supplies everywhere. 🤪 I’m not a scheduled cleaner-personality type. So what works for me is clearing off an area of the house (today it’s our eat-in kitchen). This boosts my confidence that we will restore order to the rest of the house soon! The kitchen island is next on my to-do list.▫️Have any summer cleaning tricks? Would love more ideas!

I recently categorized my home design ideas by price (under $25 , under $50, under $100, and under $500) to make it easier to search for DIY projects. ▫️Check this modern gourd project out in the under $25 category!

Beautiful, right? I am actually not at the beach right now. I took this a few months ago at a writer’s retreat.▫️In reality I have a sinus infection, sitting in bed getting hugs from my 10 year old. I’ve found FOMO to be a struggle this summer with all the beautiful family vacation pictures online.▫️A few things that help me: 1. Step away from social media for a few hours. 2. Focus on being satisfied with our lives, so much to be thankful for. 3. Plan fun, low-budget activities locally on the weekends. 4. Be happy for friends-quality time together is such a gift! 5. Think about how to encourage others before I post travel photos.▫️Can you relate? Would love a few more ideas! .

I arrived home from a meeting Tuesday to a set of 4 chairs in the hallway! My husband loves to collect nicely designed chairs...these are teak by Benny Linden (Danish Modern style). We might be interested in selling in a few weeks if anyone in the NC area is interested. .
