Our whole residence has been sparsely embellished since we have been going to promote in 2020 and wiped every little thing clear. We’re engaged on the new life plan plan, however so long as we’re right here, I’ve determined I have to personalize our house not less than a bit.
I texted my design savvy pals with heeeeeeeeeelllllpppp and with their steering have determined so as to add two huge wood cabinets. I’m picturing framed photos of our travels, a spot to place Christmas decor, and possibly a plant or two tumbling over the ledge. I’m grateful for a useful husband as a result of David jumped proper on it. He took measurements, purchased wooden (and a desk noticed), and acquired to it. Can’t wait to see the after!

Saturday we slept in, labored out, then acquired prepared for a enjoyable night in Charlotte with pals tailgating and attending the Charlotte FC recreation. We parked round 2:30 and arrange store. We had music and video games for the youngsters (Kubb is a all the time a success), an lastly acquired to make use of the moveable grill I acquired David for Christmas.
Someway, although I’ve lived right here for 14 (!?) years, I’ve by no means been to the Financial institution of America stadium. This was such an thrilling first expertise. The power was excessive, the youngsters cherished it, and Charlotte FC received!
Sunday morning we have been sluggish shifting, so the cooler climate and rain was welcomed. The women and I completed up the final Harry Potter e-book cuddled underneath a blanket on the porch then proceeded to kick off our film watching marathon with The Sorcerer’s Stone.

I’m additionally trying into Prime Day to see if there are any offers value making the most of. I’m keeping track of these compression packing cubes, Trekking the Nationwide Parks, and a few random gadgets like wood spatulas, Flour Water Salt Yeast, Butcher Paper (for crafts).
I received’t lie, I’m a bit confused at the way it all works (offers come and go so rapidly) and I’m not a “purchase for the sake of it being on sale” sort of gal, but when I can snag some gadgets I want or some Christmas presents at a very good value, I’m all about it!
