Completely happy Monday that truly looks like a Monday (in a very good power sort of approach) as a result of we’re beginning off our homeschool 12 months immediately! Normally I’m a fan with a begin it off with a BANG sort of vibe, however this 12 months I’m feeling the “ease in” model of issues. We’re starting with SPACE and I’ve picked up books from the library, cleaned the playroom “faculty” room, and am trying ahead to leaping in and seeing what Collect ‘Spherical is all about.

This weekend was a pleasant stability. I acquired a wild hair on Friday once I realized I couldn’t stare on the large clean wall in our front room any longer. 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!

Friday evening we ate leftovers from the fridge, watched Crimes of Grindelwald, the youngsters are into any wizarding proper now, and acquired a very good evening’s sleep.
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.
David went into Charlotte to examine on the demo of a home we’re on the point of promote and to choose up the wooden for the lounge cabinets. I took Finley for an extended stroll and acquired caught within the rain, and made braised brief ribs after buying our deep freezer.

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!
