Wow, has it been a week already? Life has been busy and I will admit we took the weekend off from projects and played in the lake instead. Our family needed the break. We are usually running at a break neck pace and sometimes just have to stop. So stop we did! I will write a proper post about it and all we did, but for now we are here at Thursday and I can’t use excuses.
I did manage to get a few things done, not all on the list but they should have been!
- Re-organize toys in girls room and donate what is not used – DONE (although this is an ongoing project, we made a huge dent none-the-less).
- Sew a dress for me – DONE (another stand alone post…I love this dress)
- Weed and dead-head garden – DONE (again, ongoing though)
- Harvest potatoes – DONE
Along with the regular household chores and things, I think I did alright. This weekend we have the holiday parade that Lola is in, and then it’s 4th of July on Sunday. I am hoping to get some more project based things done in regards to the living room…stay tuned.
Hope you all had a great week! Peace!

Oh, I can't wait to see the dress! I have the romantic vision of myself with a closet full of dresses to choose from & wearing them every day. Sigh– so far this vision has no relationship to reality, I'm afraid! Thanks for participating again! I have a suspicion this is going to be a hard sell for the month of July! I think everyone is on vacation! (if lack of comments is any indication) It's been nothing but crickets & most of the week!
We know all to well that ongoing to-do list, and sometimes we need to put on the brakes and think…is this fun for the kids? They like to "help" to an extent, but sometimes I declare a beach day. It's thrilling when there's so much to do at home, to take off and just SIT and enjoy the sun and water! Our toy purging has been ongoing since day one…I'm slowly weeding out all the broken/cheapy/ugly toys…mostly stuff the kids cling on to at Valu Village or yard sales…getting there!
I call my to-do list the bottomless pit but I made peace with that ;o)
I look forward to pictures of your dress
Summers are always so busy…nice to take a break! Enjoy your weekend!
