1. The house is pretty clean!! The guest room is still a storage room off and on, and Valiant's room always is in some sort of mode (she only sleeps there, and I think that is why I've never done "more" with this room. I've always wondered why, when I adore other adorable rooms my friends have! Lovely's room is much better lol!) but I'm happy with the house after a rough week last week. I had to play catch up. I need to do our schoolroom though.
2. This might be more attached to #1, but I got a toy/book organizer. It has helped us create a play area that was VERY needed, and order for that area that was VERY needed. Here is the before and after:
This has helped the kids be neater too and pick up their messes on their own with less hassle from me.
3. I also took the kids yesterday and we got back into nature. The weather here was hot, even into the fall. TOO hot. Then, as soon as it "became" fall - temps got too cold to play or get out in. We were getting ripped off! But, this week we've had amazing weather. Cool, breezy, sunny....a dream! So, I made sure we got out in it! Glorious!!
It's soul food, baby...soul food. Getting out in nature is simply....amazing.

I LOVE your toy organizer. Oh, I'm jealous!
ReplyDeleteLooks like it was a gorgeous day to get out. We've been having mandatory outside time at least every other day while the weather is nice. I know all too soon they won't want to go out at all.
The organizer looks to have been a great and VERY worthwhile investment! And I loved seeing your plan for yesterday and that it went so well. My husband is dying to go back to "that park you were at " for a visit (I've never been, he went on a senior trip that also involved a trip to an amusement park in the area). Who knows, maybe our family will run into yours on a picnic!
ReplyDeleteGreat list and beautiful pictures!
