I’m so glad so many of you are finding this post on how to pick the best ceiling paint so helpful!

Within this post I briefly mentioned our condo in Vermont, which we recently sold.

Not only did this jog my memory of the pretty paint colors we used here, but I suddenly felt a bit sentimental about this home.

This was the first remodel project we took on mostly by ourselves and it’s actually the origin of this whole blog!

January 8, 2021 Weekend Wrap ups

Weekend Wrap Up
 

 

 

Well, we made it to Friday!

This is always the hardest week of the year, right?

But this week, unfortunately was one for the history books in the worst way possible.

I’m so worried about our country in general, not to mention the whole state of the pandemic on top of this mess.

I have nothing new to add – but I did want to acknowledge current events, in some small way.

Keeping things light over here is a decision, and I know so many of you appreciate the distraction- so that’s what I’m going to stick to, as best I can.

 

Personally, we had our own eventful week, as my middle daughter was finally allowed to move into her Freshman dorm!

Hoping they all get to stay there – although they’re still on remote learning, it’s a small semblance of normalcy which we’ve all wanted for her.

Other than that, despite the new calendar year, things are pretty much the same around here.

 

 

Here’s a few fun links and such to take you into the weekend…
