Checking in.

I’m going to check in with you on Thursday for sharing some contentment in {pretty, happy, funny, real} — why not join us? It’s summer and it’s hard to get to blogging, which honestly, is fine. You don’t mind, do you? And maybe joining us will give you an excuse to update things chez vous!

I’m trying to think about which of the many burning topics I want to get to here.

Many sweet readers have been emailing me about homeschooling, and I will definitely answer some of those questions, but don’t forget that we have many posts (labeled “education” for the most part) that you should read to know what I actually think about “how to do it.” It’s not something I can really cover in an emailed response! It’s more of a “fine, I’ll start a blog!” type of issue… which I did….

…but meanwhile, some painting needs to get done. Are you not super curious as to what we did in here? (By we I mean Bridget, of course.) Just in a wondering-when-you’d-get-to-that-sort of way?

Just keep this “before” (which is more of a “during” — I’m not usually this messy I think!) in mind:

 

I feel the need for a new chandelier, but the one I want might be too pricey. Maybe I’ll spray paint this one.

Saturday we went to a lovely wedding, and managed to do what somehow never gets done — photos of the two of us while we are all dressed up, before the wilting of the hot August day sets in!

 

Do you not love that there is still that rope around that tree for no earthly reason?!?
