Although I got quite a bit done around the house last weekend, looking back it doesn’t feel like it. Anyone else ever feel that way? One thing I did manage to get done was painting the bathroom a more neutral grey. This is the upstairs guest bathroom/Ben’s bathroom and it was a BRIGHT salmon color. All that’s left is for J and I to agree on a shower curtain and then I’ll post the bathroom reveal.

July. The Month Of…
Creating! Creating those Pinterest projects if it kills me. A hint…I’ve already completed 3 things from my boards this month and 2/3 have been a success! Creating time to spend with my girlfriends. It’s been far too long. Creating memories with my family. This means checking more things off our Summer Bucket List. Creating a special 31st birthday for J. Ben requested there be lots of cake.

MOVING. And all things unpacking. And craziness. Here are my June goals so let’s see how I did. 1. Save money and stick to the budget. Not too bad. I actually made a budget and then…moving happened. And with moving comes unexpected costs and the little things add up. I give myself an E for effort. 2. Organize our new house. Everything gets a home and a designated place. Ha. I have no idea what I…
