In the past, I’ve been horrible at signing off for the weekend but I think it’s a nice way to say “until next time, friends!” I’m making an effort to do just that with a little Friday roundup of things that made me smile.
*Per the recommendation of my friend Belinda, I gifted myself The Family at Home: Love. Life. Style. Some of my favorite moments this week have been spent sitting in front of the fireplace reading this book. It’s a great one for design-minded families.
*Lauren’s vow to be more like Deb.
*Kylie’s home office in a hallway complete with $2 chair and $7 lamp!
*A happy red stapler for my desk.
*This modern organic home tour is “dream home” status to me. Those built-ins!
*Steve gave me this book for Christmas. It’s a collection of short stories from James Thurber including “The Secret Life of Walter Mitty”. (Gotta read the story before I see the movie!) So happy to read an author from Ohio who had a quirky imagination in his adult life.
*My kids’ winter break was extended by two more days due to inclement weather. I got desperate and resorted to dressing up in costumes to preserve my sanity. The jury is still out on whether or not I succeeded but at least the kids had a good laugh.
I hope you take the time to do something that makes you smile this weekend.
