Small Victories

Good morning! It’s spring break in our neck of the woods which means I have my girl and our borrowed (and incredibly mischievous ) pup with me all day this week, and my productivity reached record lows. I had a home tour in mind for today’s blog post but instead I’ll be content to show you my victory moment so far this week – the house was clean, quiet and still for a minute (it rarely is) and I had fresh flowers from the supermarket to document it…

Image of my favorite room and seat in the house… I’m constantly tweaking and moving things around, but we’ve come a long way…

Same corner in September 2020

Thanks for stopping by! I’ll do my best to get my act together by Friday! Take care!

    What an incredible change. It looks like it has always been part of the room, not added in. You picked a great color.

    It’s the little things. This cozy corner is so inviting and beautifully layered with your books, coral, and other items. Great job. Enjoy your daughter’s spring break, as a grandma I can say those special weeks fly by. 😊

      Thank you so much, Melissa! That’s the goal – not to dampen its cheerful spirit but to uncover it and let it work with how we live as a young family. xo, Eva
