I'm so behind on this blog of mine but I'm also perfectly okay with that. I worked really hard to get all of our Christmas festivities on here so I didn't forget, plus there are always tons of pictures between Christmas Eve and Christmas Day to manage so I like to organize them here quickly.
But then that glorious week between Christmas and New Years happened. We filled it with relaxing and bit of fun too! (here and here)
Before we knew it, it was back to school and I really wanted to put my heart back into teaching. I had some new ideas brewing and did a bit of research, reading, and prep work to get a new fluency program up and running in my classroom. And there were a bunch of other things to do for school too. So a week of not being on this space slid into two and here we are!
A lot of life has been happening and I have much goodness to catch up on, but for now I find it helpful to post some very recent when I'm this behind on memory keeping. And then, as I dip my toe back into this space, I can begin to go back and pull those older events/photos too.
With all of that said, one thing I have been loving is my empty home. Empty of vibrant color. Empty of so much twinkle. I love it of course! If you've been on my blog for a moment, then you know that decorating for Christmas is just about the greatest joy in the world for me. But how nice our home is right now. I love January for that. It's like our home can take a breath and let it out. And I can see it for it's 'bare bones'. I dreamed up new home projects, new paint colors, new ideas for the walls... when Christmas was gone, my creativity did not go away. It's like a whole new start.
First up, was painting our built in china cabinet. I knew I didn't like the blue anymore in there. It wasn't a big job and Scott happily painted it for me last night. That meant that on this sunny, and crisp day I moved back in... all of our blue dishes. I have one whole set and then I've added here and there so much that I adore. I think there is always room for more blue and white, and when I find more I just have to bring it home.
I snapped these on my phone today so they're not my 'usual' pictures but they'll still give you an idea.
Well, I'll have to say that getting back on this space feels really really good. I'm glad to have taken a week or so off and happier even to be back.
More projects to share coming soon!
