Weekly Wishes #17

Filed Under: Uncategorized Tagged With: Weekly Wishes

We were actually able to get a lot done this week. Not by choice, but because someone wanted to come look at our house. It hasn’t officially been on the market, we have just been doing Zillow and word of mouth. They seemed to really like it, so we will see what happens next.

107

Last Week’s Wishes

  1. Mail out Carsyn’s Birthday Invitations. Done
  2. Spend some time Spring cleaning and organizing. Did a lot of this before the house showing!
  3. Have a natural miscarriage at home. I don’t want to have a D&C. Yes this happened. I am extremely sad but so very thankful everything went smooth.

 This Week’s Wishes

  1. Spend more time focusing on God & my family.
  2. Start preparing for Carsyn’s 4th Birthday Party.
  3. Keep the house clean and not let it become a disaster.

What are your goals for this week?

Still on my to-do list: a gallery wall and living wall, but I'm a bit nervous since I'm not exactly good at that. One day, though... I also dream of getting a projector to display scenes on the big white wall.

I'm going to miss my Halloween decorations when they come down - time to start scouring thrift stores for Christmas decor, I suppose! 🎄
Thanks for coming along on this journey with me. I Thanks for coming along on this journey with me. I am so grateful to have my own library/plant space. 

It will be a few more months/weeks before it’s complete but I’m proud of how far it’s come. 

What I have left to do still: Get the top for my desk and seal it. Organize my craft stuff and put it on the shelves under my desk. Figure out my gallery wall above my desk. Order my @wallygrowplanters for my living wall. And of course buy more books and plants. 😆

It may not be perfect or Instagram “worthy” but it’s mine and I’m proud of all the time and effort we have put into it. The rug arrived today. I am so pleased with how it is coming together. Thanks so much to my cousin @r_holz9 for all her decorating advice and @em.e.hicks for putting up with my million text messages. IKEA bookcases will be here tomorrow. Then need to paint them and start moving my books out there. After I finish with that, I will work on my living plant wall. Not sure when my low bookcases and desk will be built, but it will happen eventually. Almost there. 🙌🏼
