I have been on PTO this week trying to unwind and enjoying my slow and quiet mornings. Our temps have come down a bit in the morning so it’s been refreshing walking Wrigley. Feels like Autumn is on its way but I hope not too soon.

I completed my glazing on some work a did a while back and the everything is now out of the kiln. It is time to start making again. Pumpkins and things are on my list. My bookclub read for our upcoming meeting is done. I really enjoyed The Husbands by Holly Gramazio. What would you do if you could swap your life whenever you wanted? At times the book had me laughing out loud and my heart ached for her at other times. Very interesting concept for sure.

I still feel like I have a bit of an Olympic hangover. The Summer Olympics are my favorite. Go Team USA!!!! I have rewatched seasons 1 and 2 of Sweet Magnolias on Netflix. I really like that show. “Pour it Out” ladies. Next season will not air until 2025. The waiting is the hardest part.

We are just two weeks away from sending our baby off to high school-Freshman year is upon us. I am not sure where the time has gone but it’s been a whirlwind. Please keep her in your prayers.

I found some inspirational photos for removing our home. I love @the.hoss.homestead on IG. My house is a tri level but there are lots of similarities. I absolutely adore what they did to their kitchen and main bathroom.

Our hall bathroom is large but not large enough for a soaker tub and separate shower. I believe this bathroom redo gives me everything that I want. The only thing I would do differently is the vanity. I love the idea of a midcentury type vanity with double sinks. Our bathroom is large enough for both. These pics are going up on my vision board.

Well, that’s I have at the moment. We have an early morning appointment to get my daughter’s hair braided. Let the official teen years begin.

Be well and until next time,
