Happy Friday, friends!
It’s been a minute since my last post, so I thought I’d do a quick little life update!
Last week I took Friday off and it was everythingggg. I haven’t had much PTO this summer with starting a new job at the end of May, so it was a welcome break. Chris also had the day off, and we played pickle ball in the afternoon which was fun. It’s amazing the difference one extra day in the weekend makes—it feels SO much longer than two days.
We also went tubing down a river for a friend’s birthday last weekend—perfect timing for a little ALMOST-end-of-summer celebration. Sundays are usually my “prep for the week” day, so I was a little hesitant to spend the day sipping wine spritzes and White Claws, but it turned out to be really fun, and TBH a better way to spend the day than wallowing in the Sunday scaries.
At work, four new designs launched this week. I worked on the marketing campaign for the the launch, and it was rewarding to see all the assets go live after so much time and effort.
On the home front I’ve made a few new décor purchases (will share soon!) and the house is feeling somewhat complete—for the moment—which feels good. Next up I want to get some kind of rug (thinking this runner) for our laundry room. It’s an unfinished space (and we probably won’t finish it while we’re here), but I think a cozy rug will go a long way in making that room a little more pleasant to be in. Definitely an upgrade from bare concrete! Chris also spent time this week getting HVAC quotes for our upstairs. We’re trying to get started on the electrical and insulation for that space, and hopefully finish it this winter! Progress!
It’s hard to believe it’s football season and back to school time—and lots of retailers are talking fall. It’s still pretty hot in Minnesota but it looks like we’re dropping down to the seventies next week which sounds ideal. My approach to transitional weather is simple: just add a jacket. Summer pieces—like this t-shirt dress—can easily take you into fall if you just layer up. No need to buy all new things!
