I’ve really been trying to save money for some outdoor projects this summer, but I think we can all agree that this $20 chaise lounge was an essential purchase.

I don’t know. Do I have too many plants?

Also, I picked up a cute curb bike across the street.

I also just remembered that I put this horrifying antique snowman ornament inside the half wall when I boarded it up. I cannot wait for someone to find this when I’m dead in 50 years.

I was feeling kind of bad about how long it’s taken to fix up the back entryway, but then I found these pictures of what it was like shortly after we moved in 😬

Can I finally finish this lead intensive project I abandoned two years ago when I got pregnant? Your guess is as good as mine!

Today’s good news - if you look closely you’ll see a tiny new hoya leaf sprouting. This is a cutting from my great grandmother’s houseplant, courtesy of my Great Uncle Earl. My great grandmother passed away in 1992. Seems pretty incredible to me.
