Back in the saddle!

Hello, friends! No – your eyes are not deceiving you. 🙂 I am back, and I am so, so happy to be here!

My goodness, have I ever been a busy bee during the course of the last few weeks of my little blogging vacation. A brief recap…

Painting our entry and patio doors, and stupidly opting to do so during what is the absolute hottest summer I ever remember being forced to endure…

Completing (with the exception of some final details) a mini-renovation of the kids’ bathroom…

Purging my house of no telling how much JUNK I had accumulated over the course of the last year or so. My crafting and sewing supplies are now in order. I can see the floor in my closet again! 🙂 What a lovely feeling to know exactly what I have on hand and where it is located. Once the kids’ rooms and the laundry room are taken care of (a goal I have for this week), this house will be in tip-top shape…

And, this weekend, planning and executing a frosty treat birthday bash for my middlest monkey who just turned three! Sneak peaks of the big day are below, but I do hope you’ll stop in tomorrow for the full “scoop.” Please don’t hate me for my inability to resist throwing that pun in somewhere. 😉


Needless to say, I think I am going to take the day off from embarking on any new projects. 🙂

I cannot thank you enough for understanding my little hiatus during the last couple of weeks. I am revived and ready to get back into the swing of things again! 
Have a marvelous rest of your weekend, and stay cool (and hydrated)!
