This article by Abigail Rasminsky for A Cup Of Jo this week really resonated with me. Earlier this year I decided to re-dedicate myself to blogging because I felt that I was really missing that deep dive into topics and I thought that blogging could give it to me. My return to blogging hasn’t been as deep of a dive as I had maybe hoped, but after reading that article I realized that what I’m feeling is totally normal and perhaps, like everything these days, it’s pandemic related. It feels like I’m treading water while keeping everyone around me afloat and that gets to be exhausting. I don’t have any answers, but I wanted to share the article as I found it so relatable and sometimes it just helps to read someone else articulate exactly what you’re feeling.
These guys! This was supposed to be a photo of Rowan and Chris accidentally twinning but it turned into an adorable family snapshot and I love it!
Beautiful and short-lived peony season.
I’m working on a new sweater and I’m totally in love! I’m knitting a pullover version of my new Gartrell cardigan pattern and am using all of the colours in my stash! Lots of stripes, but no ends as I’m weaving in as I go. ;)
Pool fence finally going in and I”m super pumped to have a safe yard soon! It’s going to be beautiful. Right now it doesn’t look like much but check out our inspo!
Did you know that I’m obsessed with hanging clothes to dry? It’s a funny thing to be obsessed with I know, but I just love it! I do it all year long. My preference would be for a clothes line but we don’t really have a suitable spot for one in our back yard and these racks do the trick. Also, I’ve been using this TruEarth detergent and am a convert. Works like a charm and zero waste!
