Happy Friday 10/4/19

Happy Friday! This was one of those weeks that seemed to fly by. For you too? We’re in the thick of school and activities and community involvement and renovations and spare minutes are hard to come by. But I wouldn’t want it any other way.

We got our laundry room door installed this week and I’m in love! We went back and forth with whether or not we needed one, but ultimately decided we did. Because who wants to eat their morning oatmeal and listen to the spin cycle at the same time, right?!
