Around the House Link Party

Welcome to my first link up I am calling:

I'd love for you to join me by linking up what's going on at your house this week.

Here's a bit of what's happening around our house.

I'm not sure why,

but Lillie's nap time always seems to turn into a few moments of the day I look forward to.

She still has that baby smell

and lying next to her for a few minutes ...

turns into...

a happy thing.


Levi can't seem to let the child go to sleep without a few moments, too.

This is his sleeping pose.

A slight distraction sometimes develops.

Moving on:

Violet and I have decided to begin her room renovations.

The mess and furniture in there need to be managed and sifted through.

I swapped this dresser from Levi's room

and gave Levi her taller bureau.

I base-coated this while the fish sticks were cooking for supper: 

that's how easy and fast chalk paint is.

This is not the final color: just the base coat.
Can you guess what the top coat will be?


While chatting with another home-school mother at church,
she mentioned the curriculum she used to teach her kids to read:
Happy Phonics.

I thought it was funny as I had just looked through the very thing.

My Mom bought me the packet a few years back,
and I finally thought I might look into it for Levi.

It would be nice not to have to buy him a reading curriculum if I can use this one.

The extension on this flower bed is finished:
I planted the flowers that had been waiting since a month ago;
A bit of mulch finished it up.

Our vegetable garden in the background is making great progress.
My Farmer does such a great job with it.


We've been picking several quarts of berries every other night or so, too;
I freeze them on plates and then bag them up so they won't be stuck together.

It's a fun and tasty job to do.

I would love to see what you have been up to!


Feel free to link up anything you've been working on
or enjoying this week.

Share a project, a recipe, an accomplishment,
whatever is happening around your house!
