One Room ChallengeMay 25, 2017127Views 0Likes 6Comments

I am back after an unplanned blog break. The intense six weeks of the One Room Challenge™ ended directly before my son's college graduation, a very sleep-deprived 48-hour running adventure in Canada, followed by watching my daughter compete at States for gymnastics. Since then, this has pretty much been me. via If I needed confirmation that I am…

Wowie! Thank you for all of the lovely comments about the big library reveal. I woke up Friday feeling aimless. Without a goal, I pretty much just walked up and down the stairs forgetting why I did. If it is not apparent from past posts, rest does not really suit my personality. I could be persuaded…

Last year, when I completed the kitchen pantry and the dining room as our One Room Challenge™ projects, I fared pretty well without a lot of panic. This year, not so much. The exhaustion is setting in, and the to-do list still looks way too long to complete in only two weeks. So where are we…

It's week 3, and if I stop for even one second to consider this project-in-full, I will implode. There, I got that out, and now I feel better. Truly, my life does not suck. We have a little money to spend on this project, everything is coming along well, and so far, we have not…
