MONDAY

mondaymondaymondaymondaymonday
Today was filled with errand running, phone calls with possible contractors, and lots of kid drawings. The highlight of the day was finding the vintage lighting that has been on my want list for, like, ever. We couldn't bring it home with us today, but we will next week. So excited about that! Then, I just need to bug my dad to come over and install it over our dining table and we will be all set. Another plus was that same shop also yielded another globe to add to my collection.

There were a few frustrations today (not kid related), but having Ben around all day long makes things a lot better. After I cried, he went downstairs to get me cookies. Yes, cookies can really make things feel a bit better.

Let's hope tomorrow I actually get some cleaning done. What was your Monday like?

  4. That is a gorgeous globe! I saw a pin once where someone took an ugly old globe and mod-podged it over wit pages from a children's book - it turned out beautifully! Want to try this at some point.

    Your children are beautiful.

  9. That is adorable that he went and brought you cookies. What a sweetie. Sometimes, after all has been said, you just need a cookie. He knew. :)

  11. Ruby, your girls always so adorable, they are going to be so crafty & talented little artists like their Mom.
    I've been collecting vintage globes and your new globe is the prettiest color i've seen. I want a dark navy one too. :)

    Thanks for sharing as always.

  13. Gosh, your girls are oh-so-cute. I want to give them a huge squeezy hug!

    My Monday was pretty quiet, I'm at home alone at the moment, so it was mostly housework and a bit of trashy television.
