Catching you up with all things Currently.
Well my friends, March was certainly a busy one around here. Between ski weekends for the boys, me prepping and painting our guest room while they were gone and some pretty crazy work schedules for Brady and I both (report cards and parent-teacher conferences made for at least 20 hours of extra work on top of my full-time teaching load through the last couple of weeks), I think it’s safe to say, we were all feeling ready for Spring break this week. Aside from a day of shopping in the city and the boys sneaking in a few extra days of skiing before Carson’s ski competition this weekend, we took it pretty easy around here this week. Brady had to work the first half of the week, so Carson and I mostly just rolled through our days doing all of the things we just haven’t had as much time for lately – slow mornings, workouts, lots of time with friends. It’s honestly been exactly what we both needed to rest, rejuvenate and recharge. Of course, we did also manage to finally get our guest room all set up in there too! I’m SO in love with how it’s all coming together!!!
The boys are off to Jasper again tomorrow to enjoy all of this fresh snow we’ve been getting (at least someone’s enjoying it at least!) and while they’re gone, I’m planning to start tackling all of the new baseboards and doors through our second floor hallway – they need to be caulked, filled and painted – after years of humming and hawing about paint colours for our stair railing, trim and doors, I’m dying to see everything all painted out in our colour choice (stay tuned to my Insta-stories to see what we went with!).
Read on for a quick little update of where we are currently…
CURRENTLY
Reading:ย I just finished this memoir and found it SO interesting, I honestly couldn’t put it down. Moving on to this one next.
Needing: Some lighter pj’s as the weather starts to warm up. I’ve got my eye on this super cute and breezy looking linen set.
Loving: I think my love for matcha may have surpassed my love for coffee (and that’s saying A LOT). This Matcha Misto with collagen is my current fave.
To Do: We’ve been slowly chipping away at our to-do list. I’m hoping to get started on painting all the doors and trim through our second floor hallway this weekend. Then, I’ll likely move on to painting out our stair railing (which I’m super nervous about!).
Wearing: This has become my favourite go-to sweater as we head into Spring.
On my wish list: I’d love a new set of matching chairs for our Study! We’re currently using some old grey chairs as place-holders in there until I can find the perfect set to replace them. So far, this classic arm chair is at the top of my list.
Planning: What’s up next after we finish the desk in Carson’s room.
Working for me right now:ย I absolutely LOVE that the days are getting longer!
Whatโs not:ย I’ve been taking piano lessons this year. Finding time to practice has been harder than I’d expected.
Anticipating:ย The snow melting away (finally!) and warmer days rolling in.
Iโd LOVE to hear where are you currently! Let me know what’s new and exciting in the comments below.
Wishing you SUCH a lovely day my friends!
