The Inspiration Board: Spotlight 244 & Love Inspiration

Welcome to a new week on homework everyone. So happy to have you pop by. I hope you had a wonderful weekend! I’m out of town this week for my day job so I spent the weekend watching my son play volleyball, packing and trying to clean up a bit around the house.

A big thank you to everyone that visited last week and shared projects on The Inspiration Board. You’re going to love today’s features. But first, here’s a little recap of what I’ve been sharing.

Welcome back everyone. I hope you had a wonderful weekend. I spent all day Saturday at my son’s volleyball tournament. It’s fun but exhausting. You get up at the crack of dawn, drive far, cheer all day, and then drive home and collapse. That left Sunday for all things household. Boy, did this weekend fly by. I hope you had some time to relax and enjoy your weekend.

I want to thank all of you that shared your projects on The Inspiration Board last week. Another amazing turnout and I loved checking out all the creativty. In case you didn’t get a chance to stop by, here’s what I’ve sharing.

Happy Monday everyone and welcome back to a new week here on homework. Today in the United States it’s a holiday as we honor Martin Luther King and enjoy a 3-day weekend. I’ve been busy getting caught up from a week of business travel and prepping to head out again in a few weeks so last week I shared some organization projects from my archives. I’m hoping to have some time to create some new things soon.

The Inspiration Board: Spotlight 240 & Must Have Organization

Welcome back everyone. So happy to see you here on a Monday. I just got back into town from a week of business travel and spent the weekend putting my house back together. Leaving my husband and son alone for these business trips is risky business. Here are a few of the things I came home to… powdered sugar in the sugar jar we use for coffee (apparently my husband couldn’t find the regular sugar), a load of wash in the washer that could possibly have been there for days, a message about a missed dentist appointment and that’s just the tip of the iceberg. Needless to say, I was greeted with “Thank God you’re home!” – ahhh, it’s good to be appreciated and missed.

So now let’s move on to the features and a little recap of what I’ve been sharing.

Welcome back everyone. I hope you had a fantastic weekend and if you celebrate Christmas, I truly hope it was filled with joy.

Well, here we are friends. Ready or not, it’s Christmas week. I had a marathon wrapping weekend and I worked on our Christmas cards. This is the first year in probably 20 years that I didn’t make our Christmas cards. I ordered them and apparently I didn’t allow enough time so I just received the box and was furiously addressing and stamping. I knew it would be a mad dash to the finish line but this year I really pushed it. I hope you had a nice weekend and could enjoy the season. In case you’ve missed anything here on the blog, here’s a little snapshot of what I’ve been sharing.

It’s Thanksgiving week! Hip Hip Hooray! Here in the U.S. we’re prepping for the biggest feast of the year. I know many of you are starting to prep your turkeys. Every family has a different way of preparing the bird. Some people use a brine or buttermilk for a few days before roasting, others place butter under the skin or even deep fry their turkey. There are so many yummy ways to prep that bird. Plus, all those side dishes – phew… it’s a lot of work but so worth it.

So if you’ve been busy preparing for the feast and haven’t had a chance to visit lately, here’s a little recap of what I’ve been sharing lately.

Hello friends! I hope you had a great weekend. I finally had some time to get some things done around the house after two back-to-back business trips. It was so nice to just be at home. I didn't even mind cleaning and tidying up. Imagine that! The weather has finally cooled down enough for me to start baking too. I live by the coast so we don't have air conditioning and this last scorching heatwave put the brakes on anything oven related. But now that it's cooler I can try out some of the amazing pumpkin recipes and fall dishes that you all have been linking up.

In case you've missed anything - here's a glimpse at what I've been sharing.
