Style Scouting: Vol. 285
Thanks for stopping by for this week’s Style Scouting. My Sunday post where I share the random stuff that captured my attention or inspired me that I found online.
This past week had me taking on one of my favorite projects ever… taking care of my grandkids. This time it was spending the week in Virginia to watch my 5-month old grandson while his parents worked.
His other grandmom lives close by and watches him for 3 weeks every month. To give her a break, Ed and I have been doing one week a month until they get into a daycare. We are enjoying the one-on-one time with him while we can. I was a stay-at-home mom and give so much credit to working moms – they rock having to take on so much every single day!
When I got home, the contractors are still working in the foyer with the scaffolding still in place. There is dust from the work, plus the tree pollen all over everything that I immediately started to declutter and got into spring cleaning mode. I can’t believe how much I have gotten done in the two days I have been home. I will be sharing what I have done so far with you this week.
Now onto the links I found for you this week.
