Just Hanging Out

Sometimes design is planned to a “T” from the beginning.  Sometimes a design grows slowly from compiling things you love or need or want.  And sometimes it happens in the most random of ways.  You see, I have been completing my daughter Winter’s room for a little while now.  I know, I know, I know… I’ve been saying this FOREVER but I PROOOOMISE it’s coming to the blog oh so soon.  It is complete, finally, and is simply awaiting my photography.  Every single time I felt like her room was complete I’d change my mind on something, find something amazing to add or life would happen.  And once again, life happened and I had to ship my camera to Canon late last week for repairs, major repairs.  As a blogger that is like a surgeon losing their scalple, a teacher without a classroom…  You get the idea.  I feel a little lost.  I am praying it comes back within the week so I can share Winter’s Room Reveal!

So back to the story… My office was mostly planned and completed.  Winter’s room was mostly planned and completed.  And then I found this swing.  Hanging swing.  And it was the absolutely perfect finishing touch for Winter’s big girl room.  I had it all pictured.  Winter waking up, sitting in her swing with her baby dolls and the sunlight streaming in as I walk in to get her up each morning.  So I ordered it.  A beautiful white rattan hanging swing.  The things interior designer dreams are made of.

And then I woke up.  Wait, what was I thinking?!?  Winter would be swinging through her bedroom window.  She would be swinging as high as it would go, across her room and landing face first on the ground.  She is the child who tries to climb over our upstairs hallway railings.  She is the child who colors on our walls.  She is the child who walks out the front door and into the front yard by herself in two seconds before we even realize she is gone.  So onto plan B…

Although I loved my desk facing the front yard in front of my office windows, the hanging swing woooouuuuld make the cutest little reading nook for the girls.  AND I could monitor the swing usage.  AND it would be a pretty amazing conversation piece on the main level.  Plus, the same week we are hanging the swing, I received this absolutely breathtaking blanket from my friends at Happy Habitat.  And it was the icing on the cake for our new reading nook!  So, here it is!

As I always say, the only journeys and experiences As I always say, the only journeys and experiences I can… and do… share are that of my own. And today it’s last week’s journey of my explant, lift and recovery. As someone who was “born” with big boobs, had implants to fill what I’d lost to weight loss and nursing to now having explanted to a much smaller size, I’ve been happy with every step along the way. It’s all been what I had or felt I needed or wanted at each stage of life and I’m not one to ever look back and have regrets. It’s just that at this stage of life, I decided the next step for me was to shed some chest. And kind of a lot of it. From a size 32G to a yet to be fully determined 32B-C! To be super honest, the pondering and deciding was by the far the longest and hardest part. With no direct reason for doing so (thankfully)… rather a combination of them from possible health issues 🤞🏻 associated with my implants to the usual back/shoulder pain to just a growing desire to get them out, I’ve felt a bit indecisive and very nervous. But last week I finally did it and I’m so happy I did! Women have so many worries and pressures and insecurities so if this has been on your pondering list as well, I’m just here to tell you that it wasn’t that bad. Any body change takes some getting used to but not gonna lie, shedding that top heavy feeling has been rather fabulous. And the cute little tops and bras I can now wear feel like icing on the cake! So from your always raw and honest IG bestie, thank y’all so much for following along and for all of the love and well wishes on stories. Means the WORLD 🫶🏻
Forget drenching your hands with straight acetone… and the hour and a half SNS process… try this and you’ll never go back! Yep, it’s the “old school” tips method but with your own nails. Takes so much less time and although still not exactly CLEAN, it’s way better than an acetone hand bath every two weeks. Plus, they’re actually much smoother too!
