There’s a special kind of magic in transitioning seasons. Happy, happy spring everyone! 🌼

Mason took this photo and told me: “you look like you’re just doin’ yo thang.” It was an unexpected compliment and reminded me how wonderful it feels to do the things you love. Even if it’s as simple as learning something you’ve always wanted to learn or wearing an outfit purely because it makes you smile... just doing YOU. It’s one of those platitudes that is as important as it is cliché. So this is my reminder, to just do your thing - whatever that may look like. ✨ ⠀ In this particular instance it looks like me slathering on DIY sunscreen and praying it works as good as it smells. So far so good.🤞

Lazy sun-daze reading. ⠀ ⠀ Not pictured here: me falling asleep in this exact spot shortly after this picture was taken. Warm, sunny snoozes are the best. ☀️

I told Mason all I wanted for our anniversary was time with him, lots of coffee and books, frolicking outside, and tinkering on projects for the Dream Stream. It may not be super glamorous, but it’s exactly what we’ve needed. 💕

The trees have started budding and leafing out... Spring, we’re ready for you! 🌱🌞

Confession: When we painted this section it was scorching Texas summer and things got sloppy. My hot mess became a literal hot mess. And so we put our tv here and just ignored this little spot. 🙈 ⠀ ⠀ I never would have thought we’d want to remodel another trailer, but we’ve both been thinking about it lately as we’ve learned so much about what NOT to do. ⠀ ⠀ It’s soooo tempting to completely start from scratch. Yet we love this home - even with all her imperfections. So for now, I’ll be hiding from these freezing temps and tucking away these thoughts ‘til spring.
