Hi friends, happy Friday! As June races by, I wanted to pop in and share a few things I’ve been up to lately and some places I’ve appeared around the web.
A few of my Instagrams from this month — including a sneak peek of my secret garden. It’s still a work in progress, but when it’s finished I’ll give you an updated tour!
We received the sweetest surprise from our publishing team at Harvest House: a framed cover of Love the Home You Have alongside the New York Times Best Seller announcement. I hung it in my office where I see it every morning — such a thoughtful gift. If you haven’t picked up a copy yet, it makes a lovely summer read.
My son recently celebrated his birthday, and I found myself moved by a post called “Eighteen Summers” on (in)Courage that captured all the emotions of watching your children grow.
I also did a short radio interview about the book — you can listen to it if you have a moment.
Last week my husband and I escaped for a two-day getaway to Port Townsend. It was a refreshing little trip, and I took plenty of photos. I’ll be sharing an “Out to See” and a quick drive-by photo tour of the area soon for anyone planning a visit.
Next week I’ll post the first Love Your Home Challenge of the summer. It’s been so fun to see the challenges you’ve shared — please keep them coming. Share your projects on Home Love Stories or on Instagram using the hashtag #lovethehomeyouhave.
