1️⃣ this sunshine in the morning;
2️⃣ good news of a friend;
2️⃣ my heart missing God, it’s a good sign.

Trading LEGO for park/outdoor time in the evening. A must. 😉

OAN, We took down the door of this room a few months ago and never regretted it one tiny bit. Not all doors are meant to be closed anyway. Some people might think we are crazy but works for us. The space looks wider and the little one can move freely about. 😉

My home and office.
My office and home.
Of course it doesn’t look like this on normal working days and I do miss the distinction between home and work. ☺️

The little things, aka the #goodlist—-
.
These wildflowers that Z and I collected.
The freshly French-pressed coffee.
The buzzing of tools in the back garden.
The great decluttering of 2020 in my household almost coming to an end.

Make-believing in this Irish kind of weather, winter clothes out and back again on summer 🤷🏻‍♀️😅.
.
Just a little something on skincare, where #lessismore also works. ☺️
.
Pre-lockdown, my skin was very dry. Now I haven’t worn a lipstick and foundation in 3 months and mascara in 6 months (because I did a lasik surgery). My skin feels like it’s breathing more and less dry. I also think I’m more of a skin-care person than a make-up person.☺️

“If you are weary
in the waiting,
take whatever
strength you have left,
and run to the shores
of grace.
Arrive broken,
burdened,
carrying your tapestries
made of worries,
and be willing
and ready
to lay it all down
at the feet of Jesus. ― Morgan Harper Nichols @morganharpernichols .
