Just the way that I love to spend my Sunday evenings on a long weekend, cleaning bathrooms. It’s probably my most hated chore of housekeeping. I loathe it.

I managed to mostly get Merle’s room looking decent this weekend though (it’s been pretty unorganized since we moved in). And Roo, don’t get me started with her bedroom…

I am sitting here waiting for a big storm that is supposed to come through. The wind is starting to pick up, but I am not holding my breath. So far this summer, every single time they have predicted a good storm hitting us it seems to be minimal or pass us by.

A full 24 hours of rain would be nice because I don’t think we got one of those days for the entire summer. I love rain and loathe the heat. If that isn’t any indication that I live in the wrong city, I don’t know what is.

Tom ordered us Dairy Queen Blizzards that just arrived and they immediately had to go into the freezer.

One of the things 18+ months has taught us…or at least taught me is that you don’t need a huge wardrobe of clothes. I mean, I felt similar before all of this happened but it’s been really reinforced lately.

If you are looking for help building a capsule wardrobe then this post might be for you.

Can you imagine trying to figure out what to wear every day with that much choice?

It is about two weeks until school starts and I still haven’t figured out our game plan. It is Roo’s last year of high school and my plan for the writing course went into the shitter since it now won’t be ready until spring 2020.

I am not really sure what way to go with it now.

This might in fact be the year when I finish the plans the night before.

I hope not.

I have been for this moment all year. The fall capsule wardrobe moment. When I was out today, I got a little thrill when my watch buzzed with a notification from H&M saying “cozy fall knitwear”. I couldn’t wait to get home to check it out.

Because cozy fall knitwear is all part of my personal hygge.

I called this post The Ultimate Fall Capsule Wardrobe for Me because it is basically the pieces I live in from fall until it starts to warm up again in spring.

You might have noticed that I was sporting a new purse this week. Well, new to me but it’s actually preloved. I love being able to find something that may no longer be considered an “IT” bag but is something that speaks to you.

It actually was considered an IT Bag way back in 2011, but you don’t really see people sporting them anymore but that didn’t sway my decision.

It is the Fendi Silvana bag and it comes in a whole slew of colours. The blue combo and the green combo are beautiful and it would have been a hard decision if they were available at the same time as this one, but they weren’t in any shops within Canada.
