I was just sitting here and got hit with a wave of extreme tiredness. I don’t know what is up, but I am definitely going to bed early tonight.

The green Zara flats that I have been waiting to come into stock arrived this week and I love them. I advice sizing down 1/2 a size because my regular 8 was really big. The 7.5 fit perfect.

We have this chair from Ikea. It is a great chair but was unused for a while so a while back Roo (my oldest) asked if she could have it in her room.

Happy Friday, but it’s now actually Saturday since it is after midnight and I haven’t posted yet. We spent the day today bringing some stuff downstairs to the new apartment.

Since we still don’t have any boxes we were fitting as much stuff as we could into our grocery wagon and bringing it down bit by bit…which is super long and tedious.

Update: both girls decided that they don’t care if their rooms are painted white. Merle said she likes the pink colour, and Roo said she is just going to cover it up with posters.

20 Spring Trends That Are Easy to Wear

20 Spring Trends that are easy to wear and how to wear them.

I want to amend this and call it 20 spring trends that anyone can wear as well because we all know that I don’t believe in the whole “you can’t wear that” “dress your age” bullshit.

I decided to do a spring trend post today instead of a capsule wardrobe for a few reasons. Primarily I am tired and falling behind this week as per usual.

Capsules take a long time and when you don’t get a designated time period to work on things every day then life’s responsibilities and interruptions are a real time suck.

I am sitting here waiting to see if we can do the key handoff tonight, but I am not feeling optimistic since it is almost 8 pm. She may still come through because she said this evening.

I just want to get it over with because I hate waiting for people.

I’m very jealous of all of you who live in areas that the flowers are starting to pop up.

We found an apartment! It was the one that we went to see last weekend that is in our building. Tom dropped off the cheque on Friday and we get the keys on Monday.

It needs to be painted before we start bringing stuff down which will be accomplished I have no idea when, but we haven’t even given notice for this place yet.

I don’t think I have ever done a french capsule wardrobe before, so this is a new one based on a request. A young woman who is moving to Paris for 3.5 months. This is where my jealousy kicks in.

Once upon a time, pre this last weird year, I received a large amount of packing list requests. That immediately stopped last February and I actually miss it.
