Hello! I’m not sure if anyone noticed but I skipped a couple of weeks of sharing my weekly favorites while I was away visiting my family. I missed it though as I love showing off great posts I find from around blogland. So many talented gals out there that is for sure! I finally feel like I’m getting my bearings again since being home. My purge pile in my donation station had been piling up so I got that all dropped off at the thrift store on Wednesday. It felt good to get that all out of the house. Most of it was clothes from myself and the kids from when we did our seasonal clothes switch out this year.
Oh and I wanted to share about my trip to the Solutions Store. Solutions here in Canada is the equivalent to the Container Store in the US. The only problem being that there are very few of them in Canada and I think possibly only in Ontario. Since one of those Ontario stores just happens to be about a 15 minute drive from my sister’s house I of course have to go for a visit every time I’m there. It can’t be helped. I almost never buy anything there as it’s definitely pricier than I’m use to paying but I still like to walk through and get ideas and see what’s new in the organizing world that I might not know about. It’s a real treat for me!

What I’m Loving On:
Since I missed sharing my favorites with you for the past two weeks I’m going to share a few photos from my Instagram from when I was in Ontario.
This one is of two of my nieces playing on a beautiful fall day. They were throwing their teddy bears up in the air and trying to catch them. It was fun to watch!
I love fall in Ontario!!
Have a great weekend everyone!

Welcome back, Laura. I love that feeling you describe of getting all the things OUT that have piling up. I have a bag of batteries and those swirly lightbulbs waiting to get dropped off at the recycle center, plus a box for Goodwill. Have a great weekend!
