Swipe for the end results of our little renovation! We’ve always hated the useless triangular built in that made part of the living room wasted space. We think the previous owners built it as a video game area. It had oddly proportioned shelves and wasn’t conducive to our patterns. Part of getting ready for my mom to move in with us this autumn is getting some larger projects done to make way for rearranging the downstairs shelves. So my husband and eldest son took out the useless shelves. We added soundproofing pads the wall and floor, something we’ve needed in our loud downstairs for a while. Now we have a useful shelf and quieter spot that makes the room more hospitable, too.
We have a volunteer lantana in the yard!
Right before a zoom call, I discovered that the kids had rubbed something (a grape lolli?) onto my collar. Thankfully I had some old school brooches nearby, so I transformed my mess into elegance. I’m sure there’s an object lesson about mercy here.
Every now and then I happen to have a camera when a child makes an expression that is so fully themselves, and I remember that glorious truth, “The glory of God is a human fully alive.” #childrenofjoy #autisticjoy #ligglebitty
I fell in love with a few songs over the past year, and I want to share why I especially love some of the ones I sing along with when I’m driving or cooking. First up is “Betty” from Taylor Swift’s _folklore_ album (the clean/radio version!). I sing it every week on the way to church, much to my tweens’ chagrin. I’m standing by it, though! Swipe to see why I love this song. #autisticjoy #betty #songlover #typology #patterns #puns
My 6 year old did my glamorous makeup. #childrenofjoy #autisticjoy
