1. Do a DIY project!
I just did a makeover on a nursery glider. Well, my mom and I did. Okay, I don’t sew…my mom made the slip covers. But it was my idea. I needed a glider and didn’t want to spend a fortune. So I found one in good working condition at a yard sale, painted it white, and my mom and I recovered the cushions. We used a shower curtain! I saw that idea on Pinterest. So clever.
Here’s a picture of the result. (I have to attach the cushions tomorrow at church). The chair is actually for our church’s nursery. There will be 4 newborn babies over the next 4-6 months so we needed more gliders. 🙂 The brown chair is the before. I should have taken more pictures of the process, but for some reason I didn’t!
2. Apply for two jobs. Get hired for two jobs. Then end up not accepting two jobs…epic. fail.
3. Move to a different house during the hottest part of summer.
4. Swim in your parents’ pool.
5. Plant and tend to a garden! By far my favorite. Now if my tomatoes would hurry up! I want to make salsa and pico de gallo and bruschetta…mmmmmm….
And well, there you have it. A productive summer in a nutshell.
How is your summer going so far? I hope it’s great and as exciting as mine! 😉
Hi Heather! I’m following you on Facebook and I’m happy that I found your blog!
I’m currently doing a major in Speech Sciences – that was your minor, right? 🙂
Anyways, loving it and my dream is to become an SLP! God has been my rock too! I’d love for you to pray for me and I’m just going to do my best and let Him do the rest ! 🙂
Thanks for putting up this blog and continuing to inspire other readers like me!
Hi Lisa!
That is awesome! Yes, in my undergrad studies I was an English Major and Speech and Hearing Sciences Minor then in graduate school I took extra classes to catch up and my graduate program took longer (3 years) but it all went so well and I had a great program and professors. I will pray for you and don’t hesitate to reach out to me if you ever need anything!
God bless you!
Love,
Heather
