I really don’t miss the pink paint with the maroon wallpaper border, believe it or not!.

Plus it makes a good story.. And, don’t worry, it’s a story with a happy ending..I just got a preview of the new updated cover and a few sample pages of what the inside of the book will look like and they’re amazing!

They’re easy-to-read!They let the content shine through clearly!They’re super functional and cute!

So basically, the design team really knows what they’re doing and we probably should have just left them to it in the first place.The most important thing to me is that this book will be a great, easy resource for anyone wanting to up their cleaning game a little, or who needs a little encouragement to dig their way out of a house that feels like it needs way too much of a time commitment to be cleaned properly, and I think we’re definitely on the right track for that..

I hope you’re finding these little book-writing stories interesting and informative so far!

I think I’ll go back in time a little next time I share some of my book-writing adventures with you and talk a little about the actual writing of the book.I’m really not in a place in my life right now where I have any free time for playing around with decorations in my house when the seasons change, but I. love.

seasonal decorations and that feeling of time passing with the seasons that you get when you take a moment to acknowledge it.Getting outside and looking at the changes in nature around you is one way to get a sense of that place in time, but adding a few things around the house to celebrate can really help too!

And the kids like it!I just took 5 minutes here and there, maybe once every few days over the course of a couple of weeks to put some stuff out around the house that made me feel cheerfully fallish and like I’d done my part to set us up for the season ahead.
