remodeling this life

Yesterday, hubby was feeling a little sad. I came home with the kids and found him sitting at the computer, right here at this little old blog going back through old photos of the house. While I started dinner, we poked around here together at the house remodel photos page (where there are links to other projects I’m not showing here today). It didn’t take long to lift him out of his funk after looking back and seeing now how far we’ve come. Here’s a little trip down memory lane with befores and afters in one place. Just for fun.

Then…

Now…

Being in this home for coming up on 4 years sure has changed things. The way we spend our time, the things we appreciate more, the pride we feel in making a home. It’s nice to be able to go back and look at pictures and see visible progress.

I thought I’d try something new today. It may go well, it may not. Instead of sharing with you a few things that I found in my reader this week from the same blogs that I read all the time, I thought I’d broaden my horizons and give you a chance to share. So, I am asking you to share a link from your blog below in the McLinky that I hopefully will insert properly and will function fabulously.

One time many years ago, I had a party at my new condo and one person showed up. It was not one of my finer moments. So I am laying this out there that I hope that I don’t have a link party today that no one shows up to. I am making it easy. Simply share a post that you love. I want to visit everyone and see who you are, what matters to you and what inspires you to sit down at your computer and share.

A few pesky rules: make sure the post you link up is a permalink – that it goes directly to a blog post, not just your blog’s main page. It makes it easier for everyone. If you’d like to link back here in your post, that would be wonderful. And I hope after you leave your link that you will visit others, comment and spread some love and joy around.

Happy Simple Saturday.

Emily at chatting at the sky is hosting a linky party. The idea is to capture a glimpse of your home that makes your space home to you. Easy peasy.

I love being home. I really really do. And nothing says relaxing at home more than the reading and writing chair.

Go ahead, link up at glimpses of home. Share. Visit. Be inspired.
