Hello friends! I’ve been very very sparse on the blog lately. We’ve had an absolutely crazy June, so I just wanted to briefly update you on where I’ve been + summer plans for Just to Claireify.
This month so far:
- Both kids started summer swim lessons
- We saw my aunt who visited from out of town, who we hadn’t seen since we got married!
- We’ve been working on a variety of small home improvements, both hiring out and Eric & my dad DIY’ing some
- Catching up with old friends over phone and in person
- Spending some time at the local pool
- Attending our college reunion
- Continuing to declutter the house–we brought another trunkload to Half Price/Goodwill over the weekend
- And many other things!
That being said, I really miss writing, both on here and my freelance work. I got my first “big” paycheck in the mail today from something I submitted a while back (and by big, I mean more than $10-20 :P). And I don’t do it for the money at all, but it’s nice to think that I could spin it into a career someday when my kids are a bit older and more self-sufficient.
This summer, I’m planning to stick to topics that are a big part of my personal experience/goals right now: decluttering/minimalism, routines, and feminine inspiration. As always, let me know in the comments if you prefer other topics I can add in 🙂 I’m staying away from the personal posts right now since that’s what I’m comfortable with. Maybe they’ll return in the future!
xx Claire
