Monthly Recap | May 2020
Happy June y’all! We made it through another month of this pandemic and we’re now officially in the month that Baby K is due! It feels like there’s been SO much going on over here and I can’t tell you how happy I am that things have started to open back up in our home province of Alberta and life feels a bit more normal again!
May saw us welcoming my mama to stay with us for an extended period of time and celebrating Simon turning 6! We’ve also been tackling a lot of projects around the house, continuing to get ready to welcome baby, and Shane and I even managed to go on a date! Here’s a little glimpse into what we’ve been up to…
What We’ve Been Working On
I had to go back and look through my photos to remind myself of what exactly we’ve tackled this month, cause it feels like it’s been a lot! We finished the mud room closet, got a large garden plot ready (with the help of our neighbour and his tractor), Shane and the kids built a beautiful black greenhouse, we bought a shipping container (and painted it) and cleared out the entire garage. We also had all new gutters installed on the house, had a new furnace and instant hot water system installed, made multiple trips to the dump, and made a bunch of freezer meals in anticipation of baby. And most importantly, Shane painted the wall in our master that has been making me bonkers for months now!!! ;)
Amazon Win
Eufy RoboVac
Honestly, I have so much to say about this little device that the kids have affectionately named Jeff, that I feel like it will be its own blog post! lol I got so many questions about him when I shared about him on my Instagram stories so I wanted to make sure I linked the exact one… I have wanted to join the robovac family for so long now and being super pregnant seemed like the right time ;)
What We’ve Been Watching
Home Town (Prime Video - Stack TV)
We normally don’t watch that much tv during the day but with me being super pregnant, it’s been a nice quiet activity. Since my mama is here, we’ve been watching her favourite HGTV show and we’re all enjoying it so much! The kids are chips off the old block of Shane and I and love anything to do with home building, renos, diy, etc. It’s so cute to hear them chat through the show about the process and how daddy has the same tools as Ben ;)
Music Finds
You Ain’t Dolly (And You Ain’t Porter) - Ashley Monroe & Blake Shelton
Y’all, this is one of the most perfectly twangy songs I’ve heard in a long time and I loved it from the first time I heard it!
Six Feet Apart - Luke Combs
Sophie is actually the one that had me listen to this first - she heard it on the radio while she was mowing the lawn and she loved it.
It All Comes Out in the Wash - Miranda Lambert
I really do love her music and when I heard this one recently I just knew I had to add it to my “Life Theme Songs” playlist… it’s just so much fun!
