Written ByLynn

By this time next week I will be in full panic mode! Two of my girlfriends are coming to visit me. Michele from Vintage Home Designs in Dallas, Texas, and Wendy from WMDesign House in Southern California.

What’s Been Happening This Week?

I’ve been trying to get ahead with my blogging. I’ve only been relatively successful. 🙂

We’ve been power washing, weeding, cleaning, painting, doing laundry, and all the things. We also have the kids here this weekend because it’s my birthday tomorrow. They have been helping with all the things! My birthday present request!

What I’m Up to Next Week

We are in the home stretch of getting everything ready for my friend’s visit; however, I have little Harrison all week. He’s in between his nanny going back to school (she’s a teacher) and his day care starting. It’s a brand new facility, and they don’t open until 9/8. His Nana from NYC is coming in to watch him next week.

I can’t get much done while he is here, so next weekend I will be a maniac. There is a good chance you might not hear from me.

A peek into my life

Lynn’s Recollections & Reflections

I have a little series that started out as a journal of sorts for my kids to have about my life. It became something more.

It’s a place where I share a very personal look into my life and believe it or not have helped some people get out of unhealthy situations.

It’s a work of fiction as it relates to others as it is my recollections of events. I hope you enjoy!
