The Winters family is heading to Italy — in four flippin’ days!
We are soooo dang excited. Well, at least Scott and I are excited. The kids really aren’t convinced that this is a good idea. 😆🤷♀️
My first blog post in this series tells you about how we were looking for a renter. The good news is, we found one!
For the past many months, we’ve been fixing up the house and getting it ready.
Last weekend, we even roped some family members in by saying we were having a “work party” — everything sounds more fun when you add party to the end of it! But they helped us a TON and we’re super grateful.
We’ll be working up to the moment we’re ready to leave, but it’s oh-so-worth-it. Not just for the incredible summer we’ll have, but also for how it’s changing our life at home.
The one thing I keep thinking about while we do all this is — why don’t we do this for ourselves? The pressure of fixing the house up for a renter has motivated us to get more done in 3 months than we have in several years! Can you relate to that? I bet you can.
This summer is going to be amazing, but I’m also going to love coming home to a place where we’ve worked so hard to get things into shape. It’s not perfect, but it’s home!
What kind of projects do you have on your fix-it list? Tell me in the comments!
