the little things


We’ve now spent ten nights in our new place, and it is starting to feel like home! There are many big things I could say about the house—what I love about it and what needs improvement. But right now, I’m only focusing on six little things that I am excited about.

1. We have a porch swing. Nolan likes to sit in it for about five seconds. Steve says it’s Amish-made, which makes it a neat addition.


2. A double sink. I can’t tell you how many times I wished for one when our dishes would pile up in the apartment, and there was no leftover space to wash hands or fill up glasses.

3. A window seat. The seat opens up for storage, and once we get some curtains and pillows, it will be a cozy reading spot.


4. Washer and dryer! This is the first time (since I lived with my mom in high school) that I’ve had a free washer and dryer in my building! This almost deserves its own post!


5. Though the small garden looked overgrown and has not been taken care of this summer, I found swiss chard, rhubarb, peppers, and tomatoes growing healthily!


6. I haven’t used it yet, but I love that there is a clothesline in the backyard for wet beach towels, rugs, and to share my delicates in front of the neighbors ;)
