~  S U M M E R ~ “Hey Guys, Just Wanted To Share Some Progress On My House Reno. The Floor Plan Of

I’ve been working so hard and finally I got promoted! I am now officially a teacher! Now I just have to get this mountain of laundry done. Hopefully with this promotion I’ll have more money to put into my house renovation (I’m living in an old Victorian that I inherited from my Nana). For now enjoy my Landry Reno, I just love the tile. I don’t love waiting around for the drier to finish though!

This little cutie made my day today! For our English project I asked students to write on someone inspirational. Most picked presidents or Astronauts but not Sofia. I was blown away to find she picked me! Moments like this are what make teaching so worth it, when you realize you are impacting a child’s life and future.

Thanks to @lumospixels for sending me her lovely Sofia. I love following her IG and it was a privilege to collab with her. Plus, just look at this cutie! And thanks to Frankie for the collab challenges!

~ F A L L ~  Last Pumpkin Spice Latte of the Season. Not ready for winter yet! Trying to finish a remodel on my second bedroom, soon to be office before the snow hits. I’ve decided I’m not much of a painter, but I’m trying my hand at novels. Let’s see how this goes… Also gotta love Willow my photobombing cat! I can’t ever take a photo without her coming up to see what’s going on! Haha, gotta love this sweet fluffy feline. 

A collab with myself? Lol. I wanted to introduce Kelsey, Jenna and Becca as other sims I was going to play (about to have a few posts of Kelsey). Loved this lot in my winchester save though! I did play Jenna (the platinum blond) and got her almost all the way up in the daycare career in `Winchester. 

Bloggers Conference

~ S P R I N G ~

Hey friends! Gracie here! I’m excited to be packing up to head to a blogging conference. Since blogging is so new for me I thought it’d be great to get some tips and it just so happens a few of my best friends are attending as well. Can’t wait to see them all!

Look at this darling little B&B! I never want to leave! And I also don’t want to leave these girls! Becca has been showing us darling pictures of her little boy and hubby and she’s here to get her home decorating blog bringing in more business. Her husband’s a contractor and she’s the designer and they do such great work together. Kelsey and her husband Isaac are running a ranch where they help rehabilitate and train animals as a way to save up for an adoption of their own sweet baby. And Jenna and her mom just opened a new Day Care called Haven Childcare and she’s working to learn to promote her business too.

I’m so grateful to be reunited for a weekend and that they all live closer now so hopefully you’ll see them again soon.

So thrilled I got to watch my sister Hope’s darling little girl, Tessa, this weekend! I thought she might have fun having a little play date with sweet little Nell! At first Tessa was more interested in her new toys and Nell wanted to be held (I think she was afraid of my cat Willow :P) but by the end the girls were having so much fun. I love getting to watch them play and learn together! I think I officially have baby fever after so many cute little ones lately!

Thanks so much to Frankie for these fun challenges @simblrsimplyforfun! Also a big thank you to @pixiesandbuttercups for sending her sweet Nell to play! She’s so darling!

Another day, another beautiful house in Rosewood Park.

Inspired to decorated by watching C J Plays on YouTube with his decorating Rosewood series so I wanted to decorate too (just of course had to use way more cc). Going for a coastal cottage kinda vibe.

Thank you to all the cc creators! @gruesim @zoeoe-sims @martassimsbookcc @kerriganhouse @aroundthesims and many others 💕

Mason’s Home Updates

Today I’m sharing some home updates. My sweet friend Becca who I visited at the blogging conference is an interior designer and she helped us pick paint colors, and her husband and mine came and tore up walls, put in new floors, and put up trim and paint. I love the new black doors, white trim and finally white windows.    Here are some before and afters!  The Before of the entryway in one word was: Dark! 

I’m so in love with the after. The bench was an antique store find, and I love the half shiplap, half painted walls Becca helped us with. I love all the flowers in this space and it’s so functional for our needs.

Here’s the before of the living room. Can you tell that we bought this house from some elder sims? But now I love how light and bright it is. The fireplace is my favorite and I love how now the center of our home feels so peaceful and inviting. We have also finished the laundry room and downstairs bathroom, so all that’s left is the kitchen/dinning area. But I think the next space I’ll be sharing is my office make over. (Or cute pictures of our animal friends! Speaking of Bella is being her normal self making a mess and photobombing these living room photos!) 

Hope you enjoyed these photos! More to come soon! 

Hey Guys!  Wanted to start sharing my recent save. I’m playing rotationally in the beautiful Hylewood by @nilxis! This is my first rotation since finishing doing some of my own builds and I’m excited to share a mix of gameplay, story, and occasionally posed photos. 

Atwood Family Bio:

Hello from Hylewood’s oldest family line, William Atwood’s great grandfather helped discover and found this Island and they have been helping the Island grow ever since. William is in the political career trying to make his way up to mayor. His wife Sarah is the local teacher and they have two beautiful daughters Charlotte (left) and Jessica (right). 

One of the wealthiest families on the Island, William is a perfectionist who deeply cares about appearances. He makes sure his daughters are well behaved straight A+ students, while his wife helps brings out the family’s gentler nurturing side. William is perfectly happy with how life is going, but his wife Sarah thinks that maybe they have room in the family for one more. 

~ S U M M E R ~ “Hey!” A stranger in a polka dotted bikini waved at Gracie and Matt as they emerged from the water glistening wet.

“Hi!” Matt responded waving in a friendly manner while Gracie tried to follow suit by sending the girl a reserved wave. From the safety of Matt’s shadow of course

“We just lost a few players for our volleyball game. Want to play?” Her eyes were open and kind.

“Sure!” Matt responded without so much as a glance towards Gracie. He started walking towards them. Gracie followed and began to towel herself dry, watching Matt and marveling at how being friendly came so easy to him (and at his muscles).

Matt gave her a friendly nudge, “Earth to Grace. You ready?”

“Uhm it’s just that I’ve never done this before. You know, volleyball.”

He didn’t bat an eye, “Then it will all the more fun to teach you. Come on”

Gracie opened her mouth to argue but Matt was already walking away so instead she obediently followed. Much to her surprise she found herself enjoying the company, especially the outgoing Natalia. By the end of the day Gracie had exchanged numbers with some of the girls and promised to come play again.

A fun collab for @simblrsimplyforfun with @simming-love and her beautiful sim Natalia. My computer kept crashing so I didn’t get to take as many photos but at least I could finish  This was to complete challenge 9! Frankie could I have the Fleur skin?

~ S U M M E R  ~ “End of summer means lots of hard work in the garden for me. Gardening is so therapeutic but I know with school starting up this fall it’s gonna be a lot harder to spend time out here. Trying to get everything ready for harvest time! Can’t wait!”
