W E L C O M E. I'm Justine. I wear scrunchies & dream of bottling that 'old house musk'. This blog is a highlight reel, a self-reminder, & a virtual notebook where I ramble about my messy, little life.

FOUR, LITTLE IG BOXES

Desperately trying to mentally transport myself to this past Sunday when I wasn’t in excruciating pain all day long. I don’t talk much about my health because ... well I don’t like to feel like I’m complaining ... but bloody hell has the past week been hard. Fibromyalgia + bulging disc(s?) + a pelvis constantly shifting out of place is no fun. I’ve got maybe six hours of sleep the past two days. I can’t stop pacing because the shooting pain is too intense. Sitting hurts, lying down hurts, walking hurts. I’ve been up since 1:30am. I’m missing a BBQ party that I really wanted to attend. I’ve probably cried a tubs worth of tears. I reached a whole new level of pathetic when Ian had to help me up the stairs to bed last night. Ok, thanks for letting me get my pitty party complaints out IG ... If anyone has gone through something similar, shoot me some hope of future relief below ... or tell me something good to get those happy hormones flowing. ♥︎
Procrastinating hard over here, so I decided to share some before + during + after snaps of our kitchen space! Fun fact: We used the kitchen in its ‘before state’ for nearly four years ... I DO NOT miss those days. #heritagehomereno
Ok, how adorable is this leash hook by @rubythursdaycollective 🐾?! Yes, that is Miss Waffles little face on it! We finally found the perfect spot for it by the back door. Stay tuned for the reveal of that nook. Oh and happy Sunday, lovelies! #lifewithMissWaffles
Bathroom bits: The itty bittiest ‘get naked’ art print (Limun Designs on Etsy ... psssst it was five dollars) + the BEST towels ever (@onsentowel, worth every dolla bill). What are your favourite washroom items? #heritagehomereno

Morning light + a rather lengthy paper to write + coffee sipped on the back deck (while discussing the summer reno to-do list). •• On a related note, do you have an arborist you would suggest? Our elm trees need some major pruning. #heritagehomereno
