Good morning and happy Saturday! 

Today is a big day around here because Trevor is moving back IN!!! In case you missed it, Trevor moved into my parents walk out basement over a month ago when everything with Covid-19 had begun. There was just so much unknown, I was pregnant and with my history of respiratory illness we just wanted to be as cautious as possible. 

The decision for him to move back in isn’t a sign that this pandemic is over but more so that we feel like his overall risk at work is now low, the PPE equipment he needs readily available and our ability to stay somewhat separate at home seems more feasible since Zain has been doing such a great job with it. 

The plan is for him to live on our third floor in the guest room so we can close that area off, wear a mask at home, keep his distance and close that top floor off to just him. Although we won’t be hugging or in close contact having his presence back in the house is a much needed spirit booster. 

I can’t fully express how much being away from him has been a struggle but I know Zain will be ecstatic and I’m happy to move in the right direction. He is actually off work this coming week so we thought this would be the best time to transition back and make sure everything is flowing smoothly. 

I think I may finally get a good night’s sleep knowing he’s in the house with us and let go of whatever anxiety I have been holding in my back for the past month. I also wanted to say thank you to everyone that has reached out and checked on us. I have truly been touched by how thoughtful you all have been and it sincerely helped me stay positive!

Aside from that big news, I thought I would share a few sales I thought were worth shopping in case you are. I just want to preface this by saying I fully understand that many of you may not be shopping right now and I understand that. On the opposite end, I’ve had more requests than ever before for these types of posts because some of you are trying to take advantage of the huge sales retailers are having so I want to try to offer content that is helpful for everyone while still being understanding! 

I only highlighted a handful of retailers I thought were worth noting and think the outdoor furniture is too good to pass up. It’s making me want to redecorate our backyard 🙂
