I love writing my Saturday posts to share a bit about my week and what’s been happening at WM Design House. This week was a whirlwind but also a lot of fun.
I have to be honest. My week was mostly about work. I am getting ready to go to a blogger’s conference next week. With that in mind, I had to put the pedal to the metal to finish all of my posts before I leave Wednesday.
Weekend adventures
Last weekend the girls and I had the cutest Pop-up flower shop at our home.
We even had a few tomatoes and a basket full of squash from the garden.
I told the girls we would help them earn some college money, lol, it’s never too early to start. And boy did we do that. Thank you to all of you who showed up to buy flowers. I promise we will do it again soon.
(Can you see my sweet little Mollie hiding in this picture? she did not want to miss out on the activities ).
The girls helped cut flowers, arrange them, set up, sell flowers and tear down. We had so much fun and there was only a little bit of complaining, haha.
What’s Happening at WM Design House
The garden is still surviving the heat. Our temperatures have been over 100 degrees all week. However I am continuing to harvest dahlias daily.
My Teddy Bear sunflowers have also made their appearance. Aren’t they beautiful.
And the best thing happened this week! We got a new ice maker.
I am sure you are laughing at this one!
Our previous ice maker died about 2 years ago and we finally got a new one.
Sometimes it is the little things in life that make us so happy!

As one who loves creativity, I am grateful to be surrounded by so many gifted bloggers.
Their work is nothing short of art, and it never fails to amaze and inspire me. I anticipate their latest work each week, and I am always left feeling enriched and inspired after reading their blog posts.
