It’s Wednesday which means it’s time to share an update on the $100 Room Challenge. If you are just tuning in, last week I kicked off a month long room makeover where I am turning a current dead space in between the boys rooms into an official Lego Building Nook.

And just like that it’s September! Thankful for another week with the boys in school and we are slowly starting to get back into a routine around here. Any fun plans for Labor Day weekend?
