The wind-down at the end of the day is a challenge. Every living thing in this house is STARVING, and most of us are cranky. Chances are, we have no idea what we’re making for dinner, and there’s a mad rush to make sure laundry that’s needed for the next day is getting clean and kids are getting cleaned. By the time we get through all of that, Scott and I are usually looking at each other with that face that says, “Ready for a drink?”
Since I usually get most of my work done at night, I typically head off to the amazing office Scott built us and sit at the desk Scott built me. In fact, he had something to do with 90% of the walls and floors in the office. He even built us some beautiful closet doors (seriously, they’re not your everyday closet doors). So I guess I can say that my husband built me a Chateau. I’m very spoiled lucky like that.
Who needs a private real Chateau anyway? Just more bathrooms to clean, right?

Me + a glass of wine + back porch + dusk + tiki torches – children whining = my Chateau
I miss my “chateau”. It’s just me and wine and reruns of Friends while I work on some Pinterest projects as the rest of the house sleeps. I haven’t seen my chateau in a while since I’m pregnant and passing out early with no energy for projects (or, let’s be honest, the dinner dishes), but I shall visit again one day!
I tweeted about the giveaway!
