Happy Monday!  I hope you had a wonderful weekend.  If you follow me on Instagram, you probably saw a few things:  first, we spent our entire weekend staining our deck.  It’s looking sooooo good, but man, is it a lot of work!  Secondly, I’m starting another one of my month-long sugar/junk food fasts TODAY.  Just […]

I’m sharing some exciting news today and it has to do with one horribly ugly eyesore in my backyard.  Why have I never posted any photos of my backyard, you may ask?  Well, if you knew the state of my back deck, you wouldn’t post any photos either.  Take a look:      (I would […]

Today I’m taking you inside my latest project: our kitchen remodel.  We launched into last weekend and it’s currently a disaster!  But it will be worth it, and I’m giddy with anticipation at all it will be. Oh boy, has this baby been a long time coming.  It has been like a pebble in my […]

Hello everyone!  I can’t believe another weekend has passed.  I need it to be longer!  We launched into our kitchen remodel and the room is a disaster.  Hopefully we can make the most of our evenings this week (and hopefully Jon’s work load won’t be too crazy) and we can plow through the painting. I’ve […]

My, Christmas came and when in a whirlwind!  I’m so sad it’s over, but also a bit relieved.  I felt like I was sprinting to a finish line and it feels sooooooo good to have Ruby’s playroom complete and already in full fun mode.  We stayed up until 3am putting it all together so it […]

While shopping at Target the other day, I wandered down the rug isle looking for some inexpensive options for our dining room.  I don’t know about your house, but at our house, food thrown on the floor by a miniature human is a multi-day activity.  Because of that, I’m not about to fork out a […]

Life with a toddler is messy.  My family room is being overrun with toys and puzzles and crayons and while much of that is to be expected with a pint sized tornado going non-stop all day, it is partly my fault.  Besides her bedroom, Ruby doesn’t really have a designated space all her own.  A […]

I love me a good gallery wall.  It’s a place to compile and display things you love– photos, artwork, mirrors, figurines, some sentimental, some quirky.  They can be difficult to put together without making them look messy, but I think it’s a fun challenge.  Sort of like a jigsaw puzzle. Our bedroom had a wall […]
