Here we go, some renovation reality, if you will. I love sharing house content. I’m passionate about home, and all that goes into making one. We’re in the middle of a massive, transformational, exciting home renovation– the biggest one we’ve ever done (of which there are many in our home portfolio). Lately however, it’s been […]

Today was a good day.  I tried to cherish every moment with my girls, enjoyed the highs and brushed off the lows, celebrated small victories and heard “I love you so much mama” so many times I thought my heart might burst.  I felt more like myself today than I have in quite a while. […]

Today I woke up feeling fresh and new and more like myself than I have in quite some time.  Part of it was that Vivienne slept 7 1/2 hours last night (can I get a hallelujah?), another part was that poor Anna who has had the flu slept through the night as well (double hallelujah!) […]

I have had one such week– one full of emotion and contemplation and worry and love. A week of reflection.  And it started with the most […]

It’s happening– this week my baby girl turns the big 2!  I can’t believe it’s almost here.  I feel like I was just pregnant and I blinked and now she’s a teenager.  Ok, not quite, but still.  How did this happen so quickly? Over the weekend we hosted a party for our family, friends, and […]

Originally I had planned to post more about the bathroom progress today, but instead I decided to take a break from the remodeling posts and reflect on the year past, as well as the year to come. I’ve always been a lover of the new year.  I’m a goal setter.  A checker-offer.  A resolution rejoicer. […]
