It's complete! Yay! When we first moved into our house, I had the idea to put up a gallery wall somewhere in the house. I just couldn’t figure out where. And then one day, as I was looking around the living room/kitchen area, I had a vision for a gallery wall…and from that point on, I ...
Festival Fun and House Projects Completed
Ohhh, what a great weekend! Filled with fun and productivity, and since I’ve got lots to share, I’m just gonna jump right into it! Friday night was spent at home with some takeout pizza and wine, all while hanging out on the front porch with my boys. It was the most gorgeous evening…gotta ...
Cooking in the New Kitchen {Blue Apron Giveaway CLOSED}
If I’ve said it once, I’ve said it a hundred times, but I cannot get over how much I am loving having my own kitchen again. Sure, I could still cook when we lived with our friends and with my parents, but it’s just different, you know? Things aren’t where you’d have them, they don’t have everything ...
Tomorrow is the Day!
We’ve FINALLY received the word…tomorrow is the day we officially become home owners once again!! We have our closing tomorrow morning, and from there, the plan is to MOVE, MOVE, MOVE. My poor parents…we’ve been taking over their entire house for the past 5-6 weeks or so, and I’m sure they’ll be ...
Fun Facts Friday {8/7}
1. What do you do after spending 2-1/2 hours walking through your new home and are starving? You hit up Five Guys for a celebratory burger and fries, that’s what! 2. As for the walk thru? It went awesome! We walked the entire house, inside and out, checking for any minor issues like paint, ...
House Finds, a New DIY Project + I Need Your Input!
My poor parents. We’re just continuing to take over just about every single room in the house with all of our “stuff.” It sure is a good thing they’re pretty good sports about it! It probably doesn’t help matters much when I wind up going out and doing a totally unexpected haul at Marshall’s… ...
That Time Jay Got Old {+ a New House Update–ALMOST Finished!}
Another fun weekend, in the books! This weekend was extra special because Saturday was Jay’s birthday, so we celebrated him turning old – err, I mean, 32 – all weekend long. In addition to his birthday celebrations, we also got time to spend with all grandparents, AND, we got to visit the new ...
Fun Facts Friday {7/24}
1. Hoooorayyyyy for Friday! I’ve been either a day ahead or behind pretty much all week, which can be super annoying (yay it’s Thursday! Oh wait…it’s only Wednesday). And Jay has also been away for work again this past week (booo), but he's coming back today and we’ve made it to Friday. Life. is. ...
Weekend Fun + We Have Half a Kitchen! {House Update}
Hello! And happy Monday to you. Did you all have a fabulous weekend? Ours was really great, and for the first time in a while I was feeling much more like myself. Starting with Friday night…it was a bit of a rough week on the work front, so I was more than happy to break open a bottle of wine and ...
Poolside Fun
Well I’ll say this much…it’s not easy coming back into another work week after having such a fabulous weekend. Why can’t weekends be, like, 5 days long and work weeks be two? That’s not asking so much, right? I honestly didn’t take too many pictures over the weekend, and I barely touched my ...
