I could be embarrassed with how long it has taken me to write a blog post since my last article went up, but honestly, it's for good reason. It's no secret that I'm a working Mama. I recently accepted a very generous promotion, but with a promotion comes more responsibility. Sometimes this means I work … Continue reading Fall is Upon Us (or Arrived, if You’re in my House)
Just like the beloved Daniel Tiger sings, "There are lots and lots of feelings, And we can feel them all." In this case, those feelings have most recently been about car buying. Feelings like, EXCITED: I get to get a new car! I cannot wait to get a new car! STRESSED: Which one should I pick? … Continue reading Shiny, Clean Car: My Biggest Challenge Yet
It seems like just about every conversation I start with friends, family, coworkers and clients as of late begins the same way, "I am just so busy (or stressed or swamped)!" I am 100% a contributor to the vocalized stress conversations. But it seems like everyone I know is stuck in this rut of running … Continue reading Celebrating the Flowers in our Lives
When I started this blog, we had just bought our first home. We were renovating where we could (read: we are terrible handy folks so our DIY projects were primarily painting projects). Since that time, I had another baby, I started/closed my own tee shop and fell back in love with working on my personal … Continue reading Envisioning my Dream Home: Wishlisting
CRS. It's a syndrome almost all adults experience. It's a worldwide phenomenon and yet no one seems to be talking about it. What is it? It's that moment when you enter a room and immediately forget why you were in the first place, which can make things reaaaaaal weird. Or when you stutter out a phrase … Continue reading I’ve Lost My Mind: Brain Exercises
Parenting is a gift. I prayed and prayed for my girls and take immense joy in the fact that I have two beautiful, healthy girls to love on every minute of every day that I'm able. I understand that not everyone has the opportunity to be a Mom or a Dad and I don't take that … Continue reading Crazy Person: My “Keep Your Sanity” List
I am an extremely sentimental person. For as long as I can remember, I would hold onto little notes my Mom would put in my lunch, birthday cards from family members, drawings friends made me, and so on and so on. Eventually, this transitioned into clothes that I was gifted (but maybe would wear once … Continue reading Spring Cleaning 2018: The Purge
One of the most special days of the holiday season is when I get to break out my three huge Tupperware containers stocked with holiday and seasonal decor. (Note, that does not include my two separate containers filled with ornaments, all of which must make it onto one of my two trees. Check out the … Continue reading Home for the Holidays: Save vs. Splurge on Décor and Entertaining
Have you ever walked into someone's house and felt immediately in awe of every... single... detail in the home? From the color schemes to the décor, from the furniture to the overall home layout? Everything seems to have its place and nothing seems forced. Yep. Mouth-dropped was pretty much my reaction when walking into my best … Continue reading House Tour: Transitional Home Styling
I've been on a kick lately about freshening up our space. It started with a simple paint job to the top of our half-wall (dividing the living room and the kitchen) from '90s oak to white. This weekend, I got a hair up my bum (erm) and decided it was time to take that kitchen … Continue reading Hello, White!
