We put a downpayment on landscaping for our front yard over the weekend, which means something is finally going to be done about our super embarrassing jungle – yay! Our yards, front and back, have taken a serious turn for the worst this year, as Andy and I have been...
For our final gift guide this year, here’s some things for a new mom, which is basically just a collection of things I kind of want. Ok, I’m not technically a mom yet, but with baby coming any day now (she’s due in less than 3 weeks), I’m going to go...
