Our First Floor Guest Bathroom

(P.S. We’re in Europe! Follow us on Facebook, Instagram and Twitter for photos and updates from our trip!) One of our friends was over a couple of weeks ago who had not seen our first floor bathroom since the renovation last December, and that reminded me, somehow I never wrote about...

Family Room Updates

Hi guys! Happy Friday! We wanted to show you the progress we’ve made in our family room. This room has always been sort of neglected and messy and we never used to hang out in it at all, so it’s so great to finally see this room coming together into...

DIY Bathroom Towel Pegs

Well. Woops. I didn’t intend on skipping a post on Monday, but it just happened that way. Blame it on daylight saving time. But mostly blame it on the fact that we had a lot of fun this weekend and didn’t quite finish the projects we had planned, and that’s...

Inspiration: Some Favorite Nurseries

Welcome to Friday, guys! Woo! We’ve had a pretty crazy week around here, hence the missing post on Wednesday, so I’m reeeeallly looking forward to the weekend. And a nap. That brings me to today’s topic. When we made our big announcement last week that we’re expecting a baby girl in January,...

DIY Paper Flower Wreath

Hi guys! Happy Monday! Hope you all had a great weekend. I was feeling pretty sore a lot of the weekend (I guess the third trimester arrives with a bang!), but we still got a ton done around the house(s) and even managed to hang out with friends to have fun, too!...

Style: Spring Forward

1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 After a long, hard winter, the first thing I want to do — no, NEED to do — is treat myself to something new, even if it’s just a new everyday bag or a blush pink faux leather moto jacket for only 18...

Removing Trees From Our Backyard

It’s been a busy couple of weeks around here! Besides taking care of a newborn and a toddler, we’ve also been trying to finish as many projects as we can before Andy has to go back to work, and last week we had two trees removed from our backyard which...

Unexpected Home Renovation Costs to Plan For

When you’re starting a home renovation, everyone will tell you, “it’ll take twice as long and cost twice as much.” That’s just a fact. Case in point: our contractor estimated five weeks and it took eleven (and technically he still needs to come back to finish some things)! So of...

Plans for the first floor guest bathroom

Last week I told you how excited we are that a) our bathroom isn’t quite as scary as we thought, and b) we’re sooooo happy to be getting a new one! Today I wanted to give you a little idea about what we’re doing in there. It’s a teeny tiny...

JOEY LULU, ONE YEAR OLD!

Our little Joanna Lulu turned one a couple of weeks ago! She celebrated by getting her first tooth and three shots. Worst birthday presents ever. Hence the sad face in the photo above. This was one of the least tearful pictures we were able to get, and we tried at two...
