Hi! I hope y'all had a great weekend! We had a busy week with my mom in town for Lincoln's birthday party and christening (posts on that to come soon!) The last week was full of changes--- Lincoln turned one, I incorporated dairy and soy back into my diet and I'm working on weaning from pumping (down to two sessions a day now). I have a lot ...

Living Room: Accent Chairs & Updates
Our living room is taking so much longer than I ever imagined to come together. After waiting 16 weeks (SIXTEEN WEEKS!!!) for our new couch, when it came in, it was not good. I didn't share this because I'm getting excellent customer service and the problem is being resolved, but basically the couch was so poorly made with an ill-fitting, ...
Living Room Inspiration
sofa | teak armchair | bergere chair | cane-back chair | chandelier Our living room is the most challenging space in our new home because of the way it's configured. Our downstairs consists of a kitchen, living and dining room and it's all one open-concept space. We also have a powder room and office down the hall, separated from ...
Black & White Favorites for the Home
I love adding touches of black and white to both our home and my closet and I especially love black and white patterns to add a little dimension and interest to a room. In today's post, I'm sharing some of my recent (and not so recent) favorite B&W purchases. The first is this black and white striped light with tassel from the Emily + ...
Our Weekend…
Happy Sunday! I'm blogging from my favorite room ever right now--- our playroom. It's also the only room that has a TV right now, so... These next few weekends are kind of nerve-wracking for me. I feel a sense of "this baby could come at any time" which I did not feel at all with Harper. I still have my external version scheduled for tomorrow and ...
The Internet is Back
(our subway tile kitchen backsplash--- I've waited a long time for this!) After four collective hours on the phone with AT&T (don't ask, I can't even) and over two weeks of waiting, we finally have internet at the new house. This momentous occasion means I can get back to blogging! First of all--- thank you to everyone here and on IG that ...
Home Updates: Restoration Hardware Curtains for the Kitchen & Dining Room Chandelier
On Saturday, we had Kyle, our handyman from One Call Home Handyman come to our home to install our Restoration Hardware curtains, our Overstock.com chandelier and to wall-mount our TV in the master bedroom. Some of you may recall that Kyle installed our original chandelier over the island in out kitchen. We were so thrilled with the ...
Home Updates (or Lack Thereof)
I haven't written about our new home in a long time because our house is in shambles. I went on one of my manic cleaning sprees and threw away a ton of stuff and we bought these vacuum seal bags to store things we never use like older bed sheets and pillows, etc. Basically, our house looked better the day after we moved in than it does now. We've ...
Home Tour: Updates w/ Furniture & Decor
I am excited to share with you a photo-tour of our new home with furniture and decor! I took these over the weekend after cleaning like a maniac. Dark hardwood floors are beautiful, but I've never vacuumed so much in my life. Because our second floor is basically one long rectangle, the vacuuming is actually pretty easy so no ...
New Closet: Disaster to Workable
Hello everyone! Just a quick note to say that AT&T is FINALLY installing internet and U-Verse in our home tomorrow so things should be back to normal soon (now that I've missed the finales of Bachelor Pad, True Blood and Curb Your Enthusiasm...but that's neither here nor there). I wanted to post this quick update of my closet progress. I spent ...
