(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 ...

Third Trimester To-Do List & Some Exciting News!
Happy Thursday! Third trimester to-do list: Wrap-up major projects at work before going on leave. Wash and organize baby clothes. Pick-up newborn stuff we still need. Move. We had talked about searching for a new home before I was even pregnant with baby #2 because our existing home’s layout wasn’t ideal for our growing family. We wanted to ...
Sweet Summer Salad w/ Raspberry Vinaigrette
We are big fruit lovers in this family, especially in the summer time (but really, all year round since it's pretty much guaranteed toddler food). I love ordering fun salads at different restaurants we go to and I always find myself loving the salads with fruit in them the most. I'll usually make a mental note or even jot down ingredients in ...
IKEA’s RITVA Curtains in Our Open-Concept Living Room
The story of these curtains is way longer than it should be. Go to store, buy curtains, install. I wish. It all started when I saw my friend Leslie's home for the first time. She has the most gorgeous home (she should seriously become an interior designer) and I saw her curtains and I told her how much I loved them. To my surprise, she told me ...
Our Weekend…
A couple of months ago I saw Marissa's new haircut and I just loved it. It prompted me to message her to find out who cut her hair. It turns out that her stylist is someone I've actually known for years--- she was a fellow stylist and friend of my old hairdresser, David (who now lives in Italy), so I used to see her every time I went in! I even ...
IKEA Hack: LÄTT Playtable & Chairs
Today I'm sharing a super simple IKEA hack! I always wanted to get a play table and chairs for Harper and actually bought this LATT children's table months ago but didn't get around to painting it until now. I had seen a ton of LATT hacks on Pinterest and I really wanted to create a play table that was bright and cheery. I ended up using a ...
Halloween At Home
Harper is too young right now to notice or care that we decorate for holidays, but I've always loved to add a holiday touch to our home and as Harper grows I want every holiday to look and feel festive (because that's part of the fun!) Here are a few touches I've added to our home's decor for Halloween. I'd still like to get a few more ...
Living Room Updates
I haven't done a home decor post in awhile---mainly because I can never get it clean enough to be photographed! Our living room has become a collection of normal living room things and baby toys/containment devices (lol!) everywhere. Literally. Everywhere. I'm eating my words and laughing at my assertion, before I had a baby, that I "would ...
Recent Purchases…
White towels from Marshall's Home Goods---$7.99 each! We pretty much only use white towels at home and some of ours were getting ratty so it was time for a couple of new ones. Ikat Polka-Dot pillow case from Etsy shop Fighting for Joy. I'm slowly updating some of our couch pillows because I got kind of tired of seeing the same ones for ...
Harper’s Nursery Reveal!
When we found out we were expecting, I was so excited to get started on the nursery. Even before I knew if we were having a boy or girl, I knew I wanted a very calm, neutral and serene space. I wanted lots of pops of white to make the room feel crisp and airy. I'm really happy with how Harper's room turned out and I can't wait to share it ...
