Thank you Walmart for sponsoring this post! We have been at home since March 14, with both Kevin and I working remotely and the kids being out of school. Needless to say, this has changed our day-to-day routines quite significantly and I've been wanting to share what our new normal looks like now that we've settled into this new reality. I've ...
Our New Home: What I Wish I’d Changed, Six Months Later
I have been so thrilled with the level of customization we got to do in our new home. From the built-ins in our game room to the shoe closet, to making our kitchen island larger and bringing cabinets to the ceiling, we truly got to create a home we love. Now that we have lived in our home for six months (!!!), I thought it would be fun to ...
Our New Curtains
We had curtains installed in our bedrooms yesterday and I'm delighted with how they turned out! Our home has 9ft ceilings throughout the upstairs, so we went with 108 inch curtains and had the hardware hung as close to the ceiling as possible, which was easier to do since we don't have crown moulding. By the way, there is a blog post all about ...

Friday Five
I haven’t done a Friday Five in a while, so here we go! PATIO RUG UPDATE Well, I’m still on the hunt for a rug for our patio. When we got this rug in from Overstock last week, the color looked completely off to me (I ordered the blue/beige). I thought it would be light blue like the photo online, but when it came in, it was more of a ...
My Fitness Journey, A Decade Later
It feels like everyone, everywhere is exercising at home right now out of necessity, but I think the shift to working out at home will have longevity (Peloton's sales are increasing, for example). Streaming workout platforms are convenient and cost-effective and I've found that consistency is more easily achieved when there are less barriers ...

The Best Shower Speaker for Podcasts, Audiobooks & Music
I purchased a shower speaker last July so I could listen to podcasts and audiobooks while I did my longer night time routine (AKA the nights I wash my hair) but I find myself using it every night now (I always take a shower before bed). I love listening to a book or podcast as I shower, do my skincare routine and wind down for the night, so this ...
