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 ...

Lately…
Lately, I've been feeling stressed out about our home. Nothing is wrong--- but I just feel like we need to (majorly) purge. We got rid of a ton (and I mean a ton) of stuff before we moved, but we've lived here almost a year now and I still feel the need to refine our spaces and belongings even more. I went down the Amazon rabbit hole and found ...
4th of July Weekend
Happy 4th, friends! What a week it has been. I ended up taking a five-day weekend since I came down with food poisoning and/or a stomach bug (I guess we'll never know) late during my work day on Wednesday. I woke up still feeling like I was hit by a bus on Thursday and had taken Friday off anyway, so it turned into quite a nice break (well, aside ...
Lately…
I hope you had a great week! Here's a wrap up of mine: O N E Pregnancy changes your body, face and hair. If you're me, it also changes your lashes. Something odd happens when I'm pregnant. I stop growing hair on my legs (literally only have to shave once a month, if that) and I start losing my eye lashes. They just get shorter and fall out more. ...
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, ...
Our Weekend…
Oh hey! It's 9 p.m. as I write this and both kids are (finally) asleep. Harper doesn't do naps on weekends often anymore and then she passes out on the living room floor before bedtime and wakes up and hour or so later in a mood that any parent of a nearly "threenager" can probably imagine. Harper and I spent some mommy/daughter time together on ...
Weekend Wrap-Up
If I could use one word to describe the past week, it's "tired." I caught a sinus infection (it's going around at work) and Kevin was out of town the entire week for a conference (thankfully my mother-in-law stayed with us to help out) and I was just barely making it through each day. We are going through a bit of the four month sleep regression ...
Our Weekend…
Our weekend was fun! Saturday Harper had Little Gym and we had friends over for a playdate. Sunday we put up curtains in Harper's room and Candice came over and we went and had our nails done which was much-needed as I hadn't had a pedicure since before Christmas (insert alarmed-face emoji here). Here's what else we're up to... O N E We are in ...
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 ...
Four Tips When You’re Building a New Home
Building a new home is an exciting (albeit stressful) experience, and with so many choices to make, it's easy to become overwhelmed. We had a pretty great experience building our new home, so I thought I would share some things I found to be helpful when going through the process. I will add the disclaimer that our builder was very flexible and ...
