I Have a Problem Finishing Things + The Book That Changed Everything

First off, I should clarify—I don’t have a problem finishing ALL things. For example, I have no problem finishing books. Or an entire bag of Costco-sized Hershey’s kisses by myself. Or following through on commitments I’ve made to people (usually). No…what I DO have a problem finishing, however, is anything to do with tidiness or …

Reasons I Already Love Living in a House vs. an Apartment (+ a few drawbacks)

  I know we’ve only lived in our new house for a grand total of about 72 hours, but there are already sooooo many things I’m loving about living in a house vs. living in an apartment. It’s funny, because Matt and I had not planned on buying a home this early on—we’d planned to …

The Best Moving Tip I Ever Got

    Well, it’s almost here—The Big Move is TOMORROW. Kind of crazy. Although I’m no stranger to moving (I’ve moved over 15 times since graduating high school), this move feels more momentous.

Aaaaand…We’re Officially Homeowners!

Well, it’s official—as of this afternoon, we legitimately are the actual and legal owners of something other than a car. It will still be a couple weeks before we actually move everything in, but we’re pretty darn excited (in case you couldn’t tell!). The main reason why we’re not moving in right away is that …

Trying Not to Stink at Waiting…and Failing.

On a scale of one to Freaking Out, I am currently at “out-of-my-mind-and-making-cookies-all-the-time” (which, for the record, registers somewhere around an 8.2). You see, we were supposed to close on our new house last Friday. Then we were supposed to close again today at 4:00. And… It’s looking like that won’t happen either (although it …

Are We Still Pretending This is Actually Just 10 on 10?

(Because you all should know by now I’m incapable of narrowing it down to just 10 pictures.) 1 // Yogurt face. Also, I live with two people with ridiculous eyelashes. That’s all. 2 // The obsession with dandelions continues. 3 // We started pulling back all of her hair into a ponytail for the first …
