Well, we survived our second move of the year (and hopefully our last move for a good, long while!). And, in all actuality, it really went as smoothly as a move can go, honestly — we had a lot of help on both ends, everything fit into the moving van and other vehicles (unlike last …
$100 Bathroom Makeover (with Before/After Pics)
Remember when we moved into our new house a year and a half ago, and for the first few months, I did all sorts of fun house update posts? And then remember how it’s been radio silence ever since?? REMEMBER THAT?! I have six words for you: No time. No money. No energy. Or just …
One Year in Our New House (+ 8 Things I’ve Learned as a New Homeowner)

Our Front Living Room Mid-Process (+ Before/After Pics)
One thing you will quickly notice from any of our house pictures is that, first and foremost, an interior designer I am not.

Proof I Haven’t Totally Given Up On Working Outside Until September
The other day while at a neighborhood activity, I made the comment to someone that I was impressed with her dedication to her yard (since she goes out every day to work on it) and that I had basically given up on the idea of doing any work outside until September due to the heat. …
