(Picture from when I was pregnant with Raven) I feel like I need to start off this post with a whole bunch of disclaimers: I’m not sure I’ll even publish this. I know I have nothing to complain about compared to many women who so desperately want a child and don’t even have …
10 on 10 (Half-in-Black-and-White Edition)
A lot has happened over the last month (and it shows in these pictures, which are a little all over the place). Such can only be expected when one of the events of the past 30 days involved moving to another town. Here we go: 1 // Eatin’ grilled cheese (“cheesy toast”) for lunch in …
How I’ve Already Read 36 Books This Year
First, a caveat– How many books a person reads in a year (or thinks she can read in a year) varies dramatically, so while for some people, 36 books in six months will seem a small number, for others, that number seems so huge that this post is exhausting you even to read about it. …
The Year is Half Over…Time to Check In

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. For one, it’s our first time moving into an actual house. For two, moves are a lot harder once you’re married and …
12 Things on Our Summer Bucket List
Even though moving (and everything that goes along with it) is foremost in our minds at the moment, I’ve still been trying to plan out some fun things we can look forward to this summer so it won’t just be house-house-house all the time (which is kind of what it feels like right now). After …
