Matt and I aren’t so great at getting gifts for each other for any holiday other than Christmas…although this year I did, at least, order him a gift for Father’s Day from Amazon (though it didn’t come in time for him to open it today…sad day…). And because we’re basically poor from having just bought …
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.

Three and a half years ago, I wrote a post all about how my feelings were finally starting to change around the whole idea of motherhood. In that post, I alluded to the fact that I’d never been baby hungry, and that though I knew that I eventually wanted to be a mom, I was …
5 Products that Surprisingly Make My Life Better
If you know me at all, you know I’m not one to push consumerism—I’m all for the old adage to “Use it up, wear it out, make it do, or do without.” On most days, my goal is to spend absolutely nothing, so I’m not one to really seek out new products or to find …
Not to Brag, But I’ve Kinda Been Killin’ It Lately
It’s no secret that we had a really rough start to our year—already by the end of March, we’d dealt with death and illness and loss and tragedy, and there was a point around the beginning of April where I was so beset with anxiety over what was lurking around the corner for us …
Why I’m Scared to Take a Blogging Break
You may or may not have noticed that I haven’t been blogging as much as I was before. (In case you need a breakdown of my “usual” blogging schedule, I usually blog on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday, which equates to around 12 times a month). By any standard of regular blogging, 12 times a month …
