Big Girl Room
So, we are finally transitioning Ellie out of her crib. Yes, we’ve drug our heels on this, because she has never been a great sleeper, and we were scared. (We are still scared.) But, the time has come where it’s starting to get a little weird, so here we are, selecting the pieces for her…

Summer Wishlist
The official start of summer is in a few days, but let’s face it. Summer has been here for a few weeks already, so it’s time to get my annual wishlist in order. Don’t you think? Here’s what I’m looking forward to this season: 1. Tomatoes. Lots of home-grown juicy tomatoes, stacked with mozzarella or…

A Gardening Party
This year, we threw a small party for Ellie with a few friends and family. It was a lot of fun. There were bubbles. We went for a gardening party theme, since Ellie loves few things more than digging around outside. I used this chevron runner from Paper Source that is a longtime favorite. The…

Our New Nest
This has nothing to do with our new house, but I had to show you Ellie’s “mad face.” It’s pretty good, right? Where to start? Our new house is coming together, but I have a running list of updates that need to be made streaming through my brain at all times. It goes something like…

Lately
Don’t let this serene photo fool you. Things have been nuts around here. Moving and selling your house is not for the faint of heart, but we’re starting to get settled. So, soon, it will be like this. Maybe. The house next to our is empty right now. A local developer will be flipping it…

Moving & a Break
This photo was taken at our new home. In it, Ellie is giving her baby Sweetie a kiss. Over the next few days, we will be moving and settling into our new house, so I will be taking a short break from the blog. As we move furniture and hang curtains, I’ll be snapping photos on…

8 Years
Twelve years ago, one of my oldest friends got married. She had wanted to set me up with her husband’s brother for a year or two, but we never crossed paths until their rehearsal dinner. When we met, I thought he was pretty boring. He asked me about a million serious questions: where I wanted to…

Explore: Paper Marbling
Photo via Honestly WTF While I’d like to pretend I’ll be marbling paper this weekend, I will instead be exploring how many boxes it takes to pack all of our treasures. My guess is the number is higher than I’d like it be. However you won’t be packing (at least, I don’t think you will be),…

Now, Our House
Yesterday, I shared how the house looked when we bought it. Today, I’ve got photos of how it appears now. In the spirit of full disclosure, it looks a lot barer here than it normally would. We had to remove all personal photos when we put the house on the market, but this should give you…

Then, Our House
Nine years ago, a newly engaged couple went house hunting. They looked at home after home until they found one that no one in their right mind would want. But, they saw something in it and immediately fell in love. And slowly, they made their mark, lovingly updating each room. But, before that, it was…
