So much has changed since we packed up all of our belongings and shoved them into a storage locker last June. G has a longer commute, I have a smaller closet, and G’s parents’ household has more than doubled in size. It’s been an adjustment for all of us, but no one has had to
Happy November, everyone! At some point THIS MONTH we’ll be moving into our new house! We’re not exactly sure which day it’s going to be, but we do know it will be before Thanksgiving. I can’t even wrap my mind around it! It’s been such a whirlwind few months and soon I’ll be snuggled up next to
I’m so in awe of this entire house building process. It seems like five minutes ago it was all just a patch of grass and a dream. And then trucks came in, did some digging, and poured the foundation that would anchor us to the Earth – in this spot – for the rest of our lives.
The votes were pretty much split across social media for the Stitch Fix poncho I shared earlier this week. It was so cute (and I’m a sucker for cable knit) but I’ve decided to send it back. A lot of you made some great points and in the end I think it was the lack of arm

With the shape of our lot, our garage needed to sit in front of our house and turned, giving our overall footprint more of an
You guys – I have a poncho problem. The first issue being that ever since I received this cable knit poncho in my latest Stitch Fix I’ve been walking around saying, “Nacho poncho!” Which then reminds me of a quote from the movie Saving Silverman that my sister Brittny and I have been giggling over
Have you guys seen the whole Vogue “73 Questions” thing on YouTube? They’re so interesting! Basically, Vogue gets a little camera crew and an interview guy, and they ask celebrities 73 rapid fire questions while they’re hanging out at their homes or on set getting ready for an appearance…that sort of thing. This is how I
Even though there are three levels to our house (basement, main floor, and upstairs) we consider it a “1 & 1/2 story” home because we chose to build on top of less than half of our main floor. A main floor master suite was a “must have” for G which brought our first floor up to 1,800 square
Next up on our new construction framing adventure – first floor interior walls! This was the point in our construction process when we could truly start to get a “real life” sense for our how main floor was going to be laid out and how it was going to feel. Our first floor is pretty much
