We meet with the builder next week!! It’s been a year and a half since we last met with them, and we’ll finally go over our design and work on getting estimates so we can start building next year. We’re so excited! We think our plan is perfect, and it’s just a matter of making…

I’m already living the Christmas vibes, so it should be no surprise that I’m rounding up my fall favorites in early November! I haven’t done much shopping in the last couple months, so quite a few of my favorites are budget-friendly or free! Limiting non-productive scrolling I’m not sure when I tried limiting my scrolling,…

There is nothing more satisfying when buying something new than when your purchase lives up to its expectations! I wanted to give these two bags from BEIS a review since it’s a brand heavily promoted on Instagram, and we’re all out here trying to not get influenced in the wrong direction. I will start with…

This past week I’ve made it my goal to get back to using Sketchup because we should be meeting with the builder this month! We reread our email, and they did say early November, so it could be any day now… Plus, this software is over $300 each year, so I better make sure I’m…

Brandon and I both work from home, so a home office that we enjoy is very important when you think about how much time we spend in there. Currently we have a small, windowless office in an otherwise unused basement. Ideally our new home office would have lots of light, be close to the kitchen…

On July 22, 2023, I married my husband Brandon! We had a fairly low stress wedding, and the simplicity made it so easy to enjoy the weekend with family and friends. We had a clear vision of what we wanted while planning our wedding, and I’d like to share how we did that for any…

Today’s post will be a double life update, with announcing a baby girl due next spring and the fact that my belongings + car were stolen from a hotel a few weeks ago! My bag and keys were taken within a few hours of leaving our hotel room (locked!) and my car thankfully has since…

Hello all! I decided to fiddle around with some bathroom ideas because our secondary/guest bathrooms still feel up in the air a bit! We’re hoping to keep them budget friendly, but until we know our numbers and what things cost, we might as well dream up some ideas! I’m hoping that we can splurge on…
