Sorry for ghosting you (again)! When I finished up work in June, I had every intention to start blogging weekly. But then we bought a house! A friend’s neighbor unexpectedly took a job out of state; we decided to make an off-market offer thinking they probably wouldn’t accept and would want to take it to the market with the craziness of real estate these days. But they accepted and here we are. We listed our house a few weeks later…

How was your weekend? This week is dragging slowly because Emerson is sick and Matt is traveling. But, we had a wonderful weekend with some incredible fall-like weather! We had our porch screen in last week and we spent a ton of time outside enjoying the space over the weekend. At one point we even had to bring blankets outside because it was so cold! I am in love with the porch and am sooo happy we did it. We…
I’m nesting like crazy over here. It’s more intense this time around because: We haven’t been in our house that long and there are still a bunch of things I want to work on Emerson was in camp for 3 weeks this summer and I felt like I had to accomplish all.the.things during those 3 weeks. I want to spend some good quality one-on-one time with her in August rather than be running to Homegoods and such. Having one baby…
I guess we are really in the dog days of summer? This week looks like a hot one – it’s really not that much cooler than Dallas here, and with the added humidity, I’m basically not going outside right now. Good thing we had tons to do around the house this weekend, because we were inside for most of it! We checked soo many things off the to-do list, including mulching our front beds (we need like 2 more bags!),…
I shared our first floor last month, and wanted to show you the rest of the house. We haven’t made as much progress upstairs, and although there’s lots I’d like to work on, buying nursery furniture/decor will take up the rest of this year’s house budget. Couch from West Elm / Kitchen from PB Kids/ Table from Skip Hop / Rug from PB Kids (similar) One of the things we loved about this house is the play area that’s at…
Welcome to my house! I can’t believe we’ve only lived here for 3 months – it feels so much like home. My neighborhood is the kind of community I’ve always dreamed of, and I’m so happy we stumbled upon this house (it’s not in a neighborhood we were originally targeting). Plus, Emerson is absolutely thrilled to have a yard and is glowing ear-to-ear whenever she plays outside. We’ve made a lot of progress in getting the house set up, but…
This past week has been a true whirlwind with so many ups and downs! The good news is we are finally feeling settled and love our house and neighborhood! Our travel went smoothly and our truck arrived early in our delivery window. We’ve had some hiccups with the house (plumbing, heating, outdoor flooding) which was a rude reminder that home ownership is no piece of cake. I think it’s worth it though, and I have to pinch myself when I…
