Rather than creating a bunch of gift guides this year, I thought I would be more like Oprah (minus the whole holiday show where you get the free things - but man that would be FUN) and list my favorite buys and finds from this year. There's something for just about everyone and at every… Continue reading favorite things – 2020
True story - I would have to get out of the car before Andrew pulled into his side of the garage because the space was so tight you couldn't open the car door. When we first moved into our house the garage was the last thing we thought about. We just threw things up on… Continue reading a giant peg board & now finished garage
If you've been following us, you know that we are not DIYers and we don't pretend to be either. It comes with good reason. We bought our house ten years ago, tried all of that in year one and two and soon realized that it was SO much easier for us to save up and… Continue reading laundry room plans (& mood board)

As someone who works in healthcare, I love seeing alternate ways people are seeking care and treatment for what is happening to them. I also loved that they had the expert paired with the researcher. It definitely helps… Continue reading almost friday
I will be completely honest with you. This post is more for me than anyone.

I love all the red, pink and heart things that make up Valentine's Day. Below is a fun round up of decorations, things to wear to help celebrate, cards and gifts for loved ones or your best gal pals. (I personally love the pink pencils with Lizzo quotes on them.)
Our replacement slip cover for the pink couch arrived this week and guess what? -- it doesn't match the couch cushions now! Even though it's supposed to be the same fabric, it definitely was not cut from the same batch and now we have a two-toned couch. I have been working with this company since… Continue reading almost friday
