The One Room Challenge is kicking off this week, which means there will be a lot of fun projects to watch and follow, but I thought I would share some of my favorite accounts that have some projects to watch right now, projects that are about to start or accounts that are constantly working on… Continue reading almost friday: five projects to watch on instagram
Last year I had a giant lumbar pillow on our bed and then I moved it to the guest bedroom (below) and now I want it back! I really loved having that giant pillow to put behind our back. I bought one on clearance from Rejuvenation recently and am now just trying to figure out… Continue reading lumbar pillows
If you watched any of our stories last week/weekend on Instagram you will have noticed we were away for a friend's wedding in Pittsburgh. We've never been and was surprised that it was only a six hour drive for us, which meant it was on the border of being a bearable road trip. Anything past… Continue reading almost friday: pittsburgh recap

We have them strategically placed around our house to do just that - and to also make sure that we look like normal human beings before leaving the… Continue reading mirror roundup
As you may know from our Instagram, Andrew & I are coaching a youth flag football team this fall. We have seven, third and fourth graders on our team - all boys, even though girls were welcomed to join none of them did from our community. We had one girl sign up, but then when… Continue reading almost friday: a difficult practice
Honestly, the jury is still out on whether or not I like faux plants and trees in my house. Clearly I like them enough to have them, because we have a giant fiddle fig in our living room!
