Plan A Gifting Scavenger Hunt
As you probably know by now, thanks to Tuesday's blog post and all of the birthday festivities captured on our Intstagram, this week I turned 27. A few of you have asked what Chris got me for my birthday, but before we get into that--let me show you how he gave me my gifts. Because […]

Holiday Happs and a Cheese and Crackers "World Record"
Yesterday, we made the trip north to be with our families for Thanksgiving and we are already diving into food and full-on relaxing. We have so much to be thankful for and we wouldn't want to be anywhere else today. Here's hoping you are with someone you love today, counting our blessings just like we […]

Princess Panties
I guess you can only say, "This is the last box of diapers we're buying" so many times before you find yourself with no diapers and no excuses to postpone the inevitable any longer. It has been a trying couple of days, but potty training our girl, we are. And to save Greta from any […]

Christmas Budgets
Well, this week isn't going exactly as I planned. I had hopes of adding a lot more paintings to our shop and sneaking in a few more blog posts while we celebrate our anniversary this week, but I have been down for the count. My body is not reacting the best to my new medication […]

Buzzes and Crashes. Happy Weekend!
What a 24 hours it has been! Yesterday, after a month of multiple blood tests, and hitting our 2-year mark for infertility, I met with my doctor to go over all of my labs. The problem jumped off the paper and I was diagnosed with hypothyroidism. It explains more than just our inability to give […]

Some Pumpkin Carving Comic Relief
It is pumpkin carving season (!!!) and over the last few weeks--but even more so in the past week--I have been seeing all of these beautifully carved, gilded, painted, shaved pumpkins on my favorite blogs or plastered on Pinterest. Spoiler alert--my pumpkin is no such beauty. Last weekend, we had some friends over for dinner […]

When Family Trumps Projects
Well, we tried to have a reveal for you today. Kind of. I spent the whole day yesterday sanding and painting our old vanity to bring it up to par with the rest of the room, but around 3 pm, the paint started acting weird and peeling and it wasn't looking the greatest. Chris suggested […]

A Breath and A Break.
Maybe you noticed I didn't post yesterday. (Maybe you didn't! Ha!) Some things have come up and I just need to take a deep breath and a break. So can we just make a date for Monday? Same time, same place? I hope so. See you in a few days, friends.

Truth Tuesday. I'm Not Who I Used To Be.
You know what is one of the best things about owning a home? Decorating it and painting the walls however you want. But let me warn you, if you are anything like us, you might think you love something because you liked how it looked in a picture or magazine--so you do it! And you […]

Weekend Teasers
Over here, we had a goo-od weekend. We worked on a few projects for the house and had an afternoon date that extended late into the evening on Saturday where we shopped and ate and just spent time together while Greta had the time of her life at a harvest festival with our neighbor, who […]

Truth Tuesday: A September Love Letter
We recently decided to dedicate some Tuesdays (when I remember) to the idea of exposing our home and of our lives in a truer light. Chris and I didn't have one of those whirlwind romances that resulted in an engagement 4 months later. We were friends for a long time. Friends that went on a […]

If Chris Could Do It Again
Hey everyone! I am busy in the studio today (with Greta girl by my side) getting ready for the big launch tomorrow. Ten new 16x20 flats will hit the shop. Woot! Lots of work. Lots of fun, too. Fortunately, Chris is taking the blogging reigns today and spilling what he would look for if we […]

Our Wicked Weekend.
My parents are really good at planning a "retreat" once every quarter. Us? Well, our last getaway was a year and a half ago (you can read about it here). So yesterday, since Chris got tickets for us to see Wicked, we felt like it was the perfect excuse to make a weekend of it...err, […]
