TGI-Friday: Three Months With Our Girl

It’s been a while since I’ve shared a TGI-Friday, but they’re still one of my favorite posts to write. They always give a more personal look into our lives and I enjoy sharing fun things I’ve ran across and what we’ve been busy working on. And boy have we been busy! I blinked, and our […]

They’re a bit random, but they’re full of so many good things, including my favorite new finds and behind the scenes things we’ve been working on, or upcoming projects we’ll be starting.  Lately, […]

TGI-Friday: Our New Christmas Tree, Fun Holiday Baking Items, A Great Winter Coat, & More!

Yesterday I decided to put up our new Christmas tree! It arrived a few days before that, and I was torn on when I wanted to put it up since it’s a little bit earlier than normal. Excitement to see what it looked like got the best of me and, well, it’s now standing tall […]

TGI-Friday: Decorating For Christmas & More

Happy Friday! These past few mornings we’ve woken up to snow on the ground, making things feel a lot more like Christmas, and less like fall. The cold has definitely arrived, and I’ve been enjoying watching the snow blow around and shine in the sunlight.  I’m really excited about decorating for Christmas this year. Last […]

TGI-FRIDAY: A Home Office Update & So Much More

It’s time for another TGI-Friday, and this week I’m including a home office update. Honestly, since we’ve been knee deep in exterior projects, we haven’t made a ton of progress, but that’s about to change! A little while back, I shared the design plan for the office. We’ve been buying several of the items, and […]

TGI-Friday: Our Weekend Trip To Denver & What We Bought At Ikea

Like I mentioned in our laundry room update post this week, we set out on a quick trip to Ikea a few weekends ago, and decided to spend some much needed “down time” in Denver while we were visiting. Even though we’ve both lived there (ages ago), we’d never really stayed downtown and took in […]

Remember when I shared TGI-Friday in the past? I know it’s been a little while, but I really like the idea of sharing some behind the scenes peeks, as well as new things I find and love. It’s a random post, but it’s real and full of good stuff! In house news, we’ve been spending […]
