Hi Friends! Every year, before we start planning for the new year, I like to pause and look back at the year we've just had. One of my favorite reasons in looking back, is I'm reminded of all the progress we have made in and around our house. I vowed to myself when we moved here that I would take my time to savor each transformation, but sometimes I grow impatient with "taking my time", longing to see more results, faster. Reflecting helps me appreciate all the time and energy I did put in last year, while also giving me fresh motivation for the year ahead. Come and see ~ ... Read More about 2024 Recap

Dining Room Progress
Hello Friends!! I can't believe that we have been in our new home for six months now! I still get that pinch me feeling when I pull in our driveway, just in awe that this home is really ours. There are so many things that we love about being here, but I can honestly tell you for me it's not having to wonder anymore about what our forever home will be like. There is a deep sense of being rooted here, and knowing that this not a temporary home for our family, that gives me so much contentment I don't know if I can fully explain it. I mentioned in my Fall Home Tour that I needed to share more about the progress that has taken place in our dining room, so today I'm showing you just what we've ...

It has been a little while since I last posted, and that's because we took the plunge and tackled a few of our bigger projects here at our new home, so that we could finally start to unpack more and settle in.

Real Estate Photos vs. Blog Photos
Hello Friends!! Today I thought it would be fun to take a look at just how different real estate photos can be vs. the style of photos I take, or magazines take to share our home. It's always so funny to me that pictures showing the same room can look so different. As we got closer to putting our house on the market, the one thing I kept wondering about was how the real estate listing photos would look, and would they really be that different from the photos I take and share of our home. Come and take a look ~ ... Read More about Real Estate Photos vs. Blog Photos
Easy Classic Thanksgiving Stuffing
So the comedy in sharing this recipe with you all today is that I have actually never like stuffing before in my life - until NOW! It's true I tell you, up until earlier this year when I made this recipe for the first time, I have never before in my life liked stuffing. When I was in high school, I thought maybe my taste buds had matured enough, that all those thanksgivings as a kid, trying bites of stuffing that I did not like would finally have trained my taste buds to like it - nope! I should put this disclaimer out there, that I am not a picky eater. Yet here I was well into my 30's still not liking stuffing. In fact if you asked me what was my least favorite food, stuffing would have ... Read More about Easy Classic Thanksgiving Stuffing
