A Messy House Update

Let me just start off by saying, this was not the way I had planned or hoped for these posts to turn out. I wanted to document this process, so anyone that was going through it would have some sort of an idea on what to expect for decisions, timeline, etc. However, our situation has […]

NC Custom Home update!

To say this is a long process… would be an understatement. We’re finding that building a fully custom home is different than building a home in a planned community. Starting off from the last point… our architect, as always, got back our changes pretty quickly. If anyone is hoping to work with Frusterio, I HIGHLY […]

When will it come…

I wish I was writing from a dirt filled lot that had a foundation started, but sadly, that is not the case. We thought we would be breaking ground the last week of March. The builder said after closing, they would submit for permits, which takes about two weeks, and after that we’d be on […]

We’re officially closed!

Where to start… I had to go back to my last post to see where we had left off! Ok, so the septic… all of the testing came back good. We didn’t need the fancy system ($$$) hallelujah. However, we weren’t thrilled with how much of our yard was being consumed for the septic tanks […]

Holiday Home Tour 2017

I am such a sucker for Christmas decor. We don’t really decorate for any of the other holidays. I typically do a “spring” and “fall” switch up of decor, but that’s about it. For Christmas, however, we go all out. Seeing as we moved into a larger house this year, it felt like I was […]

Minimalist Neutral Fall Decor

I debated posting this, because I feel like I have shown so many little pieces of our fall decor on my IG feed, but this is a good place to have it all together for anyone that wants inspiration all in one place! I have wanted a letter board forever. I had originally collaborated with a […]

Fall Favorites. Our 10 Go-To Dinners.

I don’t love cooking. I liked it more, once upon a time, when I didn’t have children nagging me and pulling at my shirt. Now, it’s just a hassle. I especially don’t love cooking in the summer when it’s so dang hot here in the South! So, when fall comes around, I’m all about the […]
