Ok, you’ve asked for it on Instagram, so here I (Mike) am with a birthday (happy 33rd to me) update on a project I’ve been working on for the past 15 months. I intentionally split up this project into 2 phases for sanity’s sake because planning a wedding and actually trying to get anything else …
As we mentioned in Part 1, Mike and I spent 5 days visiting my Auntie Gwen in Washington. We flew into Seattle and then took the ferry over to Bainbridge Island, which is where she lives. We don’t get to see her often, so we had the best time getting to spend so much time …
Vacation. Ah, the week each year that you get to relax and enjoy and (hopefully) unplug from the everyday. This may have been our favorite vacation yet. Which I guess isn’t saying too much since we’ve only known each other for a little under 3 years. But still. It was amazing. We’ve been pretty silent …
My dad has been an incredible influence in my life. It wasn’t that he knew all the answers, or that he was the best at all things – he’s imperfect just like all parents. What’s made him so influential in my life is his presence. My dad started his own business over 35 years ago. …

Since I was about 12 years old, I’ve loved to decorate and plan out spaces. At that age, the only space I could really call “mine” was my bedroom. I vividly remember my sports-themed room with navy blue and hunter green curtains that my Gram sewed for me. After that was my garden-themed bedroom with …
A few weeks ago I shared with you that we were on the hunt for new planters for our front porch. I even shared 12 of my favorites with prices ranging from a small budget to a bigger budget (I like to call it “Simple, Savvy, or Splurge”). If you’re in the market for a …
Memorial Day On a weekend so many of us see as shopping sales and parties, we know this is a day that so many of you are missing your loved ones. Remembering the men and women who sacrificed for us and the families that are missing them. Thank you. Joshua Bible Study On Saturday, we …
A few weeks ago, Mike and I hosted a yard sale with a few of our neighbors! It was a lot of work, but so worth the time. The things in our garage were piling up so much that we could only fit one car in it! So we began “Operation Get Mike’s Car Back …
