I’m obsessed with driftwood. I admit it. I have made a lot of driftwood home decor accents that are strewn around our home. But one that I love is the what I call a “burst” I hung in our sunroom that we are renovating. There was a space toward the ceiling that was screaming…put something …
My parents are fantastic. Every time they take the 4.5 hour journey to come visit us, I immediately take out my Master List on what projects I would like to work on while they are here. Either it’s for them to help me, or just to watch the little guy while I finish a project. …

When we started house hunting I knew I didn’t want a Raised Ranch or some of you call it a split entry. But that is what we got and I had to make the most of it. At the top of the stairs was a typical raised ranch iron railing. I hated it. I felt …
One of the reasons we bought this house was an amazing sunroom off of the kitchen/dining room. But it looked like it was out of an 90’s issue of DIY Home, especially the ceiling fan. So as I was priming the walls and a beam in the ceiling I realized if I wanted to update …
Are you excited!? That was one of the first things people would ask me when I mentioned that Henry’s surgery was coming up. How do I answer…am I excited about no more NAM and taping everyday? Yes. Am I excited that my son will be put through a 7.5 hour surgery, have a “three” week …
When Henry was born he was taken to the Nursery for monitoring because his heart rate would speed up and then drop. We were told by our cleft team that many hospitals would always just take cleft babies into the NICU. The cleft team was very adamant that if the only reason the baby was …
At my routine 36 week appointment with my doctor she decided to break the news that I was 2cm dilated and 50% effaced. Henry was definitely not going to make to my due date of October 22nd. He would come anytime… Of course this was the “Oh shit this is real” moment for me! So …
