I worked in an office for 11 years before starting to work from home. And whoa, it was an adjustment for me. Being at home taught me a little life lesson in how to be productive throughout the day. I personally loved the social buzz that’s at any office. Water cooler chatter? Give it to […]
We’ve been in an unprecedented quarantine for what, six weeks now? I’ve been craving new ways to keep things normal and even special, all while social distancing. Back in February, when this pandemic was a mere twinkle in our eye, I went to an all-day event hosted by MacKenzie-Childs, where we learned about the brand, […]
These are trying times. So trying that I’m sharing a review of the Bissell steam mop here on the blog (but honestly, I received so many messages about it, I feel like it’s my civic duty now!). We’re all home SO MUCH. And I think some would think, “my house will be so clean because […]

It’s been awhile since I shared what we’ve done, what we haven’t done, what’s been delayed and what’s sprung up in terms of our home renovations. Well, folks, today is the day. And I’ll tell you–I have an ambitious summer ahead. What We’ve Done (In Order): Pre-move in (paint the molding, re-stain the floors, skim […]
It’s here! Behold: our long-awaited master bathroom renovation reveal. Join me for a good before and after along with what we learned during the process. We have never done home renovations so this has been quite the journey for us…and I have to say–I can see how people say it’s addicting. What did we do? […]
