Happy Halloween!
Just popping in quick to say Happy Halloween! Today, I have a few random shots from around our house that I thought I would share for the occasion. I am off this morning to volunteer as a class helper for Owen’s Halloween party, then watching both older kids participate in the school parade. Then of course gearing up for lots of fun after school when we get ready to go out trick-or-treating. The kids are so excited to go trick-or-treating around our new neighborhood, and are sure they are going to get tons of candy ugh. I’m sure I’ll share a pic or two on Instagram or Facebook if you are interested to see…

Choosing Boy’s Bedroom Furniture
Thank you to Raymour & Flanigan for providing the furniture in this space. All expressed opinions are 100% my own. Full Disclosure. Last Friday, I shared with you guys Hazel’s bedroom transformation, and as promised, today I am showing off Owen’s! He just turned five at the end of September and loves all things red, Ninja Turtles, and superheroes. He has never had his own room, until our move to our new home over the summer. The transition was rough the first few months, since he was afraid to be on his own at night, but with the help of some new furniture, and doing up his room with his favorites, that…

Choosing Girl’s Bedroom Furniture
Thank you to Raymour & Flanigan for providing the furniture in this space. All expressed opinions are 100% my own. Full Disclosure. I am so excited to share with you the progress we have made in Hazel’s bedroom today! If you don’t know, we just moved to our new four bedroom home at the end of July after living in a two bedroom for seven years. Hazel is six and in first grade, and has shared a room with her younger brother, Owen, since they were toddlers. I have been anxiously waiting to make her girly dreams come true for her new room. Both kids had been sharing Hazel’s room…

Ten Months with Baby Violet
It’s hard to believe that almost a year has passed since our little Violet Isla was born, but November 12th will be here before we know it. This little lady has brought so much joy and happiness to our lives. I can still remember the day when I heard Hazel wish on a dandelion that “Mommy and Daddy would have a baby.” I remind her of that now and how little Violet is her wish come true. She definitely agrees. We all do. Maybe it’s because I was a month shy of 35 when I had her, or that my other two were four and five years old, and not…

Settling into Our New Home
So we are here! We officially closed on our house and have been living here for almost a month now. Hard to believe. It has been an adjustment for all of us, but overall a positive one. Changes are hard even if they are good changes. We are still living with boxes all around and figuring out where to put our belongings but that is part of the excitement of moving to a new home. Finding a new place for everything. I might actually be pretty slow at it compared to most, or maybe the build up of packing, staging, selling and moving left me burnt out and now I…

Packing Up a House Full of Memories
I knew it would feel like the blink of an eye and the time to move would be here. And now it has arrived. We officially moved out of our home this week and the new owner was given the keys yesterday. I was feeling all sorts of emotions as we went through this process and our home got emptier and emptier. We are currently housesitting for my cousin as we have waited for the closing day on our new home. We finally get to move in this weekend! Since my desktop computer is packed away, I only have access to our laptop and previous blog photos, so today I…
