Losing Lucky | What Losing Our Furry Best Friend Taught Me

Eleven years ago, when we were just twenty years old, David had moved from a dorm room in college to his very own one bedroom apartment. It didn’t take long for loneliness to set in and my then boyfriend needed some company. So, January 2007, we went to PetSmart while I was in town visiting […]

Fall Decor | 2017

When we put in the offer on our home a year ago this week, the anticipation of our first Autumn in our new home was pretty great. I couldn’t wait to get out my little orange bin full of decor and kick back with a warm cup of cider in an owl mug. Finding an […]

Today I’m thankful for actually getting chores done around the house, organizing, watching Gilmore Girls with David, and enjoying a few cups of coffee with him, too.

Thankful Challenge Day 19 | 2016

Today’s thankful wont make total sense for about a week to you guys, since I have to be a little vague. But David and I went to Target today to cross some things off our to-do list for our next project we’ve been working on! And because of course Target has nearly anything you’d need […]
