One of our big 'before and after' projects for our Modern Farmhouse, was adding an outdoor living space, on what was a previously completely UNDER-utilized patio. This was a relatively big undertaking, but one that came with a major upgrade to the way that we now get to enjoy our home, and where we live. You will find us outside, BBQ'ing, playing in the park, sharpening our tennis skills and catching up with all of the neighbors headed to the beach pretty much every day that ...
How To Be Content As a Mom
One of the dumbest parts about being a mom in today’s American society is the notion that you can achieve it all. This is a big fat lie, and one I have fallen prey to too many times to count.

Even though not much has changed in my circumstances, a new spirit and a new perspective has been born. To quickly recap, I have been on a journey for the last eight years to find purpose and life in the everyday monotony of raising little kids. A job that I prayed for desperately, but had no idea that I wouldn't be very good at, or mentally prepared for the roller coaster of. No ...
La Croix is Life
I know that you will be my people if you agree that La Croix is life. Lime, Coconut, Cran-Raspberry, Cucumber, with a splash a vodka - all of it is literal life. Come 3pm on the daily, I crave those bubbles. And apparently I'm raising fancy kids who now also crave sparkling water to accompany their every meal. This is an example of a blockquote.
