Happy Friday! Our home is officially on the market and we have more than 40 back-to-back showings between today, tomorrow, and Sunday! I am bone-tired, nervous, and a little sad. It’s been a whirlwind of emotions, appointments, and tasks this week, but I’m hoping the house sells quickly and the new owners love it as …
I love the fresh start to a new year. I love a renewed enthusiasm for purposeful changes. And I love the energy that comes from creating new rhythms and healthy routines. It’s only been a few weeks, but one of the biggest changes I’ve made so far this year has been getting up much earlier …
Happy Friday! 1. House Prep It’s been a week of house prep over here! Our home is going on the market very soon and we’ve been so tied up with new house stuff that we’ve gotten a little behind with getting our current home market-ready! So while Matt’s been focused on project management for the …
Alright, I’m tackling one of the most requested post topics — new house project details! We’ve got several projects going on right now but I thought I would start with the kitchen renovation. Renovating the kitchen in our new home is one of the bigger projects we wanted to knock out before we move in. …
Today I’m sharing some of my favorite high protein foods! Over the past 6 months, I’ve been focusing on increasing my protein intake so I can hit some fitness and health goals. While it’s been surprisingly more difficult than I expected to hit my daily protein goal, it’s gotten easier as I’ve discovered some great …
I am so excited to see brighter colors rolling out on the Target shelves lately. I don’t know about you, but I am ready for shorter sleeves and spring weather! And I cannot believe Valentine’s Day is right around the corner! Let this be your reminder to grab your classroom Valentine’s Day cards NOW before …
Happy Friday! Before we get down to it, I want to say THANK YOU to everyone who took the time to leave me such great (and sweet) feedback on my Reader Survey! That truly means the world to me and I really do revisit that post throughout the year when I’m looking for content ideas. …
The very first thing I noticed when we toured our new home was “oh my gosh, there is so much wallpaper!” And I love wallpaper. Just not 35-year-old wallpaper that is barely still clinging to the walls — all of it is in really bad shape. So I thought it would be fun to share …
I published 208 posts in 2022 (49 posts more than 2021)! And since I’ve started blogging in 2011, I’ve published 1,793 posts! Isn’t that wild?! I am so grateful for all of you who read along here, share my blog with others, and continue to help build this community of ours!! As I continue working …
Optimizing our morning routine is something I’m focusing on right now in our home. Our routine was previously pretty good most days, but I’m excited to make it even better. I am almost always the first person up in our home, so I have the opportunity to set the vibe and create the rhythm for …
Happy first Friday of 2023! And before we dive in, I want to say THANK YOU for all the kind messages regarding our move! Y’all are seriously the best and I cannot tell you how much all of your emails, comments and DMs have meant to our family. THANK YOU. I can’t wait to share …
We have some big news to share… WE ARE MOVING! We are staying in Charlotte, but moving out to the suburbs. While I knew this move was in the cards at some point in our future, I definitely did not think Matt would get me to move out to his dream neighborhood this soon! As …
