The excitement of drywall was actually lost on me. My parents did a lot of renovations and builds growing up so I didn’t have a problem picturing the walls when we just had studs. But it is progress and I know there are a lot of exciting moments right around the corner. Cabinets will … More Drywall!
We had our pre drywall meeting on May 5th. It mostly consisted of a walk through and making sure the electrical was correctly placed. We discovered we somehow missed putting a light rough-in in the front study space…which meant no chandelier for me:( …thinking maybe we can rob Peter to pay Paul…sorry loft!

The Pre-construction meeting was quick and somewhat painless. Somewhat. Eric was great, seemed very attentive and on the ball. I was faced with … More Pre-Construction
So I finally ordered a Trunk from Trunk Club for Women. I did Stitch fix a couple times this past Fall, the first was great, the second was a major fail. Trunk Club is basically like Stitch Fix on steroids. The company is owned by Nordstrom so you know you’re getting quality merchandise. There is … More Trunk Club Review
Back in NC Costco and SAMs were the only option for warehouse stores. Costco was an easy win, and I loved shopping there.

We recently made a move from Coastal North Carolina to a suburb of Baltimore. While the area seems very fun and exciting, I would be lying if I said I won’t always miss the beach. D is so excited about the many professional sporting teams in the area. Not only does Baltimore offer football and baseball … More Building a new Life
One of the great things about being a mom is spending all your money on tiny articles of clothing that will only be worn a few times before being outgrown or stained beyond wearability. Just kidding, buying unusually expensive kid clothes actually sucks. However, it seems to be mom trend, spending more money and time … More Rent The Runway
