Goalkeeping.
Update: My fiancé and I spoke at length after my last post and while I won’t get into specifics… I will say that he’s amazing. We’re moving forward, we’re growing. I may be taking the growing part a little too literal. Over a year ago, I wrote about wanting to change my body. For good.…

Bleh.
That’s how I’m feeling. I’m not sure if anyone still reads this, I’m too lazy to check stats. But if you happen upon this… can we talk? And by ‘we’ I mean ‘I.’ 2013 was eventful, for lack of a better word. I lost my mom. Got engaged. Turned thirty. All in one year. One…

Thou Shall Not Covet: Autumnal Goods
Taking a mental (and physical?) break from our little yard makeover. Plans are being made, things are getting purchased. Excitement. I’m also excited about Summer ending. Whaaaaaat? I know but it hasn’t been a great Summer for me and uh, Fall/Winter attire is probably my favorite. It took a long time to realize that. When…

Retro Heat
So, something amazing happened when I was working on the last post. But first, let’s rewind. I used to be subscribed to Design Public’s newsletter and let me tell you, it was pure torture so I unsubscribed. Torture because I basically wanted everything and couldn’t afford it. One of my biggest wants from them is…

Yardage.
Our backyard (and frontyard) is in a state of disarray. Remember this? 3 years ago? Yea, well it’s worse. Nothing is overgrown, its just dead now. Horribly dead. Those pictures actually make the yard look gorgeous looking back at them. We tell ourselves we don’t water in order to keep our bills low, but I’m…

07212013
I almost didn’t address this here. I’m still debating it as I type. But a part of me feels like it’s wrong not to. On July 21st, my mom passed away. ^And that was incredibly hard to type. I won’t go into what I’m feeling or how I’m dealing with it. I’ll handle that privately.…

New Digs.
No, not mine. Over the weekend I realized how many of my favorite bloggers have recently purchased new homes. You know what that means? New projects! The amount of joy this gives me is unreal. So I thought I’d share that joy with y’all. via Manhattan-Nest Daniel from Manhattan-Nest John & Sherry from Young House…

Happy Birthday, America.
Today you turn 237. Looking good, girl. Looking mighty fine. For all your faults, ‘Merica, I still love you. I can’t imagine having been born or raised anywhere but here. I know there’s beauty I’ve yet to discover all over this amazing world but I get to claim you as my home and I wouldn’t…

Acapulco.
It’s the weekend, which means I’m thinking about one thing: rest and relaxation. Okay maybe that’s two things. Here’s a third: these acapulco chairs (with a vague birth story) are said to have been invented after a relaxing visit to Mexico’s coastal town of the same name. Aren’t they gorgeous? I need about ten. Although,…

Home Stretch.
As some of you may or may not know, this blog started off as a shared project between Yong & I. We wanted to document moving in together. The trials and tribulations of combining our living arrangements, styles and attitudes. However, Yong went on to start Romero Brooks and I became the only one who…
