I know, I know, that fall drum is going to be beaten a lot around here and on every other blog in the universe in the next few weeks, but can we talk about one of my favorite fall things for a moment? Catching up on my favorite shows and discovering new ones! Is that …

[Photo by Paul Ferney for Oh Happy Day] When we left off a couple of months ago, our newly renovated living room looked like this. Spoiler alert! Save for moving in our very old, very stained sofas, that is pretty much precisely how the room looks today. I’m even going to go so far as …
After the initial mad rush to tackle some of the first big renovation projects around the house immediately after closing, we’ve taken an extended break over the last several weeks as the rest of our life took precedence again. We pretty much look like we just moved in like a week ago. Not exaggerating. With …
Last year I was having a little love affair with pretty iPhone wallpaper designs and I rounded up a bunch of pretty patterns for summer. Turns out, that post was a random runaway hit with you guys, telling me that you love a good wallpaper download as much as I do. So, why not do …
I am so excited today to share photos of our living room renovation with you! If you’ve been following along on Snapchat, you know we have countless hours into renovating this room. As a quick recap, when we began we thought there was just a single layer of wallpaper on the walls. As it turns …
I’ve never been to Portland (of the Oregon persuasion) before so I’m pretty excited to be packing up my bags in October to head off to The Hello Sessions! Following their inaugural conference last fall (which I was sad to miss due to being approximately 42 months pregnant), founders Melissa and Joy reached out to …
I mentioned in my renovation update last week (and also multiple times on Snapchat) that we would be looking to swap out the existing light fixture in our dining room sooner rather than later.

Over the past couple of weeks, my pair of fiddle leafs figs have made a few appearances via social media as I’ve been sharing behind the scenes updates of our renovation (including yesterday on Instagram), yielding several questions on Instagram and Snapchat about how I keep these guys looking so healthy and happy. I’ll openly admit that houseplants …
I got home at right around two o’clock yesterday morning from a whirlwind of a trip to Key West celebrating my sister’s bachelorette weekend. Now that I’m home, we are a whopping five days out from having to be moved out of our current apartment while simultaneously trying to finish up phase I renovations at our house, …
I’ve shared many times over the years that I am a vegetarian, and recently I shared that I am also largely trying to avoid dairy and a lot of gluten too these days. I get a lot of questions that go something like, “Ok, so what do you eat then?” And the answer is lots …
Happy Monday, friends! The countdown is on until Thursday when I catch a flight and head off to meet up with my lil’ sister for her bachelorette weekend getaway in Key West. Hip hip hooray! Yes, I have a full blown house renovation in progress. Yes, I have a six month old. Yes, I have …
