We’re officially on baby watch around here! My mother-in-law arrived on Saturday to kick off our rotation of parents visiting, ready to take care of Charlie whenever we head to the hospital, our bags are packed and ready, and baby girl’s nursery is organized and decorated. My emotions have been all over the place but […]

If you missed it, find part one of Dana and Ian’s wedding here! Dana is the first of my siblings to get married, and while I knew her wedding would be a wonderful day, I didn’t realize what an absolute blast it would be to enjoy all the “action” of a family wedding without the […]

Our friends and […]

Dave and I fall into a funny category of caring a lot about what our space looks like (and more importantly, how its appearance makes us feel), while not having the skillset, patience, or desire to ever take on a big renovation. Thankfully, both of our houses have provided us with the same starting point: […]
