Typing that out gave me the biggest sense of achievement... We bought a commercial space! We own it! It's ours! It's been a long time coming but I figured I'd write up about the process of buying a commercial building for those who may be interested in following along or doing it for themselves. This [...]
I’m all about being real with you all and today’s post is.. ahem. Embarrassing? Kind of. I’m going to tell you all about how I made two expensive mistakes in one project and the advice I got on how to feel better when we mess up. I’ve been pinning raised garden bed ideas since we [...]

Ha... I know. The last post I published was a gift guide. And now here I am, giving you this: the case for why Jake, myself, and our families decided to quit gifts cold turkey this year. Let me start off by saying I can only recall Jake and I exchanging gifts once or twice [...]
If you're anything like me, the holidays are a grab-bag of different stressors, feelings, and plans. "Let's spend X number of days with my family, and X number of days with your family," "So-and-so wants to meet up with us when we're back home for Christmas," "Let's do thanksgiving in a new place this year," [...]
Hello, friends! You're all so great. Did you know that? I'm lucky that I get to inhabit this planet with you. Speaking of our wonderful planet, this week is Climate Week in NYC and there were planned Climate Strikes worldwide over the weekend and throughout this week. The world is in dire need of our [...]
Haaayyy-o! Happy Friday, my friends! I hate to be a person that lives for Friday, but today is our fifth wedding anniversary and I'm excited for this weekend to come.
