I’m going to start off this post by unapologetically admitting that our backyard isn’t anything to write home about in terms of looks. It has, however, provided thousands of hours of entertainment for our girls, a good bit of produce in our garden despite its lack of sunlight, an ample amount of space for our […]

Merry Christmas & Happy New Year from Our Crew of FIVE!

About nine months ago if you had told me that I would be writing this Merry Christmas post to you with a baby soundly sleeping on my chest I would’ve been quite shocked. Yet here we are! Baby Jackson John (YES, OUR GIRLS HAVE A BROTHER!!!!) made his way into the world on December 11. […]

The Girl’s/Guest Bathroom Reveal in Our Mississippi Home

Ironically, it was the only bathroom we used the entire first year we lived in this house before we completed the primary bathroom remodel because it made the most sense for us logistically. It was adorned with wood paneling and […]

Over the summer we found out that we are getting stationed at Langley AFB, our first pick for where we were desiring for the Air Force to send us next. As much as we adore our community and home here in Mississippi, we really really craved being closer than 12-17 hours away from family. Especially […]

(Way) Better than Before Kitchen – My New Recommended Method to Paint Cabinets

About a year ago one of my best friends, Emilee, started talking to me about making some updates to her kitchen. Her biggest frustration with the space was that the entire thing was all “paper bag” brown – the walls, cabinets, counters, backsplash. All of it. The area was in dire need of some contrast. […]

Maternity Clothing Staples + Fall Maternity Capsule Wardrobe

As the temperatures are starting to drop (PRAISSSSSSSE THE LORD!) here in Mississippi, I have been starting to reach for fall clothes. I quickly realized though as I was stuffing myself like a sausage into non-maternity casings pieces that I was hoping I’d still be able to use for a while, that just wasn’t going […]

I’ve been itching (and praying) for the time when I could share write this post and here we are. If you’ve been keeping up with my (almost) weekly letters or the little blurbs I’ve shared on my Instagram, you know we’ve had a lot going on in our family with my brother. If you have […]

Cordless Bamboo Shade Privacy/Blackout DIY

When we moved into the Mississippi house almost three years ago (TIME FLIES!!!), all of the blinds on the front windows of the house were white wooden blinds and on the back of the house they were brown blinds. We decided to keep the ones in the front because they’re decent quality and blinds can […]
