Well this past weekend was just a total whirlwind of running around 100 mph (which we all know is the speed Erica DeSpain is the most comfortable with anyway! haha), but man… it was so good too. So so so so very good! Excited to chit chat and share about our happenings! Around 2 a.m. on the morning of my… Keep Reading
The Saturday Sit-Down #51: Our Darling Adventure
When I first rebranded my blog and started taking it a bit more seriously in 2014, the first thing I attempted to do was build somewhat of a community with other bloggers. I can’t remember how I went about finding an initial core group of “blogging friends”, but one of the first girls I “met” was Elizabeth. Four years later,… Keep Reading

This post feels like a blast from the past where I… Keep Reading

(Anyone remember the bright green living room accent wall and master bath?) We bought it knowing that we had some… Keep Reading
Welcome to a Lifetime of Worry
Early on in the second trimester of my pregnancy with Hadley, something alarming showed up on one of my ultrasounds. She had a choroid plexus cyst on her brain, and it was bluntly explained to me that sometimes these things go away on their own between 20-30 weeks, though other times this cyst is known as a soft marker for… Keep Reading
