We are soooo excited to finally move into our new master bedroom! We have been temporarily staying in the second bedroom on the main floor which will end up being my office. When we moved into our new house the upstairs master was a terrible shade of ‘plum purple’ with some ugly vinyl floor Continue Reading…
Getting My Body Back After Baby: 65 weeks (and counting) of BBG
August 29, 2018When I was pregnant I totally thought (or at least hoped) I would be one of those people that would be back in their pre-baby jeans, at their pre-baby weight just a few short weeks after birth… Well that wasn’t the case (obviously). I gained 45lbs during my pregnancy. Continue Reading…
Gazpacho: The Perfect Summer Soup
August 21, 2018I have had Autumn on my mind. Can you believe summer is already almost over?! It has gone by so fast, but honestly, I am really looking forward to fall and all that comes with it, food included! I love making soups in the colder months and while it is definitely no where near cold right now Continue Reading…
Working from home can be a tough gig. In the beginning it was hard, trying to find the motivation and discipline was a challenge. But overtime I found what worked for me to be productive and efficient at home. Now, I seriously could never go back to working in an office! Continue Reading…
Inspiration for our New Backyard
August 2, 2018We have officially been in our new home for 2.5 weeks so it is time to get going on our first project: the backyard!

June 22, 2018Having a little one who is now so active and on the move makes this summer that much more fun. There are so many things I want to take Luna to do and the first thing checked off on our bucket list: Strawberry Picking! (errr, or picking and immediately eating in Luna’s case…) Continue Reading…
On the Move!
April 25, 2018Three years ago we bought our first house just a few months before we got married. We have put in so much hard work making this little house of ours a home. We remodeled the kitchen and bathroom, repainted the interior and exterior, transformed the backyard into our little urban oasis but sadly Continue Reading…
Easy Chickpea Curry
April 4, 2018What is up with this weather?! One day it will be 60 and sunny and the next its 48 and raining! Weather has a way of dictating the type of food I eat. When its cold I want some something that will warm me up, more comforting. While its the opposite when its hot out. With this typical Oregon weather Continue Reading…
Hoppy Easter!
April 2, 2018I swear every holiday is just that much more fun with a little one! We had a great Easter celebrating at home in the early morning and then headed to brunch later at my mom’s house. Seeing Luna’s little face light up when she saw her Easter basket this morning was the best. She had a blast throwing Continue Reading…
