A pothos was one of my very first plants. I knew it was an easy plant, and a friend had recommended a great local nursery to get one from. Within a few weeks, I knew I wanted to propagate my pothos. I was so eager to see if it was easy and to grow my […]

How to Move With Two Young Children
When we moved a few months ago, I had a lot of people reach out and ask me how. Rosen was barely over a month old when we moved, and Bastian was 2 and a half. We didn’t hire movers, although we had a wonderful group of friends who helped us move. I think that […]

Rosen’s Nursery
Because we were planning to move right after Rosen was born, we didn’t have a chance to get his nursery set up. It just didn’t make sense to set up an entire room that he wouldn’t even really be using, just to pack it up a few weeks later. AND since it’s not a room […]

Buying a house is a large undertaking. It seems that the most difficult part for most of us, though, is scraping together that initial down payment. Once the house is yours, paying off the mortgage is much like a monthly rent payment. Maintenance costs are factored into your yearly budget and help you to build […]

Do you remember the days of gaudy holiday decorations and gigantic blow up santas perched by the front doors of their homes?

Modern Office Space Makeover
For the past year, my office has been a part of our guest room. It was convenient as far as location was concerned, but it was far from convenient when it came to accessibility. Anytime a friend or family member was visiting, my office space was immediately rendered useless. As Juniper Oak has grown, and […]

Sometimes, I think about how on earth I thought I was ‘busy’ before I had Bastian? I truly thought my life was crammed to the brim with daily tasks. And while it was, I definitely had a lot more downtime than I thought I did. One of the things that I’ve had to consciously work […]
Guest Bedroom Update with Mattress Firm
If you’ve been reading here for a while, you’ll know that earlier this year, Seth and I purchased our first home! One of the things we were most excited about doing when we bought our house, was remodeling and redecorating. Our very first project was the nursery(I was 36 weeks pregnant when we moved in!), […]
Holiday Gift Guide
I’m a little late getting this blog post, but what else is new? Mom life means my entire schedule is running a little late. I’m learning to embrace it. Just like everything else that I’m a little bit late with, I’m running behind on my Christmas shopping. I started gathering a few presents for Bastian […]
Master Bedroom Update – Cozy Bedding From Shopko
I’m a sucker for a good deal. You know those people that buy ten packs of toilet paper because “it was on sale”? That’s me. I get blinded by good deals! I usually have restraint, but there are a few things I can’t pass up. One of those is bedding. Bedding is sooo expensive. So […]
