When you find a penny, pick it up
It’s like one day you’re snuggling this little baby and preparing for the transition back to work, and the next you’re three months in and chasing a moving target. It’s been a busy few months since I’ve posted last. Let’s…

Fifty Shades of Grey (in Fifty Shapes and Sizes)
Dealing with delays was not so fun, but picking out tiles and flooring? We’re starting to get to the good stuff! Aldo and I started our tile and flooring journey at ProSource in the Dallas Design District because that’s where…
Pool Stop or Bust
Can someone please tell me how it’s already October?! The days are flying by, but I love this month and season. To me, fall brings fresh beginnings, much like the start of a new year. After a long (like, really…
#ourfloreverhome – The Beginnings
