I haven’t talked about it on here but I have been really interested in the Montessori-approach to play and education (aren’t they the same thing with a 14 month old?) I’ve never been a huge fan of large, loud plastic toys that have blinking lights and teach nothing and have preferred toys that are made […]

One Year As a Mom: What I’ve Learned
I’ve spent one year as a mom and it has been so challenging but incredibly magical.
Budget Powder Room Makeover
Aside from the nursery, Chris and I didn’t touch any of the rooms in our house before we moved in. The whole house (except the laundry room and living room) were my least favorite color… beige. Unfortunately, we don’t have a ton of free time to paint or make the changes I want, so I […]
Master Bedroom Inspiration | Mood Board
The master bedroom has never really gotten the attention it deserved in our last two homes. I did whip up something satisfactory in our last house, but it still never felt complete. Our new house has an amazing master bedroom with windows that let in lots of light and vaulted ceilings that make the room […]
Kitchen Inspiration | Mood Board
One of the things I liked most about our house is it’s lack of updates. It was built in the early ’90s so I wouldn’t say it’s old, which is nice coming from a house built 40 years prior. C and I want to be able to put our touch on something in our own […]

I figured I would put together a similar post to last year, which has led me to reflect on how much has changed. Last year, I shared my Nordstrom Anniversary Sale picks while pregnant. This year, I share them with a […]
We Moved!
We Moved! The last couple of months have been a whirlwind. We only made the decision recently that we wanted to get serious about selling our house in Eastmoor and moving to Gahanna or Westerville. We have plenty of time until Isla is ready for school, but I knew I wanted to be in a […]
Spring Clothing Haul
I was a bit naughty. I haven’t made a clothing purchase like this since the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale. I’m trying to accept my post-baby body as it is, mostly the same, but different in ways I prefer it not to be. Thinking about spring and summer clothing is a bit discouraging, but I think a […]

Half a Year with Isla Rey
Happy half birthday, my love. Time is going by way too fast but Chris and I are enjoying every moment of parenting our beautiful girl. She is the sweetest baby. She rolls forward and backward, smiles and laughs all the time, and loves her fur brother, Max. We have quite the routine down and every […]
