“This seems… ambitious,” was all Brian said

“This seems… ambitious,” was all Brian said to me when he came downstairs on Saturday afternoon and found me in the midst of wallpapering the kitchen backsplash 🤣

But listen, I think I cope with stress by doing projects. Which incidentally cause more stress, but then I finish the project and feel amazing 🤩

This is the same beadboard wallpaper (yes, wallpaper!) that I used in Evangeline’s room. Lmk if you want the link to it 👍🏻

Now I just have to decide if I should do the other kitchen walls 🤔

It’s only taken me three months after her birth

It’s only taken me three months after her birth to finish this video 🤣 But finally, Evangeline’s nursery makeover video is finished!

Watch the transformation on my YouTube channel! 🌈

When Evangeline was 4 weeks old, Brian had surgery

When Evangeline was 4 weeks old, Brian had surgery to remove a cancerous tumor. It’s been a whirlwind - from the time he saw the doctor, he was in surgery less than a week later. The prognosis is good, but surgery recovery was brutal, and is still ongoing.

We went back and forth on whether or not to do one dose of chemo, but based on Brian’s family history and the doctor’s recommendation, we decided to go ahead with it.

Chemo is scheduled for Thursday. So many times since September, we’ve looked at each other and said “I can’t believe this is actually happening!”

I’m at a loss for words to sum this up, but we would appreciate all your thoughts and prayers.

It was pushing 80 degrees, I’m desperately tryin

It was pushing 80 degrees, I’m desperately trying to wear sweaters, I’m heartbroken over the election results, and I’m supposed to decorate for Christmas?! How?! 😫

Usually I have my tree up by now and I’m just NOT in the mood.

When do you decorate for Christmas? LMK if you’re struggling to get into the spirit too!

Have a magical Halloween! 🧚🗡️🧙🌸

She shed part 3! The mural reveal 🍓

Im pretty happy with how it turned out, not bad for my first mural! If I did it over again, I’d make the strawberries a lot bigger. But I’m thinking I might make painting a new mural on the doors an annual thing!

In the most recent episode of @dwellingplacepod I told the girls about finally finish this shed - it took from April to August 🙌🏻

My she-garden-shed makeover part 2: getting fancy!

It was so much work, but whitewashing the exterior and interior made a massive difference. I’m not stressed about the white floor getting dirty - I knew it would and I still like it 🤷‍♀️

Next up - the mural! 🍓
