Time for a fun list of things I’m totally digging right now… 1.) Pam’s Cheesecake. The crust is made of Fudge Striped Cookies, butter, and sugar. ‘Nuff said. 2.) Starbucks Pumpkin Spice Lattes. Have I mentioned how much I love Fall?! 3.) Ped Egg. I’m really late jumping on this bandwagon, but really, it’s great! […]
All Sorted Out
As I mentioned earlier, I’m trying to go through the house and take it from just moved in to organized bliss. I tackled the laundry closet last weekend and put the finishing touches on this week.

Fall Decor Wrap Up + Link Party Favorites
I have to say, all my fall decor was really easy this year! Here’s a quick recap on the diy projects. First off was the burlap runner with burlap napkin rings. I simply bought a roll of burlap at Michaels and cut it in half lengthwise to use as a runner. Then, I cut strips from the […]

Fall Table Decor
I love fall! I count down every year, eagerly waiting for fall. I hate the heat of summer. Heat makes me feel very sluggish and generally makes me not feel well. Stupid asthma keeps me inside most of the summer because I can’t breathe when it’s hot and hazy. By the time fall comes around, […]
To Do List: Dining Room Edition
Now that I’ve shared our dining room table reveal with you, I’ll let you in on our future plans for this room. Here’s our wishlist: 1.) Build a bench for the table. We’d like to be able to seat 6 instead of just four. 2.) Change out the chandelier. The dark green lampshades are not […]

Hooray!!! We finally finished the table! And I thought we could get it all done in one or two weekends. Ha! To refresh your memory, here’s my first post about the table.
