I'm finally getting around to updating my home decor for fall. I feel like I needed to mourn the passing of summer a little longer than usual before fully embracing fall. Maybe it's because we had such a fun, travel packed summer that I wasn't ready to give it up, but most likely it was due to the fact that it hasn't really started to feel like fall till now. Fall is actually my favorite season! I love all the fun fall activities, especially now with Mason. We're visiting pumpkin patches weekly and slowly collecting enough ... Read more...
Bathroom Remodel Before and After
I am so excited that our bathroom remodel is finally done. We've been enjoying our new bathroom for a couple of weeks now but I was waiting for some of the finishing touches to arrive before I did the big reveal. You may have remembered that I wrote a post mid-way through the project to fill you in on the progress and the things we ran into while doing the remodel ourselves.

The first big project we tackled was our kitchen ... Read more...
Transitioning to a Toddler Bed
So when did you know it was time to transition your toddler into a toddler bed? Funny story for us, well actually more of a scary story. Mason pretty much told us it was time to transition him into a toddler bed after one scary act. The other day he was fighting his afternoon nap and all of a sudden, there he was opening up his bedroom door looking at us like, "hey! I'm not going to nap today." So we put him back in his crib, only to have him do the same thing minutes later. We were hoping the third time would be the charm, but wanted ... Read more...
Sleep Better for a Better You with a Purple Mattress
One thing people don't think about when wanting to reach their health and fitness goals is sleep. I honestly have always traded in more sleep for less sleep and more productivity. Night time after everyone else has gone to bed are some of my best working hours. But when I hit a plateau in my health and fitness journey I started to do some research as to why that might be. I was seemingly doing everything right, eating healthy, doing intermittent fasting, having a consistent workout plan, but at a certain point I wasn't making any ... Read more...
