“does this spark joy in you?”
Hi friends! Hope you’ve been having an awesome day. Sorry about the blog downtime this morning! Apparently the blog couldn’t handle the excitement of banana flour, and she fainted. (<— the server crashed.) Thankfully all has been resolved (WP Site Care maintains my blog and always helps when things like this happen) and we’re back…

A comfy guest room with a small space
This post is sponsored by Leesa. There’s quite a bit happening in our house right now! We’re moving a ton of baby items in from storage, shuffling things around, starting to baby-proof, and redecorating. And…because I’m crazy, I thought I’d make some changes to Livi’s room, too (I think it’s safe to say that nesting…

Around the house

Just say “spa”
Hi friends! Happy humpday! I woke up feeling super sore this morning. I couldn’t decide if it was the squat clean and jerks or the bowling. Yep, definitely the bowling. We also enjoyed a delicious dinner last night: (lavender and honey salmon, sauteed eggplant and zucchini with basil and rosemary, and smashed potatoes)

5/26: Meals and fitness + adventures in home improvement
Anyone else obsessed with Home Improvement growing up? (photo source) JTT was my LOVE. I had posters from Tiger Beat plastered all over my wall, would write him letters and send little trinkets. Hashtag fan girl. While I wasn’t the hugest fan of actual actual home improvement projects -I really just didn’t love Home Depot…

Liv’s New Room
Someone is officially moved and settled in her big girl room! She’s only one year old, but has already had three different rooms: next to our bed in the bassinet her nursery– the loft attached to our master bedroom (now an office) and now, her permanent room. That is: her room until we move, if…

A look at our wood
Everyday we’re shufflin’. As I mentioned before, our house has been a bit of a giant construction mess for a few weeks. Totally worth it. My dad came over and helped the Pilot install wood floors in the master bedroom, closet

One man’s treasure
is another man’s trash? Not too much food or fitness to share this morning. I was feeling pretty run down last night -the teething monster strikes again and it’s a fierce bout- and instead of seeing the gym as a refresher, I knew I was too tired to get in a good workout, so I…
