WE BUILT A GREENHOUSE!

this post is in partnership with The Home Depot. hi friends! I’m assuming most people who read my blog also follow me on Instagram and in that case, you probably already have seen the exciting update – we built a greenhouse! A little backstory – we first toured our house in August, signed papers in September and officially moved in October. The house also had a standalone garage in the backyard, which could be accessed from a back alley. We decided immediately that we would NOT put our car in there because it was 1) gross and 2) falling apart and 3) had termite/rot damage, […]

how to handle rejection

hi friends! I recently was having a bad afternoon where I felt really defeated and disappointed by rejection. I had spent a ton of time on a new work project proposal and was hopeful/excited about the opportunity and then…got rejected (after several weeks of no response – but that’s a different story šŸ™ƒ). when we are told NO (whether it’s a job offer or promotion you didn’t get, a relationship that didn’t work out, a proposal or idea that was turned down, feeling left out in a social circle, etc.) it can be hard to not let it affect your entire day or self-worth. I’m […]

our san francisco closet nursery & small space living with baby tips

I’ve been thinking a lot about our old apartment and in particular, Lucy’s teeny tiny closet nursery. I realized I never shared photos of it on here! Our small SF apartmentĀ  and closet nursery were featured on Glitter Guide and The Everymom,Ā but I want to make sure they are documented on my own little corner of the Internet, too. āœØ STARTING WITH A BLANK CANVAS: Our apartment in San Francisco was 650ish feet, and the living room and bedroom were connected by pretty French doors that we usually kept open. One bonus to the very small space was that the apartment had two generously sized […]

flight tips for traveling with babies and young toddlers

Hi friends! I’ve had several people ask me to share my tips and tricks for flying with a baby and I’ve been meaning to write this post for a LONG time. āœˆļøWhen Lucy was younger, I shared a lot of tips on my Instagram Story (HERE) but I haven’t shared a lot of tips recently, so here it goes. āœØAs a quick backstory: we decided early on that we weren’t going to let having a child stop us from traveling. Does it change the travel experience? ABSOLUTELY. Does it require wayyyy more planning + logistics and way less sleep? TOTALLY. But, I don’t regret any […]

entryway-turned-sitting-area refresh with wayfair

This post is sponsored by Wayfair, a brand I love and shop from regularly. Thanks for supporting businesses that I partner with! Hey everyone! Today, I’m super excited to share photos from our entryway turned sitting area/play space. It’s not 100% finished, but it’s super close, and I’m really in love with the way this space looks so far. The only thing we really need to do is find art we like to go on the walls (because Lucy’s birthday balloon wreath thing won’t last forever, sadly! šŸŽˆšŸ˜©). Our house was built in 1919 and has an awkwardly large entry area. When you walk into […]
