I haven’t posted in awhile, but it’s not because nothing has been happening. We have been so busy over the past 3 months that I’ve hardly had a spare minute to document all the things we’ve been up to. I’m better at giving regular, real-time updates on instagram in my posts and stories. So go check us out there if you want to stay updated with what we’ve got going on daily! Otherwise, keep reading for the quick summary of what we’ve been up to and the sneak peeks on all the upcoming blog posts.
Since my last blog post:
- We finished our deck build (including the second story balcony off our master bedroom)
- We installed hardwood floors downstairs (that washable rug is Lorena Canals)
- We remodeled this adorable (and free) outdoor playhouse for our girls that was given to us by our neighbors
- We moved our office space into an office nook (I.e. in a corner in the playroom)
- We uncovered a massive leak in our sports room which subsequently led to us ripping out about 2 full sheets worth of plywood to uncover what was causing the leak- stopped the leak, but still need to repair the damage from the leak and close the wall up.
- We weathered hurricane Irma, and lost a couple trees, storage shed and some fencing
- We removed all the debris and shed
- We DIY painted/sealed the lower deck and started on the stairs and upper deck
- We replaced our entire fence with the help of Fence Hut
- We turned our office into a guest bedroom (after the office nook space was created)
- We installed lots and lots of shelves during a massive home reorganization
- We hung lights in our backyard
- And we saved 15% on car insurance by switching to geico
Okay… I’m kidding on that last one. We actually just dropped geico because progressive had better rates… and there was that one time I dressed up as Flo for Halloween…
Also since my last post, we’ve had some big things happening in our family:
- Our sweet second niece, Charlie was born
- We were the tackiest tourists ever on our first Disney cruise
- Our littlest babe turned a year old
- I ran my first half marathon
- And we went on our first ever family camping trip- with our 1 and 2 year old… and had a BLAST!
So the bad news is that while I’ve been neglecting my blog, you guys have missed a few things. The good news is, I have a very long list of blog post topics to share with you guys and I’m fully planning on dishing out all of the ins and outs, good and bad of basically everything in that list up there.
I also have a HUGE secret (No, I’m NOT pregnant). I don’t want to say too much and jinx a possible opportunity, but we are working on some really big things that are all around good for our family, life goals and really good blog content. The blog content part wasn’t our biggest motivator, but it is without a doubt a nice perk! So stay tuned, sit back and enjoy the good stuff ahead. Thanks for following along friends!
