...just checking in!

Hey friends! I've been totally absent for the past couple of weeks. Sorry! I keep wanting to post but I can't find the strength or focus (or time) to do so!

I just wanted to check in and say hello and Merry Christmas! Life has gotten way hectic lately and since I only like to blog when I want to blog, I'm going to take the rest of December off to focus on family, my house, my etsy shop, and enjoying the last few weeks of 2014! I'll be back in January with LOTS of fun posts and recaps from December - including the reveal of our new floors!

While I'm out, keep up with me here, here, and here! :)

Merry Christmas!

my construction zone of life

Hey y'all!

Sorry for so much silence around here...life has been cray-zay. Well, crazy plus a little bit of boring.

Work is a little nuts, my house is torn apart (literally)...

...and my nights have been taken up working on Etsy, playing (and losing) soccer, and finishing Gilmore Girls. I cried, y'all.

We were hoping to finish our flooring last weekend but we had a few hiccups including Mark's unwelcome stomach bug and an unexpected layer of mortar we had to remove ourselves. That being said, we got SO close! Mark had to travel for work this week (he always leaves town in the middle of a major house project...funny how that works) We have about 50 square feet left to cover and the floor will be done. THEN we will be painting and installing baseboards. I'm almost more excited for this than I was for the floors. I think they are going to update the feel and look of our house SO much! Stay tuned for a recap on that!

But for now, I'll leave you with our progress pictures from last weekend. Have a great one!
