Don’t you just love IKEA? We are fortunate enough to be only 20 minutes away from, not one, but two of the only IKEA’s in Illinois. Back when we were in an apartment, I could literally walk to one, it was great. And dangerous 😉 You can do so many neat, ‘look for less’ projects […]

Hello and happy Valentine’s Day, friends! Although it doesn’t feel super celebratory since I’ll be working this morning… In case you forgot, it is now tax season (my main profession) so I will be a little busier than usual. I will try my best to keep up on posting, but it may be a little

Happy Saturday, friends! Do you all have Superbowl plans, or are you keeping it chill? We’re having some friends over tomorrow, and let me tell you… I will not clean if people don’t come over. So people, you need to come over. Or else we live in a state of grossness. Nuff said. Here are
In T-72 hours this bathroom should be in final and finished state! How exciting is that? It may have been the bane of our existence for the past three months… but we are finally nearing the finish line. In my last Loving Lately post, I hinted at the Grand Half Bath Disaster of 2015. Well….
