so the last time you saw the hallway – it was a hot mess.
well, surprise…at this point in the sharing pictures game the board and batten is up (and painted – but i forgot to upload the pictures of that!) and i’ve ordered the curtains for in front of the washer and dryer (and we fixed the dryer vent – PRAISE!) – i’ve even ordered & framed a new 8×10 print to base a gallery wall off of.
can i be completely honest – picking this paint color was absolutely insane.
i went through 5 different test pots to pick the one i was originally leaning towards – picking a paint color in a hallway with limited natural light and lots of edges – takes days y’all. days.
i even put up a test swatch from my bedroom – to see if i liked that gray better.

the board and batten wasn’t that hard mainlyyyy because i didn’t do it ๐Ÿ˜‰
a friend of mine has been helping me with some house projects because i want to learn some things…and he has that brain that can do all of the technical math and cuts and measurements easy peasy. we went to lowes got the wood, cut it down to size, sanded it, marked it, glued + nail gunned it into the wall. then i got to the best longest part and started painting it all white.

when i share next you’ll see the paint color i picked & the curtains!
we’re still working on installing & painting the bench (which has become tobi’s favorite place to perch) and the cubbies in the corner space – and then it’s all cosmetic with art!

have you been working on any house projects recently?
what areas of your house would you like to spruce up?

Instagram post 2195874940329614162_32408268 If you've been wanting an honest and raw outlook of where I'm at in life right now...then my blog post is for you today. ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿป
Really the blog post was for me. I have been doing some reflection the last few days and have had a few AH-HA moments that have left me having to process a lot and recognize that I've got some changes to make. ๐Ÿ™ƒ
In the past when change came for me I withered away into a "I don't want to face this" shell. Over the last few years I've seen how change is hard but it can bring so much good if we have the right perspective and pivot. ๐Ÿคท๐Ÿปโ€โ™€๏ธ

Instagram post 2195171605100239492_32408268 I'm needing a little pick-me-up this Monday. I spent the weekend curled up on the couch attempting to rest and let my body get ahead (& recover) from this cold that came out of no where. ๐Ÿ™„
I also went to the doctor last week and I found out that this whole hip pain is actually Trochanteric Bursitis and the only thing I can do to work through it is rest, ice, anti inflammatories, and no hard workouts. It's going to be super hard for me to not workout like I am used to for the next 4-6 weeks. I am having to pause, pivot, and approach my fitness and weight loss journey a little differently during this season.

Instagram post 2192945577606881892_32408268 Coffee + Books is the perfect morning routine (#ad).
โ˜•
I've been spending my Saturday mornings in a slow routine of making some french press @officialmaxwellhouse coffee and sipping on that delicious warmth (y'all the smooth bold is my favorite right now!). I've also been reading through the newest illustrated HP book the husband got me for my birthday.

What is your winter weekend routine? I want to hear all about it.

Instagram post 2192362811714493448_32408268 This was 3 days before we packed up our entire house to move everything across the country last year.
๐ŸŒฒ
It had been so long since I decorated for Christmas that I actually jumped for joy when I got my hands on this tiny baby tree to pretend like I was doing all the Christmas things.
๐Ÿคท๐Ÿปโ€โ™€๏ธ
What little things do you do during this season that brings you joy? This was definitely one of those joyful moments!

Instagram post 2191523655560054651_32408268 I can't wait for next year when Eddie & I are not only able to walk through an Advent devotional but can also light the weekly candles! ๐Ÿ•ฏ
It's a tradition my family did growing up and I LOVED having that devotional time with my mom, dad, & brother around the kitchen table and lighting each candle while learning the reason for the season we're in. ๐Ÿ™๐Ÿป
Seriously, I'm craving that married time where we can strengthen each other and pour into one another.

I seriously love this time of the year. It's a mixture of slowing down and speeding up that brings this excitement you just can't predict. ๐Ÿ’ซ
This week is full of lots of to-dos, multiple appointments, and trying to find balance between it all. What is your week looking like? .

Instagram post 2185217555214879788_32408268 I'm alive.
๐Ÿ˜‰
Friends, life is just weird right now. It's the holidays, I feel like I should be doing 10,000 things but have the motivation for 5. I go through a season of powering through and making it all get done and others where I just don't know where to start.
๐Ÿคท๐Ÿปโ€โ™€๏ธ
@mountain_ed and I had a heart to heart the other night and we were chatting about financial + future goals and how I have no idea what I want to be doing work wise to contribute to that. ๐Ÿค”
Photography has been S-L-O-W. Blog content + $$ is slow. I work part time at a boutique gym (which I love) but that won't be a forever thing. So what am I doing? What am I passionate about? What am I good at?
๐Ÿ™ƒ
I came back with zero answers.
I'm lost right now.
I'm confused.
I'm just not really ok with where I am but am lacking motivation / understanding on how to change it.
๐Ÿƒ
So i'll be here, plugging along, posting the real life and the fluff to just make it through this season that seems to have been going on for a few years. Any prayers, insight, or encouragement would be appreciated. .
