Cottage Playhouse Makeover
It all started with having a baby girl. Since then, I’ve been reminiscing on my own childhood and thinking about all the things that I would’ve loved as a little girl.

Feelings of Joy
September 5, 2016 is a day I will never forget. We were finishing up a summer long kitchen remodel when I found out that a close friend took a positive pregnancy test that morning. I was a few days late, but didn’t think much about it. With my friend’s news, I decided to take a […]
