Hi guys! I have to say this is our last room we needed to renovate in our home!! I can't believe it. We moved in in 2020 and now in 2023 we are complete. (backyard is another story, if I were a millionaire I would redo it BUTTT I am happy the inside is all done! I do have to make some rooms more homey and add to the basement but in due time) [all links to everything at the end of this post] I always get questions on paint color and we did Pure White with Sherwin Williams (Pro mar 200). Satin/Eggshell on walls, semi gloss on moldings, and flat on ceilings. If you want to check out the other rem ..read more

Hi guys! We redid our basement this past February-May and the remodel is finally done! It will take me a while to really make it feel cozy but here it is so far. I still want to add a bench and table and chairs across from the bar because its an empty space right now but that will come later. Tv area also still needs some lovin to add more decor and color. For the bar, we went with stock cabinets which were MUCH cheaper than custom. Bar contact info is at bottom of this post. Our contractor Frank (708-595-4081‬) installed them and did all the other work (floors, electrical, paint, plumbing etc ..read more

If you track your cycle pretty heavily then you might know the exact day you ovulated. Something that really helps to know is checking your temperature every day 'basal body tempera ..read more

I’ve just entered into my second trimester, and there’s already so many things to think about as an expecting parent– and it seems like everyone has an opinion about it. One of the baby products on our list that I researched the entire internet for was a high chair. I know it’ll be a few months before we use it with the baby, but I wanted to get as much as possible ready before the baby comes. I know things will get wild . Plus, I’ve been building my registry for like 5 years hahah I wanted something that was safe, easy to clean (from what I’ve seen, meals with babies get… messy) and looked go ..read more
