WHAT A YEAR!! Our blog definitely took a weird shift when we started doing more renovation projects than actual DIY projects and furniture builds. So much so that when I started going back through the projects we did in 2019, I didn't expect to have much to report other than home improvement projects. But I was wrong!! So let's take a little walk down memory lane and recap our year here at Reality ... [ Read More ]

Well folks... 2018 was one for the books. Every year, between Christmas and New Years, I set aside some time to look back through a year's worth of blog posts and projects and gather them up in one happy/tidy post. Kind of like a recap of the whole year. In doing so this time around, I was shocked by just how much we squeezed into a single year. Sometimes it feels like we bit off more than ... [ Read More ]

Well, 2017 has been a crazy year, full of love, family, and precious memories. We’ve been so blessed! Each December as I scroll through the projects from that year, I’m always surprised by how much we got done! It doesn’t seem like we’re THAT busy, because we’re doing what we love… and we’re doing it together. What more could anyone ask for?! As a bit of a recap, I’m going to share the projects ...

It’s been a great year, hasn’t it? Maybe not in all the ways… but we’re optimists over here. I’m trying to drink in every moment of our girls being young. Every giggle. Every piece of ‘artwork’. Every tantrum. ALL OF IT. Because I know that there are so many precious friends who would give anything for this blessing that’s taken for granted by so many. And I know that someday, the ...

My people. My dear DEAR people. Did you survive the holidays? Do you have even more family Christmas gatherings to attend? I feel that it would be in my best interest (and everyone elses?) to take a 2-day nap, followed by stripping the house of all Christmas décor, and finding a ‘home’ for every single new item acquired over the holidays. THE CLUTTER. It’s taking over my life. And my marriage. ... [ Read More ]

It’s been a whirlwind of a year for us. My one and only New Years resolution from last year’s Round Up Post was to get knocked up… quite possibly the only resolution I’ve actually achieved success at in the history of my entire life! We spent the first part of the year painting backsplashes to save money for our FET, which we did, and paid for in cash last June. After an emotional and ... [ Read More ]

Happy New Year! How’s your hangover? We’re old enough that our idea of celebration is SLEEPING. So I’m rockin’ 8 strong hours of snoozage. I don’t do resolutions very often... but this year I resolve to get knocked up at some point. Did you make any resolutions? I know I’m a little behind everyone else in Bloglandia with my ‘2013 Recap Post’, but better late than never right? I mostly do these ... [ Read More ]

Happy New Year friends! We had a crazy wild year of 2012, and wanted to share a few a LOT of our favorite projects from the past year! I don’t think I realized just how productive we’ve been until I started going back through posts and reflecting on the past 12 months. Some of these projects seem so recent, while others seem like centuries ago. If you’ve been around here for awhile, it will be a ... [ Read More ]

Well whatdoya know, it's a brand new year! I made it to 9:30 on New Year's Eve... not because I'm sleep deprived though. I'm just an early-to-bed kinda girl. Ain't nothing I'd rather do on New Year's Eve than rent a movie to watch with my betrothed lover... and hit the hay early. I've never been one for making resolutions of any kind, I just like to think of each new year as a new beginning. And ... [ Read More ]
