Sloan Kitchen Challenge + A Giveaway!
I’m sure it’s no surprise what the Sloans did this weekend. In case you missed it on Insta, we started our kitchen renovation on Friday and spent the entire weekend tearing down walls, pulling up flooring, and patching and painting the ceiling. We’ve still got a long way to go but we are kinda shocked at how much we’ve gotten done already. We expected to still be in the late stages of demoing or just getting around to cleaning up so we are stoked that we got the first coat of paint on the ceiling before having to be back at work today. I plan on doing full posts on…
Staying Right Where We Are | Home Updates
When we bought our house five years ago, our plan was to stay here 7-10 years {or until we had our first babe} and then look for something bigger. Clocking in at just over 1300 sq feet, we knew that we would eventually outgrow our ranch-style home. We moved in, fell in love with the quiet neighborhood and location of our house, and at one point, even talked about tearing down it down and rebuilding. And then we went to Rwanda.

Most Embarrassing Moment
It’s Show and Tell Tuesday over at Momfessionals and today’s theme is your “most embarrassing moment”. It’s really hard to name just one because if you’ve ever met me, you know that I am the clumsiest person {I really have no idea how I was so good at cheering} and I’ve had multiple instances of falling down {or up} flights of stairs or tripping over myself in public. Those don’t even bother me anymore. My most embarrassing moments are definitely the times I opened my big mouth before thinking. Like my freshman year of high school. We had just gotten back from summer break and I’m sitting in my Honors English…
50 Shades of Gray
Okay…so more like five. Five shades of gray. Literally. And to be honest, I was pretty impressed that I only bought five samples after I spent Friday night and Saturday morning scouring through Pinterest to get an idea of what I wanted. So while Cory started to prep the house to be painted Saturday afternoon, I headed to Sherwin Williams, where I proceeded to stare at the paint wall for a good 30 minutes looking at every. single. gray swatch they had. When I got home, Cory said “Why’d you get so many?” and I just chuckled inside. If he only knew how many I wanted to get! Almost immediately we…
