house tour || living space

I really enjoy looking back at photos from our first home in Beaumont, so I thought it would be fun to document the adventure of making this house a home.

There are also two more selfish reasons I choose to do this:

1. When I get overwhelmed and frustrated with how much needs to be done, it's a good reminder of how far we've come... 

I should have taken pictures from move in day.

2. Taking pictures makes design issues blatantly obvious. 

Please see above.

Lauren has become quite the puzzle lover in the last month.

They are one of the first things she goes for in the playroom and provide a lot of entertainment for the both of us.

We've still got a lot to do in the house and all projects & progress seems to have been on hold since the holidays.

which reminds me, I still need to blog on the current state of affairs in this house

friendship

One week ago, I awoke with that kind of anxious happiness you feel right before something really fabulous and special is going to happen...

Five of my dearest friends landed in Houston for a much needed, highly anticipated girls weekend.

In late October, we had Lauren's one year photos taken
by a photographer I totally crush on.

Happy Friday

Happy girls are the prettiest.
