Dreamhouse Update: Construction Progress Report [Video]

Things have been crazy busy lately – which you’ve probably gathered from our lack of blog posts in the last month. It’s been a bit of a struggle trying to strike the balance between our day jobs, being a parent to a 5 year old (Yes our little guy is FIVE now), working on the house, & staying on top of the blog, but we’re working on it.

Thankfully though – this time, our silence here hasn’t meant things over at the Dreamhouse have ground to a halt. Quite the opposite actually. Things have really progressed since our last update & we’re even starting to glimpse that light at the end of the tunnel. So rather than ramble on and on about all of the things that have been happening we thought it might be easier to share a quick video progress report so you can see for yourselves. Read more

Project Santa: Laundry room progress + paint

Happy Thursday folks – and Happy Thanksgiving to all our Ameri-friends!

First of all, I feel like I should apologize for the radio silence over the last couple of weeks. Between broken laptops, business trips, a sick pre-schooler & some much needed family time, there hasn’t been a whole lot of room left in my schedule for the blog. I know…BAD blogger!! Not to worry though cause I promise to make up for it. Read more
