We are all about finding that next adventure, but does that mean you have to travel to have adventure? No way. I mean it's fun to do that, however life throws adventure at you everyday, and we get to decide what we want to do with it. Now, let's go out and find that next great adventure!

on the 'gram

3•17•2023 - welcome to the world little Margot Beth! We are so excited that you’re finally here. And now, it’s birth story time!!

I’m aware I’m like a million weeks pregnant and swollen to the max, but on of the last DIYs that I wanted to do before baby gets here was organize all these bows! We have bows that are just for baby, and just for Hallie but I wanted them all in one place and visible so I could see them all! And I’m obsessed with how it turned out. It’s perfect!

It’s official…. we have an induction date set, so we now only have 12 days to go till we meet this little babe, and it’s all feeling a bit surreal! For the longest time I didn’t feel like I was really pregnant. It just felt like the finish line was so far away, but now that the end is in sight, I get giddy thinking about how life will be with our fourth and final babe, and i cannot wait!!

I cannot believe I haven’t shared the reveal yet, so here it is! I saw a couple different tutorials, but mostly this one is based off one i saw from @shanty2chic! I started and finished under 36 hours, and feel dang proud! Getting these old wire shelves out, and the spacing better suited for us, feels amazing! So here’s what I did…

Last week my friends threw me the sweetest baby shower and I’m still not over it! Having a surprise baby for your 4th and final is kind of the best. You soak in every bit of it, and the celebrations of it all is so real! We’ve got such an incredible community of people behind us, I know that if we screw up raising these babies…. It’s not really our fault.

The time has come!!! I have never been more excited for a reveal than I am for this front room! It started off as a sitting room, turned into an office, shiplapped the ENTIRE room, back to sitting room… but it never found it’s groove. We ended up using it as a dumping grounds of sorts, and for it to be the first room you see when you walk in, you just want more! My mom was brainstorming with me one day and she suggested putting lockers in here! I thought it was a crazy idea. But I couldn’t stop thinking about how insanely functional that would become! And that was all before we even knew we had another baby on the way! But I got to thinking, and finally started drawing up ideas! And just a few 5-6 months later… here we are!!

let’s stay connected!

3•17•2023 - welcome to the world little Margot

3•17•2023 - welcome to the world little Margot Beth! We are so excited that you’re finally here. And now, it’s birth story time!!

We got checked into the hospital at 6:00 am and got started on the iv and soon after they slowly started the Pitocin! I was up walking around, we played a game of nerts, i bounced on the ball, and did all the things to get this labor moving. Gratefully my doctor let me eat, so i got some lunch in between everything! I wanted to wait to get the epidural till I was at a 7 or so for fear of it stalling the labor, but when 8pm rolled around and I was only at a 5cm, I started to question it all so I got the epidural. And it was the best decision! My body responds so well to it, and I was able to relax, rest and prepare for the grand finale! By 11:30pm I was ready to go, but we had to wait for the doctor to come. We got so close to midnight that they asked if I wanted to wait a little longer or give her a St Patrick’s Day birthday. I couldn’t pass up the opportunity so we started pushing and within 2 contractions she was here! Born at 11:57 pm at 6lb 11.8oz and 19” long. Perfect in every single way!

And huge shout out to @christinevandrephotography for coming to the hospital and waiting for hours to capture these moments that I will cherish forever!! 🤍🤍🤍

I’m aware I’m like a million weeks pregnant and swollen to the max, but on of the last DIYs that I wanted to do before baby gets here was organize all these bows! We have bows that are just for baby, and just for Hallie but I wanted them all in one place and visible so I could see them all! And I’m obsessed with how it turned out. It’s perfect!

This was a super easy project, so if you need a solution to bow storage, I’d totally recommend it! Just cut down some wood to about an inch wide, and for my space I measured the width 22” and the length is about 36”, which fit 4 of these tension rods perfectly! I’ll link the rods and curtain holders in my stories, but it’s so good! You’ll love it!!

Also so insanely grateful for a best friend like @christinedonna @christinevandrephotography who takes the most stunning of photos, even when you’ve decided to put on an extra 40 lbs. I will cherish these forever. 🥰

I cannot believe I haven’t shared the reveal yet, so here it is! I saw a couple different tutorials, but mostly this one is based off one i saw from @shanty2chic! I started and finished under 36 hours, and feel dang proud! Getting these old wire shelves out, and the spacing better suited for us, feels amazing! So here’s what I did…

1) tore out the old wire shelving, patched the holes, and painted the pantry!
2) built @ikea Billy bookcases for the sides, and secured them to the walls. Then built shelves for the corner (which technically I haven’t painted lol)
3) for the top of the bookcases I used the @rubbermaid shelves from @homedepot (I saw this tip from @shanty2chic)
4) next the white shelves and brackets were installed. Shelves are from @loweshomeimprovement and the brackets are from @homedepot

I’ll share links for everything in my stories! Enjoy!! 🥰
