If you follow me on Instagram or Facebook then you saw a few weeks ago that we embarked on a 16 day road trip that was absolutely amazing. We had been planning this trip for a bout a year - it took a lot of time and back and forth to get it all planned but it was worth it. And really, Al did everything. I packed the car and showed up on the day we were leaving. This week I'm going to share the details of each stop. And spend each day wishing I was back on vacation! Moab, UT Where we stayed: We booked this Airbnb which I was a little skeptical about as it was just a read more this way >>>
phone apps i’m currently loving
I love finding new apps that are helpful, easy to use and free or cheap. I've been meaning to share these with you guys for a while now. I'm sure I'll have even more to share in the coming months too. A few that I'm currently loving and wanted to share: Pocket I can't remember where I stumbled upon the pocket app. With one click of a button you can save any articles that you'd like to read for later. I used to keep a tab open in my safari app with all these articles I wanted to go back and read and it was very annoying. Now, they all save directly in the Pocket read more this way >>>
the easiest open faced chicken salad sandwich recipe
I love a good chicken salad and the easier it can be to make the better. I make it an open-faced sandwich because, well, gluten-free bread comes in really tiny slices and this way I get to have more chicken salad on it than I would if I made and actual sandwich. Serve with whatever you'd like on the side - chips, crackers, fruit, salad - the sky's the limit! read more this way >>>
on being 20 weeks pregnant
I'm coming up on 21 weeks in this pregnancy and it's been an interesting journey thus far. I'm feeling a lot better, still staying active, don't have any cravings but am loving fresh fruit and rarely make it past 9pm before I'm in bed. While we were on vacation a few weeks ago the bump really popped out to the point that I looked pregnant versus like I ate a huge burrito for lunch. An observation that we both made was the amount of people who just STARE at you. casual bump photos. real life. nothing fancy, nothing staged. Women, men, children - everyone just read more this way >>>
two years owning this home!
If you follow EO on Instagram or Facebook you saw the amazing 16 day road trip we just completed. I can't wait to share all the details with you in the coming weeks! We're still recovering, trying to get back to the grind (ugh to that 5:30am wake up call) and unpacking. For now though, it's been two years since we bought this house! This past Sunday marked two years of us owning this house. It's pretty wild since it seems like we moved in yesterday. Sometimes I forget about all the things we've done because there's still so much to do, but I've been trying to read more this way >>>
super simple little girl’s dress
I “made” this dress, but in all honesty I bought the fabric that’s basically already a dress and sewed it to the right measurements. It was super easy and a great little summer dress though, and my gosh so cute. You can find this fabric at pretty much any fabric store, usually either in the kids fabric section or the apparel section. I only needed the measurements for around the body (kind of right under the armpits on a kid) and the length from armpits to knees (or wherever you want the length to be). With those measurements I then cut to size, pinned read more this way >>>
the pros of a shower head water filter
As a follow up to yesterday's post I wanted to share this recommendation with you guys. When we first moved in we had our water tested as we could tell it was really hard. The testing came back exactly how we expected – very hard water, lots of things in it that aren’t good for your skin and hair and not ideal to drink either. However, we also had them test the water from our Brita filter – our drinking water – and that came back nearly perfect. So, those things really do work! While we’d love to eventually install a full house water filtration system, it’s read more this way >>>
adding bath tub subway tile
Thanks so much for all the love and well wishes on yesterday's post! We're very excited and had no clue how much you all would be too! Jumping right back into DIY related things...! If you recall we redid the main bathroom ourselves last spring. At the time I mentioned that the tile in the tub was in decent condition so we just cleaned up the grout and left it. Well over the last year or so we started to notice leaks on the floor where the tub and floor meet. We weren’t sure if the leak was from a pipe or from the tile not being sealed or from the large window read more this way >>>
we’re getting a roommate!
A very, very small one. We’re thrilled to share that Baby T will be joining us in December and hopefully be born ready to work around this place. Kidding, we’ll give the kid until like 2 before we put him or her to work around here. I basically felt hungover for the first 15 weeks, except for there was no drinking involved. Which I mean is rough. Like at least when you’re hungover you had a great time the night before, ya know? My good time was going to bed at 8pm and counting the hours until I had to get up to pee. I’ve had a few bouts of migraines and read more this way >>>
how to polish door hardware {without harsh chemicals}
I mentioned in yesterday’s post that I polished the brass hardware on our front door. It was incredibly easy and I was quite amazed at how bright it ended up. I mean it's not BRIGHT brass, but compared to what it was it looks a lot better. And I also learned that I’ll never remove the hardware again because that might result in a very expensive locksmith bill. #whoops. I used a simple method of first boiling the hardware to soften and remove any paint that was on the hardware. I used a large pot that I picked up at the thrift store since I really didn’t want to read more this way >>>
