I am a young, newlywed Army spouse with a story to tell. I've always thought my life was pretty normal, nothing out of the ordinary. Until, a turn of events happened all in a years span that left our family in a complete rut. That is when I met the man of my dreams and the sky began to glaze over with sunlight. We inherited the place I have always called home and are now on a mission to make it our own. So snuggle up to a warm cup of {sugary!} coffee or light that candle you promised would only be for decoration. Live crazy, right? In this blog you'll find articles of small tricks I've learned throughout the day, interesting recipes, home decor ideas, and beautiful wickless {no smoke - no soot} candles by Scentsy! But most importantly, you will be by our side as we take on the adventure of home ownership. Brace yourself for horrible before and hopefully beautiful after photos of every hurdle in our home. I hope you enjoy the ride as much as we will!
