What the Graham?!

We're newlyweds-ish living in a former bachelor pad, no not The Bachelor Pad, trying to make our house a home. Of course while juggling full time jobs, a business out of state and two not completely sane people OH AND we're going to be having a baby!! It results in a journey, our journey...

Week One Two In The Books

Authors: Jami

So…it’s been just over 2 weeks since we’ve had our keys. There hasn’t been nearly as much progress as I had planned but then again, that’s what happens when you’ve officially spent since that Tuesday trying to clean! I’m going to be totally honest, it’s been rough. The prior owner has caused some problems and words can’t describe the f...

Moving: It’s Sold…and Sold!

Authors: Jami

Welp, the old house has been sold…for a long time now, just shy of 3 weeks actually. We’ve been so blessed to have been able to live with my parents, they so graciously opened up our home to us…even the dogs, Todd’s stinking cat could not come (no tears here). It’s been a freaking crazy experience. The irony is that, my entire teenage...

Moving: Its for real

Authors: Jami

Well things are going so quickly on the moving front! We’re back to the dark days (that’s what I’ve named the time while Todd was dragging his feet to decorate) except, in addition to nothing on the walls there are boxes littered throughout the house. It’s lovely…if we were a mouse or a hoarder.
So far...

Time with Tenley

Authors: Jami

I’ve been slacking on this and I’m sorry! We’ve been busy house hunting (ie. heart breaking), keeping the house maintained, dealing with a sickie (Tenley had RSV and now a cold), packing, and working. It’s been INSANE. We pretty much never eat as a family…it’s been a fend for yourself night pretty...

Moving: Offer Accepted!

Authors: Jami

Todd and I just signed our counter offer, to be honest, I don’t understand why we countered since we didn’t actually counter anything. Basically, we signed our acceptance. There were tears. I was a mess, I’m shocked and mostly because of what I said before…
…this is the home we came to once married

…w...

Moving: It’s for real!

Authors: Jami

I posted it via Social Media today…it’s official. The house is on the market.

I’m terrified and maybe a little sad. Actually pretty sad…and I’m the one pushing to move! There’s so much I still had planned to do and none of it can be done because we’re selling it! We’ve already done things...

Baby Bye Bye Bye!

Authors: Jami

You know when you make brilliant plans and then something drastic changes, usually not for the best, well that’s happening but it’s for the best! If you follow on Twitter or Instagram you probably already know or have an idea…

We’re going to be selling the bachelor pad and buying a fixer upper.

This will no

DIY Armoire…or closet as us un-fancy folk call it.

Authors: Jami

So when you try to tell a total critic (Todd) that we need to build a huge freaking “closet” or armoire…you know us unsophisticated folks like closet better. You can imagine that grumpy pants would be less than enthused and when looking for support elsewhere with anyone around trying to explain this vision...

Game Room Inspiration…out with the old build with the new.

Authors: Jami

So it’s not secret, I’m SLOWLY changing this former bachelor pad into a home. When I moved in the game rom was a mess, no, a mess would be too kind, it was a disaster and in the middle Todd had a pool table squeezed/thrown in the middle of the room. We slowly cleaned up the room and eventually he let me sell his expensive...

What’s Up With Tenley…and a catching up of sorts!

Authors: Jami

Just coming back here is like that awkward phone call you make to your old friend that you haven’t talked to in ages. AWKWARD!!! That being said, I’ve missed blogging…that (big) part of my life that I miss! Quite honestly, I’ve really struggled to find my voice and feel like someone outside of...
