It’s no secret that I love a good deal. My mom and I will try to outdo each other for the greatest deal/steal of the week and I’ll always count it a point of pride if I manage to outdo the Queen of Deals (as she is fondly known). And while I love markdowns and…
2016 was a wonderful year full of fun adventures, visits with family and friends, and exciting milestones for our kiddos. We’re looking forward to a new milestone in 2017 as we welcome a new addition to our family! #3 will be joining us in August and we couldn’t be happier. So from our (growing) family…

When we first moved into the Palmer House and divided up the bedrooms, Samantha got the smaller of two. But what it doesn’t have in extra square footage, it makes up for in gorgeous light. And I’m all about the gorgeous light. For the last year we’ve had Samantha and Caleb sharing a room while…
