Switching from Building a Home to Buying a Home

by meganon April 23, 2019April 23, 2019 Leave a Comment on Switching from Building a Home to Buying a Home

Okay, we’re not switching necessarily, but we are open to the possibilities.  As I shared in my last post, building a home is turning out to be a lot more expensive that we ever dreamed. Building a home even close to my wish list will take every bit of our budget  Which is why we’ve …

Building a home is expensive… who knew?

by meganupdated on April 23, 2019April 20, 2019 1 Comment on Building a home is expensive… who knew?

For these last several months it seems as though all we’ve done is talk about house stuff. Ever since we started approaching our the end of our five-year plan for our current home we’ve spent countless hours pouring over house plans, comparing property sizes, researching covenants, getting rid of debt, and doing a lot of …

Wish List for our New Home

by meganupdated on April 23, 2019April 17, 2019 Leave a Comment on Wish List for our New Home

I’ve loved floorpans ever since I was a little. In fact, if I had been even remotely talented at math I would have considered becoming an architect because the job just seemed so cool. Dream up new home ideas all day? Yes, please! Back before the days of Pinterest I would cut out pages from …

The Search for the Perfect Property

by meganupdated on April 23, 2019April 13, 2019 Leave a Comment on The Search for the Perfect Property

The perfect property. Does such a thing exist? In the past month we’ve considering no less than a dozen properties. This one was way over our budget, that one was too small, this one had strict covenants, that one was wetlands, this one had too far a commute, that one was too open and barren. …

How we chose a name for our baby girl

From the time I was 10 years old, I knew what I wanted to name my daughter. I was a huge fan of the American Girl Books and absolutely adored the character of Samantha Parkington. I dreamed of one day having a dark-haired little girl and getting to use my favorite name. After marrying Micah, …

Third time around and I’m finally organized!

It’s amazing how different each pregnancy turns out to be. With Caleb we were barely out of newlywed status and as poor as church mice. I was 22 and didn’t have a clear grasp on my personal style or taste in decor, so when it came to decorating the nursery it was a hodge-podge of …

Why I’m obsessed with thrift stores

by meganupdated on April 24, 2019June 22, 2017 Leave a Comment on Why I’m obsessed with thrift stores

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 …

Morning Sickness? You mean All-Day-Sickness

by meganupdated on July 28, 2017May 20, 2017 Leave a Comment on Morning Sickness? You mean All-Day-Sickness

Whoever decided to call it morning sickness really deserves to be slapped. Okay, maybe not slapped, but at least glared at.  All day long, every day. There’s a reason why pregnancy is referred to as the nine month flu.  With Caleb, I didn’t really experience nausea, just the vomiting. I had to eat every two …
