The May Recap

May 31, 2024

This month brought a mix of feelings – from the year feeling like it is flying, to not being able to truly soak up the time due to constant rain here in Maryland…to having many sleepless nights of creating for my clients as I build up my business. On the other side of it, I have never felt more aligned in my work, excited and creative! I know everyone says how busy they are, but I truly am jammed packed each day as I wanted to take on as much as possible to ramp up and grow to put myself in a good position from all aspects. I understand the pull all moms talk about – from the kids, to work, to your relationships, and personal health – it is a lot. I share all of this to lead up to my findings of feeling guilt-free and present in whatever it may be at the moment. That my schedule can shift a bit and things will still be ok! Now, I have the freedom to make those shifts by working for myself. I also got to a point in my business where we feel more than comfortable to bring on some part-time help, and we are so excited about it after just two weeks!

As for our home, we made a lot of planning progress on where our renovation projects stand and I hope to be able to share an overall update in a month or so! I don’t ever want to excite you all until we know for sure what is happening. We’ll have other small updates such as the deck, room styling and more in-between…and of course all of the tips and finds along the way! Stay tuned – I can promise it is going to be good!

In this post, I’m sharing everything we did, all the decor tips and finds for you, and much more! Thank you for being here and making all of this a dream to share. I can’t wait to see where we are in just a few months.
