{jon jon c/o rikshaw design} Loved celebrating my mamas 63rd birthday last Friday. Also, is she real? pretty sure, no. we get mistaken for sisters literally everywhere we go. So grateful I get to see her every day. my mama has so many habits that keep her young. some are: chasing tuck […]

splurge vs save
I’m mostly a saver, but I do splurge when I think I’ll get the most bang for my buck. Some items in my closet were marked down after a mark down then 50% off of that red priced tag. I love hitting a good sale- I just feel so smart! It makes me giddy. I’m […]
an ugly truth of mine
this whole internet world is amazing and also incredibly strange, all at the same time. Amazing because I have been able to tell my story, share my heart with people, and meet life long friends.

It’s been roughly nine months since we signed up to buy a short sale. It was a little dream starter home for me with tons of character and privacy. Today we turn in the papers where we decided not to sign a fifth addendum. We’re letting this one go. We can’t blame anyone on […]
best thing ever: coconut oil
Something I’ve used for.ever. is coconut oil. I buy this HUGE jar of organic coconut oil – as JB refers it as my own “big gulp”. Then I split it into little containers for each bathroom, one for tuckies room, and the remaining goes in the kitchen. What do I use it for? Pretty much […]
