The big news of this week: we closed on our first house! If it feels like it happened really fast…it kind of did. Our lease ended in mid-July, and although we were able to go to month-to-month, we knew...

It was been such a crazy week! Between work travel, moving into a new house and hosting some of my favorite friends in town from London: not a ton of time to stay on top of blog stuff. To be honest, I...
