1 Day Left: Home Update

We are down to 1 day left until we close! We close tomorrow morning around 8:30am and plan on starting to move stuff in tomorrow night. Both of our parents are coming in town tomorrow too, so we should have a lot of fun. We have movers coming Friday morning to move all of the big furniture and stuff like that. I can’t believe the day is here; time flew by so fast!

These pictures are from earlier in the week but you can see that the appliances are in and the kitchen is pretty much good to go. I need to get a darker outlet cover for the island though, that is bugging me.

And our blinds are all in and look great. I love the white wood! My favorite are the blinds on the little windows, they just look so cute.

& we have a yard now! Its crazy how much bigger the space looks with grass. At this point, I am so thankful for the sprinkler system so that we can help the grass get a good start.

We also went around the other day and taped all the little spots that needed to be touched up in the house. I was a little tape shy at first (the builder had already taped this corner up) but then I got the hang of it and taped away!

Here is a picture of our mailbox and the workers putting in the grass out front. I am going to want to plant flowers in the front and put bricks around the edge of the flower bed. It is looking great though.

Feeling incredibly grateful for another year of life, the people I Iove, and all the little moments that make this season so special. Here’s to making the most of every day and embracing all that 36 has in store.
  • Still trying to put into words what an incredible experience this was. 🧡⚽️

Getting the opportunity to attend the FIFA World Cup with @homedepot for their #HomeDepotUnmatched experience was truly a once-in-a-lifetime trip.

From meeting amazing creators and learning from incredible brands to experiencing the energy and excitement of the world’s biggest sporting event, every moment was unforgettable.

A huge thank you to The Home Depot for believing in creators, creating such a meaningful experience, and making us feel so welcomed every step of the way. The memories, connections, and experiences from this trip are something I’ll carry with me for a very long time.

Grateful beyond words for this opportunity and and so thankful for every brand that trusts me to share their story. 🧡⚽️✨

  • Day 2 of The Home Depot Unmatched 🧡⚽️

We had a full day of hands-on demos and learning about some of the top brands and products in The Home Depot lineup.

From outdoor living and power tools to paint, smart home technology, and interior design inspiration... they truly covered it all!

We also enjoyed incredible food and ended the day with a dinner celebration that felt like something out of a dream. We were spoiled with gifts, and I left feeling so inspired and excited to bring new ideas to life for all of you.

One of the best parts of this experience has been connecting with such an amazing group of creators and learning from one another along the way. The conversations, encouragement, and shared creativity have made this trip even more special.

A huge thank you to The Home Depot team for creating such an unforgettable experience. 🧡
