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.

  • #ad #RubbermaidAmbassador Resetting my tween’s bathroom didn’t require a full makeover… just smarter swaps 👏🏻

I found these Rubbermaid bathroom essentials at @Walmart while doing a late-night scroll (because that’s when moms get things DONE 😅), and I love how they instantly made her space more organized and functional.

The Rubbermaid Mesh Pockets Shower Liner has been a game changer for keeping everything organized and the Rubbermaid Instamat™ Tub Mat gives me peace of mind with its non-slip design + easy hang-to-dry feature.

Both are BPA-free, kid-friendly, and designed to stay fresh longer—which means less work for me 💛

Small changes can make a BIG difference.

Watching these two grow 💐 while growing alongside them has been the sweetest gift.

So grateful for every little thing🤍

Happy Mother’s Day to all the moms out there. You are seen, appreciated, and doing better than you think 🌷

  • Super excited to watch Brooke step onto the stage for her first dance recital 💃🏽✨

She decided to try something completely new and joined a hip hop class this year!

Definitely outside of her comfort zone — and I couldn’t be more proud of her for sticking with it, growing in confidence, and having fun along the way.

Can’t wait to cheer on our girl today for two performances! 🎤🪩
