carpets and figs.
I made a rug! I enlisted the help of the carpentry dream team better known as amy and tessa. I was inspired by this post. In total I spent $50 and got an awesome area rug!

Due to a lack of proper paint roller I had to hand paint the 6’x9’...

touch my heart with your foot.
our move went really smoothly. we’re so thankful to our friends that took time out of their busy schedules to help us. it was much appreciated. our friends are so sweet that they helped us put together our bed, take down doors, and put together our new television stand. after we celebrated with pizza, beer, swimming, and a crossword puzzle! mama spent all of the day hiding in the bathroom...
