A House, Maybe?

As I sit to write this, I’m pee-my-pants excited/terrified that we’ve put an offer on a house! We’ve been house hunting for the longest month of my life. Who knew this would be such a roller coaster of emotions? I mean, once you look at a house, get past all its ugly parts, and picture [...]

Mel vs. Nursery, Round 2

With a new kiddo on the way in February, I’m feeling the {self-imposed} pressure to redo the nursery since the boys will be sharing a room {a challenge of its own, I’m sure}. I have no clue how to make an inspiration board, so I’ve got a folder on my desktop just overflowing with creative [...]

The Hawaii Chronicles: Chapter One

Moving, Gallery, and Hawaii – Oh My!

Things in the Sutton house have been exciting and chaotic since the end of May. At the end of May, we finally got out of our house that we’ve lived in for the past 2.5 years.  There’s nothing like moving to make you realize how much stuff you accumulate over the years! Even having a [...]

A Toast

Five years ago today, I woke up with more excitement, nerves, and anticipation than any other day before. I can still remember it so clearly.  As a procrastinator, I had stayed up late making my bridesmaids’ necklaces, and was trying desperately to figure out what to pack for the honeymoon {apparent

Hair Detox

Last night at small group, I mentioned that Bob is about to leave town for a week, and that I typically have trouble sleeping when he’s gone. I have a wild imagination, and picture bad guys lurking outside my house, just waiting for me to turn out all the lights {which might not be so [...]
