Home Sweet Home
Remember me? Probably not after all of these months away! I can't even believe I haven't blogged in months. But, when life happens...blogging doesn't. And life sure has been happening. We're all moved into our new home in PA and couldn't be happier :) We are living right under my sister, brother-in-law and adorable nephew and it is so much fun. Here is a little glimpse into our apartment:
We invested in a few new pieces of furniture since almost everything in our last apartment were hand me downs. I spent a lot of time at a antique shop near my parent's house also! That is where the shelf (an old shutter) and our coffee table (a chest which we put legs on) are from.
A few DIY projects of course took place! Like the "EAT" sign in the kitchen. Who wants to pay
$22 a letter from Anthropologie? Not I. These were under 10 dollars made with crafts from JoAnnes.
Hello new computer! We bought this bad boy to edit with. Great investment...we love it :) We have more weddings than we can probably handle this summer so it will definitely be put to good use. Say hello to the lovely Chelsey & Alyssa on our wall-two of our beautiful clients!
And finally, our bedroom. Well, half of it (I never took a picture of the other half). I do love the color green...
Our apartment is great-not only is it much bigger than our other one, but much nicer. It finally feels like home. We are missing so many people in NY, but are so happy to be back with my family when they need us most. The family I used to nanny for e-mail me last week saying, "There are reasons you were called home." Her words could not have been more true. My uncle passed away last week and I can't imagine not being home for that. My extended family is
extremely close and we all need each other right now. I was brought home to comfort my cousins. I was brought home to be a rock for my mom. I was brought home to spend my Fridays off with my grandmother who is fighting pancreatic cancer. I was brought home to make my sister laugh and remind her how important her job as a mother is each and every day. I guess the saying, "home is where your heart it" is true. And how can I not love life when I get to look at these two cuties every day?
(Wyatt, my nephew, is on the left and James, who I nanny for now, is on the right).
Much love from us to you!!
Keep reading. I promise now that we are all settled in, blogging will happen more.

I was just thinking about how I missed reading your blog! Glad you are back! :) I'm so sorry to hear about your uncle...my uncle just recently died unexpectedly and I come from a big, close family, too. And the thing that is getting us all through it is being together so I'm really glad you get to be with your family! Love the new place!!
I'm glad you're back! This blog is one of the places I go for that homey, heartwarming, cozy feel when I feel off-color. Your new apartment looks beautiful. Also, I love your boots! I'm looking for a good site to buy boots, and I was wondering where you got yours?
Yay, the apartment is so cute!! I look forward to hearing more from you...I love your blog!

Hurray! I look forward to some yummy recipes soon....I found your blog last year(?) when you did a post about homemade girl scout cookies. Been a follower ever since. Loved those! You guys are such an adorable couple...and I wish we lived near you so you could be our nanny too! :)
Jamie-Thanks! I got the boots from Charlotte Rousse (one of my favorite, affordable stores). I also have a few pairs from Aldo :)
