When Brandon and I found out we were expecting a bundle of joy we debated on whether or not we needed to move. We felt a lot of pressure to move, which is understandable. Most people upsize their living situation when they decide to start a family. But that wasn't in the cards for us, so instead of forcing ourselves into a financial grave, we decided we'd make our studio apartment work for us and our new babe as long as possible.

Shockingly, I quickly got overwhelmed by everything we seemed to "need" for this baby. #saracsm

thankful for home

On my days off, I like to wake up slowly and catch up with the YouTube channels I follow (which eventually leads to me watching as many celebrity interviews as I can handle) before getting ready and walking to whichever coffee shop is calling my name that day.

I started this morning off with two or three hours of scrolling Pinterest for nursery inspiration after waking up at 5 AM (again) for no reason. I finally got out of bed shortly after Brandon left for work and immediately started revving up my mind to get a to do list made for the day.

Then I looked over at a tiny corner of our apartment and how the light was hitting it and suddenly, I got the urge to make coffee in my French press, heat up some leftover pear coffee cake and enjoy my home.
