We bought a new home!! 🏠⁣

We bought a new home!! 🏠⁣

.⁣

Bitter sweet is such an understatement! There were a lot of emotions as we drove away from Our Midwest Home (our fixer upper) for the last time.⁣

.⁣

Lots of firsts…our first home, the home we had when we got married, we found out we were pregnant there, found out our baby’s gender, and had Mylee’s baby shower there. ⁣

.⁣

We learned SO much as we remodeled, repainted and updated nearly every inch of the house…but for years we knew the day would come that we’d move back closer to Denver.⁣

.⁣

We’ve officially moved into our new build home in Bennett, CO. We’re still in the process of decorating and unpacking boxes, but we can’t help but look back and feel grateful for how far we’ve come in just a matter of a couple of years. ⁣

.⁣

We have a few more before and afters to share of our old home…and although this new build won’t need a lot done, we do have plans to redo some areas that we’ll share ☺️⁣

.⁣

We’ll post pictures of the inside of our new home as soon as we’re unpacked!

... Read moreMoving into a new home is a significant milestone in anyone's life, filled with emotions ranging from nostalgia to excitement. This article captures the bittersweet journey of leaving an old home – a place full of cherished memories, such as your first moments of marriage, celebrating milestones, and the joy of expecting a child. As you transition into your new space, there are numerous ways to make the home feel unique and inviting. Consider interior design elements that reflect your personal style, such as selecting a color palette that resonates with you, arranging furniture for comfort and functionality, and incorporating decor that tells your story. It's also an excellent time to embrace organization systems to streamline unpacking and settling in. This could involve creating designated areas for different functions—like a cozy reading nook, a vibrant play area for kids, or a chic workspace for productivity. Engage in DIY projects to add personal touches while making the house feel like a home. Additionally, share your experiences with the community; fellow homeowners love to post before-and-after pictures and renovations that breathe new life into spaces. Whether you're redoing a kitchen or landscaping the yard, documenting the journey can provide inspiration and foster connections. Lastly, remain open to the emotions that come with moving. Each corner of your old home holds significance, but embracing new experiences and creating fresh memories in your new build will pave the way for a bright new chapter.

✨Staying consistent when we’re not motivated✨
Motivation is great… but it’s not reliable.⁣ ⁣ If you’ve ever felt like you’re on fire one week and totally unmotivated the next… you’re not broken.⁣ ⁣ You just need better systems ➡️ not more pressure.⁣ ⁣ Consistency > Motivation.⁣ ⁣ Every. Damn. Time. ⁣ ⁣ It’s the quiet magic behind

We bought a home today but…
Today my husband and I closed on our new home an answer only God could bring about. We rejoice with everyone celebrating us, yet we also feel the ache of our recent losses: his father, my mother and brother, and my father’s absence.  With me a feeling of unworthiness and shame from growing up poor.
