Greetings all, doesn’t it feel so strange that the Fourth of July is on a Wednesday? It’s totally throwing me off but I’m happy for the day off tomorrow. Well as I’ve been hinting at for days, we are really proud to have finished the kitchen at our Alma Project just in time for four…

My 2012 Home Goal #6 is officially checked off the list! We have a new outdoor space all done up in shades of blue and just in time to enjoy summer outdoors. We don’t have any travel plans in July – instead we’ll be spending it at home chilling in this new blue balcony space…
Brace yourself, this is one of those meeeeellion images posts cause I just gotta share. Okay. We haven’t taken a real hop-on-an-airplane family vacation in five years, so ever since we started planning the Haven Conference last year and ever since my brother and his family also moved to Savannah a year ago it made…
