To say "it's been a while" is an understatement. Fall has come and gone at The Palm House ... we already have Valentine's Day decorations out. A lot has changed since the last time I wrote a post (back in September 2020). Our baby is now a toddler, we're expecting our second kiddo this summer, [...]

It’s Fall Y’all! Favorite Sweater-Weather Home Decor at The Palm House
There’s a crispness in the air in KC, and I’m here for it. The first day temps dropped below 70 last week, I lit a pumpkin spiced candle and broke out all of the fall decorations. I don’t know if it’s because we’re home more due to COVID and needed something to “look forward to,” [...]
Decorating for Winter 2018

House Building: 65 Days Until Closing
It's crazy to see how quickly things are coming together! We had a chance to stop by the new house with Dan (our real estate agent with Group O'Dell) - we hadn't been able to really scope everything out since our trim walk back on July 3. Drywall, hardwood floors, cabinets, and finishes are in [...]
