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, [...]

Decorating for Winter 2018
This past weekend marked 45 days until Christmas. Eeeek, so exciting! The winter holidays are my absolute favorite time of year, so I (not so) patiently wait until the weather turns cold and the days get shorter to break out the "Fairway Fur" and "Apple Spice" candles from Lake Candles, and "Holiday" from Pickwick & [...]

Drywall, hardwood floors, cabinets, and finishes are in [...]
