Mitch here!
After a year of renovations, it was time to think about upgrading Noodle’s “room.” So this past week, Noodle and I took on the project and gave her a major upgrade.
In the Dog House
Photo Series: Larkins Playing
Lucy’s Strawberry Dress / Emma’s Rainbow Dress / Toaster and Egg Set
I apologize for the inclusion of 35 photos in this post, but we’re in the middle of a pandemic and photography brings me joy so here we are! Honestly, I want to do this kind of thing way more often. I carried my camera around for a couple of hours the other day and it was wonderfully soothing. Creative expression must have a calming effect or something. 😉 MAYBE I SHOULD START PAINTING.
Recent Finds, 5/1
Button-front top: $24.50
FUN STORY:
I published this post early yesterday, and labeled it as May 31.
Fail.
Then I changed 5/31 to 4/31. April 31.
Fail.
TIME TO REVALUATE MY LIFE, hahaha.

I really look forward to putting these posts together; it’s lovely to sit on the couch and turn my brain off for some time with the TV in the background. So thanks for reading, haha.
Some of my favorite things that are crazy marked down:
Leopard leggings you can wear as pants: $19.50 // These are AMAZING. Yes, they’re intended to be workout leggings, but they’re thick, and they totally look like pants when paired with a crisp white button-down or tunic. They honestly look phenomenal. I ordered one size up so they appear more like pants, and they’re fantastic. Can’t get over the price today!
High-rise Cozy jeans: $22.50 // Unreal savings today. These are Factory’s “Cozy Jeans,” which are almost a knit material. They aren’t particularly thick; just incredibly comfy. I also don’t find that they bag out throughout the day, which is really nice. I can’t recommend these more. I prefer them over my designer jeans!
Essential Tee: $7.50 // I have a bunch of these! They’re very simple, but I reach for the white, gray, black, navy and hot pink ones all the time. And how could you beat $7.50?
Before + After: Affordable Pantry Organization
This is by far the most satisfying improvement I’ve made to our home while in quarantine! It sparks joy, that’s for sure. 😉
Mini Patio Makeover
Home projects have been so helpful these past couple of months. First, they pass the time and get our minds off things. Second, they provide us with a sense of accomplishment. (Turns out that it IS possible to be productive during quarantine with small children. 🙌) Third, they obviously improve the house!
All My Favorite White Jeans
White Jeans (But all my favorites are below!) / Similar Red Ballet Flats / Old Cable-Knit Sweater (But for a similar look, try this beautiful camel cashmere sweater… or this cotton one in”Heather Oatmeal”!)
Oh hellooooooo.
Recent Finds, 4/27
Hellllooooo! Today’s post is a whopper.
But let’s just go ahead and blame “Little Fires Everywhere,” because I put this together while watching that… and, well, I absentmindedly added 60+ products. 😂
Noodle in Quarantine
Mitch here!
Noodle’s been training for this pandemic her whole life. She sleeps like 22 hours a day and she’s always hated going outside. This quarantine is playing right into her little paws. You see, she wants us home. She wants us home real badly.
Cute Outdoor Accessories
It nearly killed me, but this past week I knocked out a lot of time-consuming projects that I owed… and a weight has been lifted. Acclimating to two-hour workdays has definitely been overwhelming at times, and I’m often discouraged when I see friends picking up these awesome hobbies and doing fantastic activities with their kids while maintaining homes and/or juggling work. HOW DO PEOPLE DO IT? We’ve been quarantining for a long time at this point, and I’m still working on projects that should have been completed in early March. It’s almost May. 😂
