Hey there!

February has come and gone, and I don’t even know how — given that January seemed to last F-O-R-E-V-E-R. But alas, here were are in the final month of Q1.

If you’ve been following along here or on Instagram, you may have heard I bought a house in January and got all moved in in February. It wasn’t the most straight forward move, as the house I’d been renting had a mold problem, so I decided to part with most of the textiles and furniture that couldn’t be cleaned.

And with that, I cleaned each piece of furniture I did decide to keep, top to bottom before I let it enter my new home. I felt like a crazy person… and… I’m still exhausted from it all. But the new house is starting to feel like home, aside from not having a couch yet because… #decisions.

Now that the personal update is out of the way… keep reading for the good stuff!
