The One Thing People Don't Tell You About Coming Out

Coming out is hard. But besides that, it’s also freeing, scary, exhilarating, emotional, and one of the most important things we’ll go through as members of the LGBTQ+ community. But there’s one thing that didn’t occur to us after we came out all those years ago…

Have a Gourd-geous Weekend

What are you up to this weekend? We’ve got the kids again and are babysitting them through Sunday. The oldest one started school today (!) and we can’t wait to pick him up and hear about his first day 😊.

We’ve been watching True Detective season 2 lately, which, despite receiving somewhat negative reviews, we’ve actually enjoyed a lot. Maybe not as good as the first season, but still entertaining enough. Today though, The Politician came out on Netflix (finally) and we can’t wait to watch it tonight after the kids go to bed! Doesn’t it look so good?

Hope you have a wonderful weekend, friend! xoxo

PS: Wow. It’s been a week, hasn’t it?

A Very Good Day

A Very Good Day

Yesterday we went out to the river land, and even though it still feels like summer, it was 86 degrees (which is a respite from the 93 degrees it‘s been every day for the past four months), the wind was blowing, and the water wasn’t AS cold as it normally is…

Have a Beautiful Weekend

What are you up to this weekend? We’re babysitting the kids again (!) so there’s going to be some trampoline and park time mixed in somewhere. They’ve been redoing one of the main parks here in town for just over a year, and it should be finished within the next month or so. The oldest kiddo asks if it’s finished every time he sees us and we can’t wait to finally take them once it’s ready!

We woke up to a 60 degree morning today and have been spending it outside on the back deck with the door open before it gets up to 90 degrees later on in the afternoon. PJ is repotting some plants and the kiddos are playing with the ball while the dogs watch cautiously.
We keep smelling a hint of something in the air that reminds us of our favorite hotel in Amsterdam, which is giving us all the feels. It’s been a good morning ❤️.

Hope you have a great weekend, friend. xoxo

PS: doesn’t Amsterdam look so dreamy in the fall?

The Flip House is Officially Finished!

And just like that, we say goodbye to working on the house that, for a while, felt like we would never finish.
