Sharing A Quick Update On All Things {Currently}…

Oh friends, I can’t tell you how ready I am for March to roll in. Don’t get me wrong – our start to the year has been really wonderful and the boys especially have been enjoying the mountains of snow that came our way. And really, I’ve been trying so hard to stay present and enjoy the season we’re in (every cold + snowy minute of it), but oh my goodness, I just can’t help but look forward to Spring and the sunshine and warm temperatures that it’s sure to bring our way.

A few scenes from our month…

Life has been pretty busy around here this past month with Valentine’s Day celebrations (and the cookie + cupcake baking that went with it), celebrating our first year with our sweet Charley girl and of course, a whole lot of hockey.

And, in other big news: Brady and I decided to officially take our house off the market (you can read more about listing our home here). It’s something we’d been sitting with for a couple of months now – what we wanted our life to look like over the next few years and where we really wanted to settle in for a while. While we absolutely loved the character and potential of that old house and, most especially the property it sat on, the idea of starting over from scratch on an even bigger home with an even bigger renovation requirement felt quite daunting. And honestly, the more we sat with the idea of it all, the more overwhelmed we felt. Gradually, the idea of staying in this house began to grow on us. We’ve come so far with this house and truly made it into a home we absolutely love. It’s nearly finished really. With the most difficult renovations behind us, how could we just walk away and go backwards just to have to do it all over again somewhere else? What if we let ourselves continue on our journey here – finish what we started and really make this house reach its fullest potential? There are so many ideas we’ve dreamed up over our five years of living here and the idea of walking away after only making our way through half of them, leaving so much potential still on the table, made us feel a bit sad to be honest. Sure, there are things we don’t love about our home, but the more we really thought about it, the more reasons we found to stay.

And so, we’ve already started planning some pretty major changes that I cannot wait to share soon! In the mean time, here’s a quick update of where we are currently.
