Our bedroom, like the rest of our home, is rustic/farmhouse inspired. Our bed frame is from Wayfair. (You can find a similar bed Here.) I saw this bed a immediately pictured it in our home. Wayfair's price made it even more appealing! It fit our home and style perfectly! We purchased our mattress from Rooms to go. It was during Memorial Day, so we got such a great deal. We decided on a Serta, it was comfortable and affordable. The bench is from Target.(You can find the same one here.) I ended up getting the mint green colored bench and painted it navy myself. It was cheaper and a fun little project.

Our Home and Irma

So, we have not posted this week due to the damages that Irma brought. Our home is fine, however the winds blew over one of our trees in the front yard, which so happened to land on the power lines. It was a HUGE mess! The fire department was so busy all they could do was block it off with caution tape. However, it was causing quite the jam. It blocked half of the neighborhood from getting in and out. Finally, some guys decided to take matters into their own hands and cut the tree themselves, enough room to allow people to drive in and out. Before and while they were cutting, we helped people get their kids and allowed them to use our driveway to park. We did the little that we cold in this situation. We also, met a lot of our neighbors in the process.

The Escape of 2 Huskies

When we first bought our home, what really sold us was the backyard. It was fenced in and was big enough for our huskies to run and enjoy life. We have more backyard to expand on, but that will come in time. Anyways, 3 sides of the fence are a privacy fence and the backside is a black metal fence. We were skeptical about the back part of the fence because Zelda is a fence jumper. So, my mom's boyfriend helped us by adding a blockade at the top, Jump That Zelda! It was funny to see her check out the fence when we first got here, trying anyway to hop, but realizing it was just too high for her. She would charge the fence and then at the last minute stop.

Dining room decor

When I first came across our home on Zillow, what helped sell me on it was their decor. I could easily picture myself in the home. Sure, some of the colors were not my choice, but a fresh coat of paint is easy. 

They had a similar dining room table, and I fell in love with it. It fit perfect with my style, which is rustic/modern. Which seems to be the going trend. Hey, I am from the South, so it make sense.

We purchased the table and chair set on Wayfair (here), like I stated before they had the best deals! This piece, sure we had to put together (which a majority of our furniture we did and Boy, was that a chore!) but it was worth it! It is great quality and for a bargain price! 

6 Ingredient Smoothie

Happy Labor Day Weekend!!

I started today off with a nice workout, I really am working hard to get into shape!
I have been drinking a "breakfast" smoothie every morning for the past few weeks and it really helps keep up my energy and lasts until lunch.

Our Living Room

We moved into our new home in June and we are proud of our accomplishment! It is both of our first home that we bought. It is a ranch style home with a split bedroom plan, meaning on one side is the master bedroom and on the other side is our two guest bedrooms, with the center of our home having the kitchen/dining room and living room. When I first saw this online I fell inlove (not evening knowing the layout!) I told my husband that we had to go see it. Once I saw it in person I was SOLD! My husband was a little hesitant, were we really ready, is there something else out there, etc. I mean this was the first home we actually went to see. I knew I shouldnt get attached, however I could see us in this house. It fit us perfectly! And wahlah, we were able to get it and pretty quickly I might add!
