School Bus Conversion

Day 10. Filling my @hanselmannpottery thumb cup to the top with coffee roasted by @tophferguson. Missing a time when quarantine memes werent a thing.

If you need us this is where well be. #quaranswing

Day 6 My dad felt well enough to get out of the house today for a few hours. It was nice being able to chat for a bit while he was feeling good. Since his cancer has returned he hasnt been doing well. The chemo has been destroying him. It makes you wonder if the cancer kills people or if its just all the drugs. Watching someone you love fight for their life is so hard! Not being able to do a damn thing to help is pretty shitty too. Some days are harder than others but today I was able to…

If I could deliver these gorgeous lilies I picked up from sprouts to everyone I know right now I would. Having a small bouquet of flowers in my kitchen makes me happy! They smell so good and make me think of spring. I think Im going to take a quick trip to @jerichonursery to buy some flowers and cacti to plant. Right now small business is suffering so much. Places like Jericho nursery do 90% of their business in the spring months so this is going to hit them so hard. If you plan to plant…

This whole social distancing thing has got me in the dumps so Im going to share something each day that makes me feel gratitude and joy. I encourage you to do the same. Today is my BUSt friends birthday and for us that means we just missed out on celebrating together. Also so many people are suffering through job loss loneliness sickness and anxiety about the future. It hasnt been a good day and Im sure its only going to get harder. But Im super grateful for these wonderful people. So…

Happy Birthday @brandontreb thanks for always getting me water in the middle of the night and everything else youre pretty great. #noyoureshmoopie

We spent the weekend outside and it felt so good!! I feel so cooped up during the winter months but once I get a glimpse of spring al I want to do is be outside. Our backyard is still a big mess because the pool is currently being built so this little seating area out front is currently my favorite place. We are very close to having the front of the house complete. Im just waiting for that inevitable last freeze of winter to pass so I can plant all the cacti my heart desires. It will…

Its Monday morning and the sun is shining bright. Im going to get up and get things done! Do you feel the urge to be productive every Monday like I do?! We love our ceiling fan from @hunterfanco its The Cranbrook in dove gray.

The C word... When my dad was diagnosed with cancer in November 2018 it hit like a ton of bricks. I was sure my dad was going to die. He was going to be in pain and pass in the worst way possible. Here we are 15 months later and hes still alive. Not only alive but kicking ass. Hes working hes completely self sufficient and hes overall happier. His perspective has been fantastic through all of this. He will tell you hes better now than ever. What Ive learned is its all about mindset…

This photo may look super staged. Dont get me wrong I did make sure there were no dirty socks under the coffee table and that my coffee cup from earlier was taken to the sink. This is our clean living room with perfectly placed throw pillows. Its not always picked up and perfect but honestly its not far from what this picture looks like. Picking up and cleaning takes very little time when you dont have a bunch of stuff cluttering your life. Living in the bus taught us that we didnt need a…

Moments like this are fleeting so when she asks to paint before starting school the answer is always...YES!

Last time I photographed this hallway it wasnt finished. It didnt have trim or light switches. It was my favorite then and its my favorite now. Once we moved in we quickly realized that with all of the windows in the hallway we needed a bit of privacy. These windows quickly became the highest priority since they look straight into the kids rooms. We called up our local @budget_blinds_official in Rio Rancho NM. Jared and Dale took such good care of us. They immediately sent out a team of…

Crab legs and Ribeyes with my favorite Valentines.

Enjoying my Wild Free with some afternoon tea.

Disney has been such a nice getaway but I am excited to get back to my own bed. Im not a person that loves hotel rooms. There is nothing in the world as cozy as my bed. We will be heading home today and Im pumped for a great night of sleep and a weekend to recuperate!
