Craving Holiday Happiness...Just Do It

Colorful Conversations: DIY & Home Design

11/10/20 • 28 min

Looking for a way to bring some happiness into your life after a crazy year? Decorate for the holidays now! Bring instant joy and coziness to your home with your Christmas decor. We discuss how much everyone in the world is craving holiday happiness. People want some relief from the pandemic and Christmas seems like the perfect diversion. I love decorating early, and I do my best to peer pressure Thea into jumping on the bandwagon also. This year I think it is extra important so we can really enjoy some new scenery. We have all been stuck mostly at home--changing things up a little (or a lot) is just what the doctor ordered!!!

Our Secret Project & Misheard Song Lyrics

Colorful Conversations: DIY & Home Design

11/04/20 • 35 min

This episode tells you all about our VERY exciting new project (that is not new to us, since we have been discussing it for years!). Creating the House to Home journal was a labor of love and I could not be more excited to release it into the world! We talk all about it and what it looks like and how you can use it to keep track of turning your house into a home you love. But before we can get into that, the podcast goes sideways (as if often does when Thea and I start talking). We first discuss an ALMOST as an important topic--misheard lyrics. Listen below for all the details on Thea's best misheard lyrics and all the details about the House to Home journal.

We Moved In, What's Next?

Colorful Conversations: DIY & Home Design

10/20/20 • 40 min

Today we discuss what will happen AFTER we move in! I have a plan for how I want it to go, but as we know, things can change (I already have revelations on this as we talk in the podcast) so who knows how well we will stick to the plan?! But we do want to have our living spaces ready for the holidays, so that is first on the agenda. We go into detail about what really needs to happen and all the plans I have! I am so excited for a blank slate (thankfully no longer a brown slate, LOL) to do whatever we want and I cannot wait to turn it into our dream home.

What We Are Doing Before We Move In

Colorful Conversations: DIY & Home Design

10/13/20 • 32 min

In this episode, we talk all about the things that are happening BEFORE we move in. We are finally at a place where we can have a little bit of space between our moves and this allows for some pretty big jobs to be done prior to moving almost anything in. This is the first time we have been able to afford to do this, and to say the hard work is all paying off is an understatement. For the first time I am walking into a house that is going to be mostly ready for me to tackle the fun design work that is the part that I REALLY love. Join us in the closets for another fun discussion!

Our New Home Must-Haves

Colorful Conversations: DIY & Home Design

09/21/20 • 47 min

When Joe and I started talking about buying a new home, we really had to prioritize and compromise to create our must-have list. Thea and I started comparing our lists since we are both in the process of moving, and our lists of must-haves in a new house were vastly different. In this episode, we compare our wish-lists and discuss how trying it can be to juggle wants and needs while compromising with your spouse. Spoiler alert--it is tricky!

Q&A: Why We are Moving!

Colorful Conversations: DIY & Home Design

09/12/20 • 41 min

Everyone is shocked we are moving! We are filling you in on the all details-- the what, why, and where AND we answer all of your burning questions about our upcoming move. I announced about a month ago in a blog post that we have decided to move. It has been giving me all the feels, but I was shocked to find out how floored you all are, not to mention you all have a lot of feelings about it also! I could never have predicted the flood into my Instagram DM's with questions about All. The. Things. When it came time to sit down and answer them all, I decided the easiest way to discuss it is to resurrect the podcast. Thea and I have been itching to restart, and this was the perfect reason to get it going again. We have loved this house, but are SO excited for the changes having a new home will bring not only to our family but also to the blog! Listen along to Thea and me talk about the reason the move is happening and I answer all of your burning questions about it!

Un moms are doing all the things--working, mothering, teaching, cleaning, cooking, and on and on and on. If you are feeling all this and the occasional rage, then you are in very good company. We talk about all the ways the pandemic has affected us and then we share the ways that we are attempting to combat our endless exhaustion.
