It's MOVING DAY!!! Bye bye ugly walls. Bye bye od It's MOVING DAY!!!

Bye bye ugly walls. Bye bye odd layout. Bye bye extra bathroom (only a little sad about that). Bye bye parking lot where there weren't assigned spots. Bye bye second floor!!

Hello beautiful painted walls. Hello three bedrooms!!! Hello side porch and backyard!!!! Hello giant dining room!!! Hello giant shed!!!! Hello driveway!!

As much as we've been blessed living here in this apartment....I can honestly say good things are in store for us. Now, if anyone would like to come unpack all these boxes? I pay with cookies. 😂🍪

More fun outtakes in my stories!!

Alright, let's do a poll (for kicks and giggles it Alright, let's do a poll (for kicks and giggles it's in my stories as well). How many of you are OCD about your grid here on IG? 🙋🏼‍♀️ VS. How many of you don't care and post images that make your heart happy?

I'll be honest. I am OCD about my grid and try to make it look cohesive and tell a story....but lately. I've been posting what makes me happy and it's so freeing. I always love my grid more when I do this. Funny that way, isn't it?

I hope you post more of what you love instead of trying to fit in here. You're unique and special and I hope you see it!

Anyways, simple picture of my daughter smiling at me because it makes me happy. ❤

Taking a turn in my feed with some Arizona pictures!! It was so funny; everyone kept telling us to put on a coat but it felt like spring time to us!

While we were there we got to visit the Phoenix Botanical Gardens and they were beautiful! I can't wait to edit more of them.

Happy Thursday! It's almost moving day for us!
