2. Have you ever seen Property Brothers? I really want to buy a property and build that much equity into the home. There's one home that has an unfinished basement and it's on an acre+ of land in Idaho that seems like it would be great! It needs some updating but for the most part it is wonderful. How do they finance the renovations on those shows? I've heard of renovation loans, but not too much. I want SPECIFICS. But that would be years away.
3. Christmas lights are one of my favorite things to see coming up this time of year. I love them. They are beautiful and sparkle and light up my heart.

4. Waffle House. There is a chain of restaurants out here called Waffle House. This pregnancy I have been craving their Hashbrowns All-the-way. They have chili, gravy, jalapenos, mushrooms, tomatoes, onions, cheese, and I bet I'm missing something. The thing is...they're amazing and they hit the spot every single time!
5. And recent photos:
 |
| We had a movie night last week and the girls were so happy because Marcus had been away for a few days and he came back and snuggled them while we watched a movie. |
 |
| Marcus made banana muffins. The man knows my heart. |
 |
| She just wanted to take a picture with me. |
 |
| She wrapped herself in a blanket and snuggled Marcus' lap. |
 |
| She has been making this face lately. It cracks me up! |
 |
| This girl is so beautiful in every way! Marcus makes pancakes on the weekends and he wanted to get creative this weekend and made butterfly pancakes for the girls. |
 |
| He made a giant heart with our initials (the c is backwards haha). |
 |
| This paper light project took WAY longer than I thought. Our wall is so long downstairs so we finally finished it around midnight. It took a total of 5 hours. Oi! |
 |
| But it looks so whimsical and adorable. I love it. |
