Family Home Improvement

A Cautiously Optimistic Hello to 2022

holiday card

I’ve been on a blogging hiatus for a while now – we moved out of our house in mid-July for our big renovation project, and that’s been consuming all of my mental energy since. To be honest, it’s been a total nightmare and I’m sure our families and close friends are tired of hearing us talk about it. We hired the wrong builder, and our 3 month project that’s now going on 7 MONTHS has been a valuable (albeit painful) learning experience. If you’re in southeast Michigan and are considering a renovation, please message me so I can tell you who to avoid – you’ll thank me later.

This was right after they let it rain INSIDE our house.

Fortunately, the project should hopefully be wrapping up in the next month – Jeremy and I have a TON to share about our experience, and tips for anyone looking for build or renovate. We’ll definitely be blogging (and maybe vlogging!) about it once the project is finally done, and we’ve been able to breathe a sigh of relief. Maybe also have a spa day and find a therapist. The PTSD is real.

In the meantime, I wanted to check in and say Happy (?) 2022! We’ve been staying with my mom this entire time, and the kids loved having Christmas at her house – I think my mom might have loved it just a little bit, too. We are ready to get back in our house though, be done with our builder, and make it our home again.

Jeremy is going to be helping me with content and posts about what’s happening with our little family, so hopefully we’ll have lots of great things to share with you soon. I’ll also be posting some highlights from the last year as well, I can’t wait to share what we’ve been up to! With 2 kids 5 and under, working remotely, managing a renovation, and living away from home – life has been a lot to handle, to say the least.

I hope regardless of what is happening in the world today, you’re happy and staying healthy. Thanks for sticking with us!
