In the days leading up to the move, the house was a flurry of activity with the final, finishing touches being completed (carpet, appliances, alarm, A/C inspector, ensuring all lighting worked and all outlets functioned). Here’s a little tour of what the place looked like just before we moved in. You’ll see that there are still a few things unfinished, like the hood in the kitchen and window blinds/shutters are missing. We didn’t order the shutters (for the master bedroom and bath) until recently, and, apparently, they take 6-8 weeks to fabricate and install, so we are now living with the paper shades until September.

Hi friends! Happy Halloween! I’m sending a darling pumpkin and Paul McCartney to school today, then will be back later for the costume contest and class parties. The kids at…
A few decorating touches have been added recently at our house.. For the living room, I found some tall sticks at Hobby Lobby ($11 a bunch, 3 bunches) for the…
How’s your week going friends?  I’m just over here counting down the days ’til the 2017 Nordstrom Anniversary Sale like a kid at Christmas!  It’s so close, opening this Thursday for cardholders.  ??I got a friendly letter in the mail letting me know they upped my limit just in time for the sale- #thankyouverymuch!  We’ll keep this little detail to ourselves and not bother the hubby with that tidbit of info!  😉  Are you excited?!?! Of course, I’ll be sharing my picks on Thursday and then a big ‘ole dressing room round up on Friday with fit tips and recommendations. Let me know what you have questions about and I’ll do my best investigative journalism for ya!
This swingy striped! cold shoulder dress is perfect for daytime or evenings out. Â Love the simplicity of it and the drapey fabric. Â Such a steal at right under $50! Â For a daytime look, you could wear it with the #10 sandals (they have lots of colors) & for evening, these black open toe heeled sandals would be great.
Show off your summer mani with this gorgeous, chic statement ring! I like to wear it on my first or middle finger on my right hand with a bold bracelet.
I’m sure you’ve heard me rave about this maxi dress before. Â Every time I wear it, I get tons of compliments and it’s really flattering and comfortable. Â It’s on sale under $40! Â I wear XS.
High waist leggings will be your BFF, I swear! Â They keep you all nice and tucked in and make you feel great while working out. Â Zella quality is always superb, and this pair comes in three colors with criss-cross detail at the calf. Â They run TTS, I wear size XS.
Although I normally wear a tank to workout, this Zella tee is my go-to when I want a t-shirt. Â The seams in the shirt are perfectly placed to help the illusion of a smaller waist and I like the cut of the sleeves that don’t irritate me when I’m working out.
My go-to tank, $11!!! Â I think I need to stock up on the other colors. Â It’s perfect for wearing alone or layering under cardigans or other tops. Â It fits TTS, XS here.
I have the older version of these sandals and they are really good! They come in tons of colors and the “beige leather” has a snakeskin pattern that goes with everything. Â Sam Edelman makes quality shoes that last, so I highly recommend them!
Last week, I challenged myself to five days in a row of group exercise classes. I was feeling like I needed to push myself more with my workouts and thought…
Hi friends! ? How was your weekend? Â We’re actually on Day 4 of a long weekend here, so James is home from school and we are supposed to be getting…

Hi! I’m Megan, mom to a thoughtful teenager and spunky young girl. We call Houston home and recently moved into our dream home. I traded my lawyer hat to become a full-time blogger in 2010. I love sharing my passion for affordable fashion, home decor, organization, & fitness to help inspire you to take care of you!
Oh super nice..Your kitchen looks great! I almost got those same lights as a matter of fact, but them I couldn't stop thinking of the other ones, so…. :)))
Your home is gorgeous, the closet…WOW!!! Love the classic finishes throughout that have a wonderfully chic and updated look! Enjoy every moment in this home! Janell
Your house is TO DIE FOR!!!! Liam's nursery was exactly the same color scheme as James'. How funny! You'll have to come over to my blog and check it out… it's under my OC Townhouse: Ready To Sell post. And that closet… O.M.G.
I love your new home! It just looks so stunningly beautiful! It's nice to know that you've picked the right house for you and your family. And just like you, we've also bought a new home here in Edmonton. Mortgage brokerhome loans (Alberta) helped us in making us have this wonderful home.

Have you hung anything on the curved wall along the stairs? It looks similar to ours. I would love to see what you've come up with!
