My little Family:)
In my early newlywed excursions I am happily enjoying attempts at domesticity.. and think I do a pretty decent job outside of my overt OCD in concerns with the order of the home (to my husband, I am working on eventually working on this). The whole domestic-stay-at-home-wife-who-cooks-cleans-and-tends-to-children (fur babies in our case) is not exactly how it all goes down for this girl as I have a pretty demanding job, often travel for work and genuinely like what I do... so, the here-and-there attempts at lavish sit down dinners, new home baked-good recipes, knitting sweaters and making curtains are few and far between BUT does happen now and again (well, the dinners at least)!
Within our newlywed adventures, you will find the valid attempts at home renovations and decorating by myself and my amazing husband who has a knack for all things reno-related and has really embraced my desire for change and beauty within the home. We share a similar vision and style that have lovingly molded our home into where it is now. Our home is my favorite place on earth... 99% because of who I share it with and the rest because it tells a story- a really great one!
We have a dog named Gus, a Giant Schnauzer, who may or may not be one of the best parts of my everyday, depending on what mischievous activities he has recently engaged in. He can raise my BP in half of a second and melt my heart within the next- a real roller coster of emotions for this one I tell you... As you might guess, Gus is treated like a child and is our only child/fur baby at this moment. I get it, I get it...from the outside world he may be an obtrusive, smelly, slobbering waste of decent carpet and brand new dark hardwoods, but to me, he is an angel and nothing less.
I have a love-hate relationship with TJMaxx and shopping in general. It sadly is one of my favorite past times, along with decorating, that have now lead me into the dark, scary abyss of attempting to find a hobby that is not revolved around spending the dollars and adding more stuff to our home.. So, if you have any valid suggestions, drop me a note.
With all that good stuff, I am not much into wearing a lot of color or painting any room in our home anything outside of the Gray family (hints the title of the blog), I love food, consider myself a coffee connoisseur (just black coffee but sadly, people CAN screw up black coffee), avid Ice Tea lover (not the rapper), LOVE fashion, makeup and clothing, enjoy reading and spending hours in book stores, love a good bargain but also enjoy a great staple piece that may be a little pricey, extreme and sometimes ridiculous animal lover and a self proclaimed home body.. there is no where else I would rather be on any given night, with my husband and fur-baby!
So, this may or may not be the exciting, exhilarating read you've been scouting for but it is my sounding board for diving into wedded bliss, opinions, decorating, home renovations, clothes, travel humor and photos, products and things I love to love and things I love to hate! Enjoy and feel free to comment:)
