This photo is in honor of how prickly I was today 🌵😂 For real though: first stress panic of the year—check! ✔️ Work deadlines are looming and even though I’m a project manager by day, I’m trying hard to remember that the only thing I can truly contro… https://t.co/MrJlMHerBG

I made it to day 7 of #januarywhole30 in one piece!👏 But, truth is, I ate out for dinner twice in 6 days (shout out to @cava and @chipotle for being amazing and having awesome @whole30 options!), and have @territoryfoods to thank for keeping me fed a… https://t.co/lYSu6IMVXW

Starting the New Year off right—with an awesome head cold. ���� I hate feeling crummy and I’m so rarely sick that both bottles of NyQuil in our medicine cabinet had expired over 2 years ago. But on a positive note, @nicholasrespecki is sick too, so we’r… https://t.co/vKBSB3divz

Starting the New Year with this crazy guy, and we’re back on our bullsh*t, knocking down walls and stuff. 😜 ⁣⁣

We started a bathroom reno a couple days ago, and well, it’s turned into a little more than that—okay maybe a lot more. But I’m ha… https://t.co/Wv2teNrkTU

Remember when we tiled this backsplash? Getting pretty excited because we’ve got a new reno project with lots of tile work up our sleeves. Any guesses?!⁣

This one’s in honor of all you parents— er, Santas!—up late tonight 🤫🎄🎅⁣

My siblings are 8 and 10 years younger than I am so I helped my parents play Santa for so many years (you’re welcome @austin_j_wilson & @heyabbywilson!). But I probably … https://t.co/E1CDpAGSfj

Ho, Ho, Ho! 🎅 Pass the Merlot...or Cabernet 🙋‍♀️, or cocktail, or bubbly, or sparkling juice... Whatever you choose, cheers to making it to Christmas Eve in one piece! 🥂⁣

We finished wrapping gifts yesterday and are officially road tripping to the mitten state! Wrapped our nephew’s gift yesterday and my widest roll of paper didn’t cut it on coverage 🤨 Parents: is there a secret type of wrapping paper for giant toy box… https://t.co/wu8sWnuIeY

Officially on “Christmas break!” Feeling like I’m back in school but instead of plans to see family and old friends back in my hometown, I’ll be rocking comfy clothes and chugging hot chocolate in this cozy little home with my two favorites—looking at yo… https://t.co/gsIEBQxEHZ

I had a brutal, emotionally-draining week. A weird encounter at work had me feeling crappy about being *me*, and just generally out of place. I was questioning my values, especially around authenticity, had to defend my character and actions, and was cha… https://t.co/YsJuctfzkO

Here’s hoping you got *at least* a decent cup of ☕️ on this Monday morning. If you got the world’s best cup, you were either hanging out with Elf or @nicholasrespecki made you @swingscoffee this morning too and ummmm, how?! ⁣

To do:⁣

Okay, now it *really* looks like Christmas over here! 😍🎄We tried to keep it minimal, but mannnn do we own a lot of Christmas decor. Do you use ALL of your holiday decor each year, and in the same way?! We’ve had so many, “what did we do last year?” m… https://t.co/g947oFqRqK

It looks like Christmas at #therespeckireno, but I promise it smells like Thanksgiving! But these are just little touches of the holiday...that have been up for a week and a half 😂 We may have laid it on thick since—#noregrets. All over social, peopl… https://t.co/hp8FT4YReL

It’s...been a tough year. But it’s also been a really rewarding year too. Specifics don’t matter today. All that matters is that we’re spending our 7 year wedding anniversary, together. I probably say this a lot, but I’m so grateful I get to do life with… https://t.co/aYeEhQFikR
