Bruce and I keep looking at each other trying to figure out what we've done. Just months ago we were planning on staying in our town home and living our normal life. In the blink of an eye we put an offer in on a house that was 100% a fixer upper. While we are obviously fans of Chip & Jo, we never thought we would take on a project as large as a fixer upper especially during my busy season for work, the holidays, and my third trimester! Yet here we are. This process has been such a ... continue reading...
Happy Birthday Bruce
Thirty One. I love growing old with you Bruce Mayberry. What a year this will be. New house, new baby, and so many new memories!

Christmas Bucket List + Free Download

We'll get a Winter one going once Autumn is over and recapped, but I just had to make one for Christmas all on its own! I love this time of the year so much. I used to be a bit embarrassed about wanting to start planning and celebrating early, but now I just rock it. Bruce and I are not exactly on the same boat when it comes to this but we compromise. We do tree and house decorations after ... continue reading...
Date Night at AR Workshop
You guys keep asking for more marriage content so here it is! I guess for so long I felt too much like a newlywed to share advice on the topic. Or maybe I felt that marriage advice is the only type of marriage content to share on a blog. Either way, I'm inspired and ready to tackle marriage content here on Oak + Oats! ;) Starting with a new series that will be once-a-month (ish) about our Date Nights! We're on year 8 of marriage (which probably is no longer considered newlywed! haha!) and we ... continue reading...
