📍 Grand Teton National Park We’ve had the most in 📍 Grand Teton National Park

We’ve had the most incredible few days here!

For anyone planning a trip, here’s the itinerary that worked really well for our family. We’re traveling with three young kiddos and this schedule was perfect.

Day 1
- Up early for Jenny Lake (we were in the parking lot by 7am…it fills up fast!)
- Took the shuttle across the lake
- Hiked to Hidden Falls and Inspiration Point
- Picnic lunch
- Explored Mormon Row
- Stopped at Snake River Overlook
- Visited Oxbow Bend
- Tried to visit Schwabacher Landing, but it was unfortunately closed.

Day 2
- Early morning hike around String Lake
- Walked over to Leigh Lake, where the kids splashed their feet in the freezing cold water...they loved it.
- Spent the evening in Jackson and had a fabulous dinner, shopped, and soaked up the atmosphere. We can’t wait to come back!

This park has been unreal.

Next up...Yellowstone! I’ll be sharing our favorite stops and itinerary there, too.

Save this for your next trip to Grand Teton 🤍

If you’re building or renovating a home, there are dozens of decisions that need to be made long before paint colors, furniture, and decor. The truth is, some of the most expensive mistakes happen before construction even begins 😬

This checklist walks you through the key decisions to think through before you break ground...from layout and storage to lighting, flooring, cabinetry, plumbing fixtures, and all the details that impact how your home will function for years to come.

This is what we’ve dreamed about for a long time. This is what we’ve dreamed about for a long time.

Slow mornings with coffee on the deck...forest views in every direction.. nights by the fire...and a quiet little corner of the Red River Gorge.

Sycamore is opening soon, and we cannot wait to share it with you 🤍

I turned 40 yesterday and it got me thinking… I u I turned 40 yesterday and it got me thinking…

I used to think if life didn’t go according to plan…then somehow I had missed it.

But the older I get, the more I realize…some of God’s best gifts came through the things I never would’ve chosen myself.

The detours.
The waiting.
The doors that closed.
The seasons that felt really quiet.

Meanwhile, He was building something so much better than what I could see at the time.

A family I love more than anything.
A home full of life and chaos and peace all at the same time.
Work that lets me create and connect with people every single day.
Clients all over the country that trust me with their homes…which still feels crazy to say out loud.

And this little community here…I’ll never be able to explain how grateful I am for all of you. Thank you for being here through every chapter!

40 feels really sweet 🤍
