happy fall decorating

We had our first dinner guests last night! It was super fun to host and even more exciting to get our house ready for guests! I got to go to Bed Bath & Beyond and Target and shop for new, holiday appropriate table ware and accessories! Woohoo!!! Our apartment is slowly, but surely, feeling more like home! Here are some pictures of a few updates I pulled together last night and some we did a few weeks ago.

I bought these initials back in September. Now we'll never get our towels confused :)




I finally got some of our wedding pictures printed in frame-able sizes! Though our collage is not finished, I'm happy with the progress!





Another necessary need we finally filled was something for our "foyer". A place to drop keys, mail, notes and laundry money. We bought the window frame in New Orleans and the shelf and basket from Target. I love it! 



I updated our couch pillows yesterday as well! I love all the different colors! 


If y'all follow any home decorating blogs, you'll probably notice a lot of homeowners like to decorate their mantels for different seasons and holidays. Well, we don't have a mantel, so I turned the top of my hope chest into a makeshift mantel. Here it is with some new fall decorations!




Finally, our dining room table! This table was donated to us from someone at our church and I really love it. We only have 5 chairs for it, but 3 leaves, so it has the capacity to fit a lot of people! I was so excited to get a new tablecloth and fun accessories for the middle. I'm hosting Thanksgiving this year (crazy!) so I'm really excited to use this for the next few months!





Next up definitely needs to be some paint on those walls! Everything is white or beige!! 
Any color suggestions?

Happy Fall Decorating!!!

going public

Well...there is not really any other way to say this but... Aaron and I are having a BABY! Yep, Baby Schultz should be arriving this Labor Day. We could not be more thrilled about the news! Once we got through the 12-week ultrasound, which is what this picture is from, we were ready to spread the news! I know there are still lots of people who should have gotten phone calls, and for that I apologize that you are finding out now, but I was just ready to get it out there! And now I will answer the questions that typically follow up this kind of announcement. 1. Were you trying? Well....not exactly. From the beginning I have felt pretty strongly that we were not in control of this whole baby-making situation. I have known many women who got pregnant on birth control, or when they didn't even know they could, and those who "planned" it and then it has taken longer than hoped. I've just always been pretty sure that when the Lord determined we were ready, He'd

spill about your LOVE link-up

I'm linking up with A. Liz Adventures today for this fun little questionnaire!  {1} Describe your dating life prior to finding your husband/boyfriend/fiance. I had 2 serious relationships before meeting Aaron, one in high school (as serious as that can be, ha!) and one in college. Before meeting Aaron, I had been single for about 3 1/2 years. {2} Describe your husband/boyfriend/fiance in one word. How would he describe you in one word?   The word I always use to describe Aaron is steady. He is the calm to my crazy. Also, is faith is the most consistent and steadfast I've ever seen. He says to describe me in 1 word is too hard.  {3} You had a really silly fight. Embarrassing silly. What was it about? Our most frequent fight is over the dishes. And that seems silly to me.  {4} In three sentences (and only three!), describe where you both hope to be in 5 years. Surrounded by family and friends, probably with another child, in a house with a front porch

mid-month confessions

Y'all. I am SO excited for the return of mid-month confessions!! Elizabeth, over at Teaching Sam & Scout , used to do mid-week confessions that I linked up for a couple of times before her original blog shut down. Since starting at a new space and kind of rebranding herself, she's decided to get them going again, but once a month instead of once a week. AND she's partnered up with one of my best girls from Clemson, Heather! I'm really looking forward to this link-up each month! - First, I have to say, today was just one of those days, so this might be brief. - On Sunday, our youngest child, Ben (4 weeks) spit up straight into the mouth of our friend Geoff who was holding him. Yes, possibly more embarrassing for Geoff, but I felt terrible!   - When I wrote our family goals for 2015 on the blog, I purposefully left off one thing; brush Canon's teeth once a day. YES, I know. We're terrible and haven't quite worked it into our routines yet so
