Thank you Select Blinds for sponsoring this post.  It took me a long time to choose blinds for our new home. I was intimidated by the entire process of buying blinds online.

What To Expect When Building A New House | Part 1

December 26, 2017April 22, 2019 - Sarah 10 Comments
What to expect when building a new home. - Wisconsin Lifestyle Blogger -

When my husband and I started looking into our next home, we weren’t really considering building a house. But, in an aggressive real estate market we couldn’t find an existing home that met our wants and needs. We stumbled upon a listing for a new build that wasn’t quite finished. The listing stated that thereRead more

One day, the balloons will come down and the gifts
One day, the balloons will come down and the gifts will be opened, but I hope the feeling of waking up to birthday magic is something she’ll always remember. ✨

Happy birthday to my sweet girl. Creating these little traditions is one of the greatest joys of motherhood. 💗🎈

Someday.

I remember sitting in college earning my degree in Journalism & Mass Communication thinking maybe I’d work for a magazine someday. I imagined writing about beautiful homes, celebrations, and everyday life.

Turns out, life had a different plan.

Years ago, I started a little blog called Mrs. Harmy. Inspired by HGTV and stacks of home magazines, I dreamed of creating something of my own. Eventually that dream evolved into SUGARMAPLEnotes, a lifestyle brand that gave me the freedom to share the things I genuinely love: family, home, books, holidays, Midwest life, and all the little moments in between.

People say you need a niche, but I could never fit my life into one box. I’ve always wanted to share what inspires me and what real life looks like.

And now, this little office.

From an unfinished basement… to drywall… to a space that’s completely my own.

When I graduated, I never imagined I’d be working from home, building my own business, and creating a schedule flexible enough to be present for my family. Sure, there are deadlines and responsibilities, but there’s also freedom. And that’s something I don’t take for granted.

This little nook isn’t just an office.

It’s a reminder that sometimes the dreams you end up living don’t look anything like the ones you originally imagined.

I’m grateful for that. 🤍

Father’s Day gifting just got easier 💙

All sets from Caraway are currently on sale right now, which makes this the perfect time to pick up a gift Dad will actually use (and love) 👔🍳

Even better, code SUGARMAPLENOTES10 stacks on top for an extra 10% off, so it’s a really great time to upgrade the kitchen with something practical, beautiful, and non-toxic.

And I love this part 👇
Customers shopping on the website can also take advantage of limited-time gift with purchase offers:

✨ Orders $495+ receive a free ButcherBox gift (valued at $169)
✨ Orders $795+ receive a free ButcherBox gift + a free Caraway Cast Iron Grill Pan

If you’ve been here a while, you know I’ve been slowly switching our home over to more non-toxic essentials, and Caraway has been a big part of that shift for me. It’s one of those brands that just makes everyday cooking feel better.

If you’re still looking for a Father’s Day gift, this is one of those “he’ll actually use it every day” wins.

I’ve never been to an estate sale, so naturally I had to check one out… 👀

I wandered through rooms of vintage treasures and found a stamped Longaberger basket (please tell me your mom hosted those parties too 😂).

Then, just down the street, I stopped at a rummage sale and scored a brand new TaylorMade golf bag that I still can’t believe I found.

Safe to say this probably won’t be my last estate sale adventure.

❤️ Heart this reel if you love a good thrifted find.
💬 Tell me: What’s the best thing you’ve ever found secondhand?
✨ Follow along for more thrifting, estate sales, and Midwest mom life.

Should I go to another estate sale? Because I think I’m hooked… 👀

I went into TJ Maxx for absolutely nothing… and somehow left with a full bag. 😂

So naturally, I had to show you everything I picked up! A mix of home essentials and a few fun fashion finds for myself because TJ Maxx just has the best random treasures.

And I need your opinion… should I keep or return the chocolate brown purse? 🤎👇

Also, if you want the link to this cute Amazon sweater (it’s lightweight, perfect for summer, and comes in a bunch of colors), just comment SHOP and I’ll send it your way!
