Sneak Peek of My New House

July 22, 2016

Want to see a sneak peek of my new house?!  We’ve been building our dream home for a while now.  It took forever for the home to be started due to problems with our builder.  My husband ended up investing in the company a few months ago and things are going much better now and are finally moving along.  As you can imagine, I am thrilled!

I have spent countless hours on Pinterest and Houzz looking for ideas.  I’ve also purchased books and magazine and scoured Google.  I can’t tell you how much time I’ve spent at flooring showrooms, lighting showrooms, walked the aisles of stone slabs and more.  This is our dream home and I’m going to be sure that every single thing is exactly how I want it.  With that being said, lets take a look at a the progress…

hard hat

I had to wear a hard hat at one of the flooring showrooms today. The perfect selfie shot! And yes, I am wearing clothes! LOL! I have on a strapless dress.

I can’t wait to share updates on the progress of my new house with you.  Stay tuned…

Let me know what you think of my new house so far in the comments below!

      Thanks so much Rita! I’m so excited about it. The backyard is going to be amazing… We already have the completed design, but it will be a few months until they start digging the pool and all. I will definitely share more pictures and maybe even a video. Stacie xo

    Wow! Getting a new house built is so fun but stressful! I hope your journey heads more in the fun direction! I love the rock outside. All we have around here is stucco….I miss other types of outside aesthetics. 🙂

    Looking good! We got a new house last year and thought about building, but ultimately didn’t want the stress. We lucked out and found a perfect preexisting one, but it took awhile to get what we wanted!

    How FUN to get to build your dream home! My hubs is in the military for at least the next 8 years….but whenever we finally get out and settle down, we are both definitely looking forward to building the home of our dreams! One pro to always moving from house to house every couple of years — you are able to experience a wide variety of houses and really fine-tune your wish list! 😛

Just a few of the gems I picked up from the Nordst Just a few of the gems I picked up from the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale 💛 

After trying on a dozen dresses, these two made the cut (I’m 5’1” and 60 years old) as well as this gorgeous new bag that I couldn’t resist. Classic, versatile, and a little fun—just how I like it!

✨ Which look is your favorite? Tell me in the comments and let me know if you’re shopping the sale too!

Bonus, both dresses are under $100 and I know I’ll wear them for a long time to come. Let me know if you want the links.💖

At 60 years old, I’m walking with intention — At 60 years old, I’m walking with intention — and a weighted vest. Adding this simple tool to my daily walk is already making a difference in how I feel, move, and show up for myself.

Here’s why women over 50 might want to give it a try:
1️⃣ Supports Bone Health: Extra weight = gentle resistance = stronger bones = less chance of fractures in the future.
2️⃣ Improves Muscle Tone & Posture: Great for balance and core strength.
3️⃣ Burns More Calories: A simple walk becomes a low-impact strength workout.
P.S. It’s great for men & women of all ages!💪🏼

It’s never too late to level up your wellness routine. And you can get the benefits while doing your house chores, going up and down stairs, gardening, etc. for even more opportunities to improve bone density.

Do you walk with a weighted vest too? I’d love to hear how it’s helped you!

Comment LINK for more information on this particular vest and why I purchased it after a lot of research.💗 (be sure to follow to receive my message with the link).⚠️
