Monday Musings 010

September 19, 2016/ Treana Bennett

YOWZA! We've been busy and fighting colds since we got back from Portland so here is a quick and snappy musing.

If you have not watched Ali Wong's Baby Cobra standup. What are you doing to your life? Watch when kids are asleep, you're a glass of wine into your evening, and your hubby is on the computer. :)

Lyla stuff! I ordered her Halloween costume, I love this portable high chair for her for travelling and eating out (we've used it a ton), and after a ton of research on excema creams that are safe/as non-chemical as possible I ordered some of this for her.

Another rad frame from Umbra.

We are only two months from the Gilmore Girls: Seasons. TWO MONTHS. My excitement for this cannot be overstated.

I was able to order this coffee table shouted out by Chris Loves Julia before the jerk raised the price to $600 because he got some press. I don't know if it is going in the living room or bar room yet, but I am stoked to add in some texture.

We had our open house yesterday and I am more in love with our house than ever before. What a great gathering space!

THIS IS BRILLIANT! And so is this! Cheap artwork/free artwork.

This video does a good job explaining my obsession with Alexa... and now Dot.

House of Bennetts

Hey now. I'm Treana...welcome to my little slice of the internet where I get to use exclamation points with abandon!!! We do more here than overuse certain forms of punctuation. Around these parts you'll find DIY projects, budgeting ups and downs and tools, photography fun, food goodness, music loves, and hopefully a little inspiration. We talk about anything and everything here and hope that you'll join us in our mutual weirdness we call life. For more about us, our wedding, and our lives, visit the 'Bout the Bennetts page. (I so wanted to put an exclamation point there).

Hello Doug. Welcome home. We waited almost two years exactly to bring home a dog since we lost Walter. If his cuteness is any indication, we’re all gonna be fine here. #dougthedoodle #sweetdog @walkingwithwalterdenver

Happy Halloween from our Elsa girl. I pitched all the other things: doctor, snowman, teacher, paw patrol, truck. But nope. She wanted Elsa. #halloweencostume

It’s the thing I look forward to every birthday for the past ten years: my father in law always calls and sings me Happy Birthday with some pizzaz. Then he and my mother in law tell me how loved and cherished I am. It’s the perfect way to start 34. At this time in life, I’m proud and peaceful- in equal measure. Everything is balanced enough and everyone knows (including myself): we’re okay here. #34flirtyandthriving

This little snow baby is so lucky to have her dad. He’s taken on raising her full time, just took on boarding a dog for his business @walkingwithwalterdenver, and has still been organizing our new house. I’m proud of the two of them like woah. And I miss them. I miss them a lot. @robrich23

This group. These humans. These mommas. These friends. We’ve been at life together for upwards of ten years and we’re still banging into each other just trying to figure it all out. I love them. I love us. I love the sisterhood. The tribe. @sammikitch @lwbranz @mrs_ashleyf #momfriends #youbitches

My very strong, smart, resilient, adaptable, champ of a Coloradan. She amazes me everyday with how she processes change and information. I’m so proud of her. #youdownwithlmb #coloradogirl

Sitting here today to sell my house. I thought I’d feel some nostalgia. Some sadness about the end of our stay at what we thought was our dream house. I feel pure relief. Joy. Excitement. Steadiness. This behemoth of a house became such a burden and shifting it to someone who may better be able to manage it, is a relief. I’m ready to go to the pool with my husband and daughter, drink some wine, and pack like mad. I’m ready to close this chapter and move on to our future with a new business and my little family having learned a very hard but great lesson: that voice is always the universe whispering to you that it’s not right and, if you’re lucky like me, you get a chance to make it right again. Onwards. Next. Forward. #housesale #byeparker #wewillmissthehelloutofourneighbors
