Good morning! I hope you all had a nice weekend! It’s been a rather eventful (and exhausting) week with travel and lots of packing, but moving week has finally arrived! Here’s a bit of what we’ve been up to around here.

Home Projects & Updates
It’s our final week in our Omaha home! I have no idea how the date arrived so quickly, but here we are.
While I was in Dallas for the week, the pool was closed. Kurtis has to drain the pool past all the pipes (usually about 2 feet) and then we have a company come finish the job, including winterizing all the lines and putting the cover on. It’s usually a sad week for us, but we’re excited to move where summer will last much longer than a few months!
My in-laws came to Omaha for the weekend and were a huge help in packing up all of my art! Kurtis’ sister and brother-in-law also rotated in for shifts and we feel really good about where we ended up packing-wise. We still have a lot to do, but feel confident we’ll be prepared when the truck gets loaded on Thursday!
Since the buyers of our home bought some of our decor and furniture, I spent some time last week tagging everything that was staying with some green painters tape. This helped ensure Kurtis didn’t pack anything that needed to stay while I was out of town. But it will also be helpful when we have the movers coming on Thursday to load the truck! The cats are obviously not much help around here 😉
In other home news, Serena & Lily is offering a secret sale for two days with 20% off sitewide (including sale) PLUS free shipping on everything (including furniture) which is super rare to see this combo – it’s usually one or the other! Use code STYLELOVE. You can see all of our S&L favorites in this post. But a large chunk of items in our home are included in the sale!
POOL HOUSE SOURCES: Sofa | Swivel Chairs | Ceiling Fan | Tripod Floor Lamp | Rug | Bamboo Side Table | Bamboo Coffee Table | Striped Pillow Covers | Palm Pillow Covers | Woven Lumbar Pillow Covers | Woven Stools | Faux Greenery Stems | LVP Floors | Dining Table | Woven Chairs | Outdoor Dining Chairs | Star Pendant Light | Similar Faux Greenery | Dipped Vase | Basket Pendant Lights | Aged Brass Star Sconces | Striped Runner Rug | Backless Counter Stools | Cabinet Ball Knobs | Drawer Bin Pulls | Faucet | Counter Depth Fridge | Beverage Fridges | Blue Serving Board | Similar Faux Fan Palms | Blue Vase

In Case You Missed It
Following are the posts I shared over the past two weeks, in case you missed some days!
Following are the most read blog posts of last week (excluding any of the new posts already mentioned above). Many times this includes old posts that are popular on Google or Pinterest.
Around Town & For Fun
I was in Dallas Monday thru Thursday for the LTK conference. If you’re not familiar with LTK, it’s a shopping app full of content from thousands of influencers around the world. We attended classes during the day, and then had events in the evenings, with the final evening being a red carpet and awards show night. It was great to meet so many online friends in person for the first time! These events can always be a little intimidating (since most of the attendees are fashion influencers), but everyone is so nice!
We also got to hear from Shea McGee and I was able to chat with her for a few minutes. It sounds like we’ll be seeing some big inventory improvements with the Target x Studio McGee line in the coming months. She also assured us the line is not going anywhere, and we’ll likely see new collections for some time!
Thursday night when I got home from the conference, Kurtis and I headed down the hill to babysit our goddaughters. We had so much fun with them and it was great to hang out with them one-on-one, which doesn’t happen all that often since we’re usually with their parents too. Zoe asked me several questions about our upcoming move, but she seemed pretty content that we’ll be living near an ocean like Moana does and that she could come visit whenever she wants to!
My inlaws were in town Friday thru Sunday so we had a few family dinners (both at Lazlos). Saturday was my mother-in-law’s birthday so we followed up dinner with mini bundt cakes at our house. Our brother-in-law Pat’s mom, Mary, was also able to join us both evenings! It was fun to break up the full days of packing with fun dinners!
We’re predicting a stressful and emotional week ahead, as moves always tend to be. But, we feel like we’re in a good position packing-wise, and just have some odds and ends to wrap up.
Not sure if I mentioned this previously, but we’ll then be flying BACK to Omaha next Friday (a week after our move) for our friend’s birthday. Kurtis has some work events the following week that he’ll need to attend here, as well. I’ll only be in town for three days (still working on a Florida cat sitter) and Kurtis will hang around the following week. It’s going to be pretty action-packed the next few weeks as we try and get settled into our new home.
Funny enough, it seems like November and December will be the calm months for us, which is usually the opposite of how it goes with the holidays! But we’re looking forward to getting settled and really starting to make Florida feel like home!

The LTK conference sounds like it was wonderful.
I am interested in Shea’s comment–the line with Target would see some inventory improvements, does this mean more inventory? Hope so!

You two will be in my thoughts and prayers these upcoming days!
