Happy Monday friends! Hope everyone had a lovely weekend, it was gorgeous here on the OBX. I've never done a "loving lately" post but I love to see what other people are loving so maybe you'll like to see mine.  1. Magnolia Table Hands down my favorite cookbook! It's so beautiful and well illustrated. Unfortunately, life has been so busy I haven't even had a chance yet to try out a new recipe. I'll keep ya'll posted though with my Magnolia Table review soon. 2. Cuisinart Knife Block Set     I had never seen white knives like theses before until I was just scrolling through amazon one day and stumbled upon them. They are beautiful and incredibly good quality, considering they're only $60! They cut so well! I get attached to my kitchen knives, they've got to be super sharp. I want to be able to cut through a piece of paper if i'm feeling it. I 10/10 recommend these knives, you can purchase them  here. 3. Mark Anthony

Hey ya'll! Sorry for going missing for about a week. My husband have been keeping a 4 year old little boy to help out his parents and that's a big adjustment for us. We still currently have him and I just couldn't juggle him, blogging, work, and just everyday household chores. So, I decided to get up early and give a little house update. We are about to have a roof! We have our rafters and ceiling joists up and this weekend we (hopefully) will complete the plywood on the rood so this coming week we can get the inspection and carry on our way. All the holes for windows are not cut out yet. There are two windows on both sides for the front door, spaced symmetrically.    This picture is before the roof had even been started i believe. Maggie loves her house already tough, and i really wanted to share. Monday, April 30th, I celebrated my 23rd birthday! Nothing big, because we're trying to save money for our house. We did though, have our first dinner
