Celebrated a major moment the other day…
Yes, it was my birthday, but the real celebration was that after two years of renovations and rental hopping, my family and I finally moved back into our home.
This house has been in the family for over 50 years, and it’s always been a dream of mine to reimagine and rebuild it. Teaming up with my mom to see it through has been one of my greatest achievements. It’s by far the most adult thing I’ve ever done!
We still have a ways to go—the house is still being worked on, and I’ll eventually be transforming my garage into a studio (might document that one… stay tuned!). As pretty much anyone who has endured renovations would say, this has been the most stressful, expensive, choice-ridden undertaking, especially while touring in between, but so worth it 🥹
Big 🫂 to for the very seasonal persimmon upside-down birthday cake and bonus mango coconut tart 🎂🥭🥰
And s/o to my Wolf 6-burner, the greatest gift of all! Get ready for some cooking content 👩🏽🍳
