A Very Unedited Tour of Our Pittsburgh Home

This is a post I’ve been wanting to write for a while now: a tour of our home!

The basics

  • Size: 975 square feet
  • Year Built: 1955
  • Bedrooms: 3
  • Bathrooms 1
  • Shared by: Me, my husband, our three kids (ages 6, 2, and 4 months), Siberian husky, and black cat
  • How long we’ve owned our home: 11 years

This is our place. The place where we eat meals, homeschool, pray, play, and live life. Our home has seen Jimmy and I go from newlyweds to parents of three sweet kids. We’ve held gatherings, Bible studies, and events here. Our walls have witnessed sickness, noise, chaos, everyday life, and so much joy.

When I started taking photos for this post, I decided not to edit anything or make things look ~aesthetic~ because that’s not real life. And I always keep it real here! So, welcome to our home 😊

Eggs, Math Games, and Ratatouille

So, I’m curious. What’s the going rate for a dozen eggs where you live? Right now they’re priced crazy high in Pittsburgh. I went to the grocery store and a dozen generic-brand large white eggs were $6.59.

High prices for eggs

What! I feel like I can remember going to the store just last year and finding them for $0.99 when there was a sale. (more…)
