A lifestyle blog following my journey as a physician-scientist, real estate investor, and mother.
After 7 weeks, I finally took my Step 1 exam. It feels so good to be done. Second year was a whirlwind and I took a step back from writing blog posts to focus on school. Now, I’m getting ready to transition into my PhD phase and with that hopefully I’ll get back to writing regularly. While I was eyes deep in studying, something exciting also happened: We got another property! The Queens duplex is […]

It’s week five of the One Room Challenge! If you’re new to the challenge, twice a year, in the spring and fall, 20 featured designers and hundreds of bloggers/instagrammers as guest participants take 6-weeks to redesign one room! It’s hard to believe it’s already the final week of this challenge. I’ll have quite a bit to do this week to make this room happen. But I’m ready to push through and do what I can […]
It’s week four of the One Room Challenge! If you’re new to the challenge, twice a year, in the spring and fall, 20 featured designers and hundreds of bloggers/instagrammers as guest participants take 6-weeks to redesign one room! These weeks are just flying by. It’s really been a challenge trying to keep on track with this room makeover and I’d have to say I’ve definitely fallen behind.

I’m so excited to share that we will be joining in on the Fall 2018 One Room Challenge! I saw Laura Sima over at Our Fifties Fixer Upper post about the One Room Challenge on Instagram back in the beginning of September. I was like, wait, this is a great idea!

This summer has just flown by and I can’t believe I’ve already finished the first week of my second year of medical school! I wanted to take some time to share what I’ve been up to this summer. We’ve moved into the house! Finally. I’m using the term “moved into” loosely here. We’re living in the house, but it’s far from finished. When I was talking to my mom back in January about my older […]

Now that we’re getting into May, it’s nice to finally see that the main bathroom renovation is coming to a close! It’s been a long process and we still have a lot to do. But we’ve learned a ton along the way, sometimes the hard way. It’s also surreal approaching the end of the main bathroom renovation. It feels like we’ve been […]

There are quite a few things that we need or want to do immediately, but there are others that will be projects to complete along the way. Either way, we need to stay organized, keep our renovation on track, and keep on budget. Here are some things we […]
