Hello Everyone!
I’m Hali {pronounced hay-lee}, and this is my space where I document the best and worst of life. Along with sharing home improvement projects, home style updates, women’s fashion tips, and general life stories, I like to keep things on Dammit, Hali real. I am not afraid to be vulnerable.
Over the years I have shared about my experience as a motherless daughter, my relationship and marriage to my wonderful husband, the process of buying our first home and slowly renovating it to make it a space we never want to leave, our journey trying to conceive, the miscarriage of our first baby, and my pregnancy with our son.
We welcomed our son, Jack, in February 2020, and I have been sharing my experiences as a new mama along the way.
Then, to keep things interesting, Justin and I sold our home in Kannapolis, NC, in July and relocated our little family to Raleigh, NC. We completed construction on our new home in early 2021 and are excited to be turning our builder-grade space into a reflection of our family through DIY projects, home styling updates and lots of heart.
I value true connections, so please feel free to reach out and say hi — I would love that!
Now, a little about who I am.
My eyebrows never match, my hair gets washed (maybe) twice a week, I am perpetually late to work, I would rather cut off my leg than shave it, I prefer rain clouds to sunshine, and I live in a constant state of hanger. But, I wake up each day and give it my best. Or, I just say f*ck it and drink coffee until it’s culturally acceptable to switch to wine.
And that is Dammit, Hali.
But, where does “Dammit, Hali” come from?
As a child growing up in the mountains of western North Carolina, I always knew I was in trouble or had done something particularly foolish when I heard the words “Dammit, Hali” leave my dad’s mouth in his slow, southern style.
Even though I am grown now and haven’t lived in the same small town as him for quite some time, I still hear “Dammit, Hali” when I call him up and say something like “Dad, I didn’t know what that little light meant on my car’s dashboard when it came on two days ago and now I have a flat tire.”
Yeah, foolish. Dammit, Hali.
