The Pillow That Changed My Sleep
I'm a side and back sleeper and have always had the hardest time finding a pillow. So many are not supportive enough, and you wake up with a literal pain in the neck. Last year I ordered this queen-sized cervical neck pillow from Amazon on a whim. Let me just tell you, it has changed […]

Turning a Window into a new Exterior Door for the Mudroom
With every change we make to our house, we're always looking to solve problems and make our home work for us and our family in the most beautiful way we can think up. This time, a door was (literally) opened when we turned a window in the former laundry room/now mudroom into a functional entryway! […]

Mixed Berry Dump Cake (Grain-Free, Dairy-Free)
I don't bake often (I like to be more freeform with my recipes than baking allows), but when I do, I like to make something like this. A super-simple, fruit-forward dessert that's not too sweet, but packed with flavor. The best part? It's gluten-free, dairy-free, and only takes less than 5 minutes of active work […]

The "Back-to-School" Home Reset
Even as an adult, there's something so fun about the back-to-school season. I love decluttering desks, packing backpacks, and filling lunch boxes — it feels like everything topsy-turvy about summer is rooted in routine again. Greta is headed off to high school this year (how did that happen so fast!?), and Faye and Polly are […]

Roasted Potatoes and Brussels Sprouts with Red Pepper Sauce
Jules has really been into Brussels sprouts lately (as she showed in our fridge tour), and while she could eat them the same way every day, if I'm gonna enjoy it then I gotta mix it up. Roasted potatoes and Brussels sprouts are a timeless pair - add a roasted red pepper sauce and this […]

All of the Black Sunglasses in My Closet
One of the most frequent DMs I get is about what sunglasses I'm wearing. When I look at my sunglass stash in my closet, it becomes clear to me that I definitely have a "type" — the large, cat-eye, all-black look is usually my go-to! Occasionally I'll branch out, but I just love the classic, retro […]

The Best of July
July was the peak of summer in all the best ways! We intentionally slowed down a little this month, which included going off the grid at a beautiful mountainside lake and a trip to Idaho to see friends and family. We did a few house projects, like adding wallpaper to Greta's room, painting our front door, and […]

As I mentioned earlier this week, kitchen styling is about clearing the clutter and intentionally making the utilitarian workhorses of your kitchen into your most beautiful decor — whether that's the cutting board, the tea kettle, or the fruit bowl. Then you can layer in the elements that are typically found in more formal entertaining […]
