One Piece Swimsuits I love!
Sources Around this time of year, I'm imagining myself on a beach with some cute sunnies and flip-flops, enjoying the sunshine and warmth. Who knows what this summer will bring, but I do plan to have at least a few moment in the sun, and I'm on the hunt for some cute one-piece swimsuits to […]

Casual Friday: What we're looking for in our next house (it's complicated)
My Outfit, Polly's Sneakers One of the questions we are asked repeatedly is, "What are you looking for in your next house?!" A lot of people have asked this and is it too obscure to say "a feeling?" All of our homes have been very different and I suspect our next home will be different […]

Removing the Wallpaper in the Laundry Room
Some of our readers were really apprehensive about us putting up wallpaper in the playroom, Greta's room, Faye's room, and Polly's room, and usually those people have had terrible experiences with removing wallpaper. Now that we have removed the wallpaper in the laundry room, we completely get it. What a pain! You're kind of at […]

Painting our interior Doors Black - I can't believe it took us this long
Polly's Room Sources Something that was on our 2021 project list, was to replace all of our interior doors. But the truth is, they are actually really nice solid wood! So we went the more cost effective route and painted all the interior doors. I knew the moment we walked into this house that the […]

Since we announced our big news, we've been making a list of all the things we want to get done on the house before we sell, and at the top of that list is finishing what we started – the entry/office wall reconfiguration. When we began this project, we were most definitely not planning on […]

Paleo Fried Chicken Lettuce Wraps (gluten free, dairy free, egg free, grain free)
There aren't many foods I enjoy more than fried chicken, though it's obviously not so great for you. But what's life without a little give and take?! For example, batter the chicken, make it gluten/dairy/egg/grain free. Fry the chicken, but opt for lettuce wraps. Something I think gets lost among those of us without food […]

An Impromptu serving board gallery wall in the kitchen (And more ideas for unconventional gallery installations!)
At one point I hung a little asymmetrical art gallery to disguise some wall pimples on this wall going into our kitchen from the front-entry hallway. Well, recently I stole THAT art (and more) in order to hang the art gallery of my dreams in our bathroom. It didn’t really matter because this wall was […]

Lemon Pepper Salmon (seared salmon with a lemon & pepper sauce)
Fish with lemon pepper seasoning was a staple of my childhood. Growing up in Idaho, all summer long we'd dine on fresh-caught river trout, cooked in a pan with that familiar shaker of McCormmick lemon pepper (still one of my favorite things to have for breakfast). But year round, the same would be applied to […]
