Casual Friday: Entry update!, Bear Lake, CLJ GIFS!!! & MORE!
Last weekend, we went a couple hours south to the small town of Fish Haven, Idaho right on Bear Lake and spent some time connecting as a family. The Airbnb we rented had access to a private beach and it was peaceful and wonderful to be able to feel like we're on a vacation for […]

The Playroom Makeover has begun + Mood board!!!
Excited to be back from a long weekend with family (and then a days of server issues! blergh!). We jumped right into a playroom makeover and I'm so excited about this direction. "Playroom" is a generous term, it's more of a toy room. Or play space. One of the very first spaces I organized when […]

Green Curry Clams & Mussels
My family doesn't care for seafood or spicy food, but sometimes I need to make something just for me. And this is a forever favorite. Next time you have an evening to yourself, or a like-minded friend coming over for casual conversation, give this dish a whirl. So much flavor, easy to make, but presents […]

Casual Friday: The Best of July & Buyers' Remorse
July was filled with highs and lows. It was the month that really felt like summer filled with eating outside and swimming and soaking in family time. But it was also the month our emotions got the best of us. To be honest, we experienced heavy feelings of buyers' remorse as we looked around, an entire year […]

Our Almost-Black Painted Playset!
This week, we worked on a 3-day playset refresh in our backyard and we're all so excited with how it turned out. Our girls are always playing on this playset that was left here (and possibly built by) the previous owners. We gave the playset in our last house a refresh to match our home and we […]

My friend Marco Polo'd me from her new house earlier this week. She walked me through room by room showing me everything they have done and wanted to do. When she got to her daughters' room, she stopped, "Look at the curtains--did we do them wrong? They are just huggggginnnggg the window and look weird." […]

12 Dark Exterior Paint Colors We're Loving--In Action!
We're very close to choosing an exterior paint color. We have gone from wanting something charcoal to deep black and back to charcoal again. We're going to do a trial run of one of these colors today! But I couldn't keep all of our research to myself. Finding exterior photos (good ones!) with paint colors […]

Painting the Guest Room Dark + My Paint Formula for Walls and Trim!
Last weekend, we painted the guest room a dark, inky charcoal--Farrow & Ball's Downpipe (this time we had it color matched at Sherwin Williams in an eggshell finish). I wanted to go for something dark in a blueish tone so the headboard would melt right into it and to be honest, the treadmill too. The […]

Veggie Bowls with Fire Roasted Salsa
The battle to eat more vegetables is an uphill one, to say the least. Modern meals are centered around the protein (usually meat of some kind), starch (grain or potatoes), with a small portion of vegetables on the side. We're all familiar with those sad few spears of asparagus tucked next to our 12oz steak […]

Demo on our bathroom happened this week and it was so shocking to see the space after it was completely cleared. I actually gasped. It seems to have grown 10x!
