• Happy Friday! This week I feel like I got my groove back. I got back into my normal early morning gym sessions, drinking my celery juice first thing, getting ready for the workday and heading down to my office by 8:30. It felt good to be productive and tackling my to-do lists. One of […]

Hanging Curtains on Bunk Beds
About a month ago, our girls started taping blankets to their bunks to make forts and hide outs and they were having the most fun ever but it left their room (and the playroom--the source of all the blankets) in complete disarray, and it lasted WEEKS and weeks, not to mention the tape supply was […]

The Craziest 6 Days leading up to Hosting our First time at the Cabin
6 days before hosting over Christmas, the painting finished. Then countertops went in. I had my mom and sister spend the day up there one day just deep cleaning and then two days before we hosted family for the holidays, we moved back in the furniture. Some was new, some came with the […]

Painting the Wood Walls and Toning/De-Oranging the Beams at our A-frame
Right before Christmas, literally a week!, we had the main space in our a-frame painted. We were thinking about it for awhile and then it hit us--as soon as we start moving furniture in (we were hosting family starting the 23rd) it was going to become a lot more difficult to ever do it. So […]

Ranking all the Mrs. Meyer's Scents
This post is sponsored by Grove Collaborative. Everyone loves Mrs. Meyers--heck, I even saw it at a few Favorite Things parties over the holidays. We use the multi-surface spray daily and religiously for everything from cleaning our counters and high chair to cleaning bathrooms. And sometimes I just spray it in the air before company […]

Our cabin has three levels, the main level, basement and loft.

Our Pendleton Covered Buck has Arrived (& Big Changes We're making to the Interior of the A-frame)
A couple weeks ago, our custom deer from Faraway Lovely arrived and last week we hung in on the main fireplace at the cabin. The pictures don't do it justice (the renovation debris doesn't help), but I couldn't keep it to myself any longer. It's such a special, hand-crafted piece--hand-crafted right here in Idaho!-- that […]
