Do You Have Salt Lamps in your Home? (We can't get enough!)
This post is sponsored by Walmart Are you on the salt lamp train? Admittedly, at first I thought, "are these the new lava lamps...orrrr?" And then Chris reminded me that he switched to cooking with only Himalayan salt years ago due to all the benefits. So, I'm here today to shout from the rooftops that, okay, […]

6 Years of Our Reading Room
Last year, I shared an evolution over the years of our living room and then a few weeks ago, I found some old (low quality--sorry!) photos of our home before we bought it and I have been having so much fun walking down memory lane. You know how everyone is sharing the How Aging has […]

Thai White Fish Curry
A quick, light, delicious Thai coconut curry you can whip up in less than 30 minutes. We eat ours with riced cauliflower, but steamed jasmine rice is another great option as well. Easy to make, lots of flavor, and comforting. This dish can be completed, start to finish, in less than 30 minutes and will […]

All the Faux Plants all over our Home
It's like this--we have a lot of faux plants around here. Nothing gives me greater joy than a real bunch of freshly cut branches or a small potted plant, but the truth is I'm not the best at keeping them alive. And with a bunch of little kids and a dog--extra dirt sounds like more […]

How We Deal With the Snowy Idaho Winter
This post is sponsored by Troy-Bilt. We have a lot of questions come in from readers. Mostly about home stuff and projects, which is expected. But Jules and I have also noticed a growing interest in our lives as Idahoans. That's also understandable, since Idaho is a bit of a mystery state; only passively remembered when […]

The New Cabin Chandeliers + What's Working and What's Not!
Just when everyone was getting used to the bladeless ceiling fans, we go and upgrade them. Previously, there were two ceiling fans here--the blades were removed for painting and we never put them back up because we had already ordered two of these large, round 12 light chandeliers for the main area at the a-frame.

Healthy Nachos (grain, soy & dairy free)
Though Jules can't eat grain, soy or dairy, that doesn't mean we can't all still enjoy a plate of nachos together! This is a great version that is friendly for many restricted diets, but good enough that the whole family (even the kids) will love it. A healthier take on nachos when you're craving the […]

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 […]
