Cabin Update - Exterior Stain & New Fireplaces
Up to now, "progress" in the cabin has looked more like destruction. Lots of things needed to be ripped out and redone, as a lot of the previous updates weren't exactly up to code. Would you like an example? You'd like an example: That's one of the bigger ones. A huge no-no. This is the […]

A Gallery Wall of Favorite Toys for the Playroom (+ a Coupon Code to Mixtiles!)
This post is sponsored by Mixtiles. There's a special offer for ALL of our readers at the bottom of the post.

How to Patch Holes in Drywall, Large and Small
I hear from a lot of people that have a major fear of putting a hole in their walls. Don't let a hole keep you from hanging art or curtains or mirrors or anything else! And at the same time, don't let a large hole dictate where something hangs just because you aren't sure how […]

Chris Cooks: Moroccan Chicken & Rice
If you're ever around Julia when I tell her this is what we're having for dinner, without exception you will hear her say, "That is my absolute favorite thing you make." The flavor is rich and warm and perfect for cooler weather (or anytime, really), and it's just a comforting meal. Paired with cardamom-scented rice, […]

So much progress was made on the cabin this week! I'm actually having trouble sleeping because so much is happening at one time and being not right in the middle of it is both very exciting and also a little nerve-wrecking. The main fireplace is completely framed in, the HVAC is done and the floors […]

Our Samsung Frame TV - An Unsolicited Review
Last month we used the awkward nook in our bedroom to add an electric fireplace. We've loved the new vibe, but also knew that we wanted a TV above it, as well. We've actually had a TV in this little corner for the past couple years, but with such an improvement in that space, we […]

Our Annual House Video Tour 2018
Every year, we film a house tour video (usually in the fall) to capture our home in that moment of time. Last year, neither our bathroom or closet was done, our bedroom was still dark, our playset was unpainted, our desk in the office was still super tall, our outdoor kitchen didn't exist, our reading […]

Faux Pho
Pho is an amazingly complex, flavorful and comforting Vietnamese soup. And while the popularity of this soup has brought with it countless tutorials on how to make it, there are times where you crave it now and don't have 18+ hours to slow simmer a bone broth. This recipe is rich, with flavors that mimic […]

Do You Have a Bath Mat? + A few favorites
When we finished our bathroom a couple months ago, I couldn't believe how many people asked about a bath mat! To be completely honest, we'd either throw down a towel before stepping out of the shower or just dry our feet and step out one foot at a time. But recently, instead of continuously going […]
