This post is sponsored by eBay. I've been finding the best things for our home on eBay lately for a steal, and I wanted to share a little bit about how I find them! Our most recent eBay purchase was this WORX all in one multi tool we have been using non-stop. It's a wheelbarrow, dolly, comes […]
This post is part of a paid partnership with Lowe's. Our garage has been a bit neglected over the past few years. It has served as a catch-all for everything project related, with random clean times here and there where we were actually able to park our cars inside it. But now that we've finished almost […]
Letterboards are all over Instagram (and yet somehow I didn't put them on this list!), so that can only mean one thing--the start of school is among us. It starts tomorrow for us and I rounded up a few things to motivate, organize and decorate your home for the season. (Back to school is totally […]
If you're familiar with what a clam bake is, don't compare this to that. This is closer to a low country seafood boil, but is done with vegetables, wrapped in tin foil and baked in the oven. And yes, it's keto-friendly and super yummy. Though I use snow crab legs, you could use clams instead, […]

Last week, I added a few new save and splurge items to my skincare routine I wanted to share. A couple months ago, I tried Lancome's micellar water as a makeup remover/toner. It worked well, but it was also $40 and I didn't feel like it was that good. So when it ran out I was looking […]
We don't show the other side of our room very often, mostly because we still haven't really figured it out. A couple years ago, we added a TV to the relatively small recessed wall section and despite what all of those studies say, WE LOVE HAVING A TV IN OUR ROOM! We don't have cable, but we […]
This post is sponsored by World Market. They are having a big 30% off furniture sale with code FURN30. My picks are at the bottom of the post! We recently hired my nephew, Jordan, to be our full-time videographer! More and more of our sponsors are wanting video content and we wanted to amp up […]
Our closet is installed, trimmed out and loaded up and I'm so excited to share all the after photos with you today. (Psst! There's a video tour inside the closet and every other drawer in the bathroom on CLJTV right here). While we went all out in our bathroom, as you may have read in […]
A few weeks ago, we revealed our master bathroom makeover (check out the post here if you haven't already!). We just tallied up all the invoices and expenses for our bathroom renovation and we wanted to share a full budget breakdown with you today! Well, to be honest, I don't know if we "wanted" to, […]
Lemon pepper salmon is a pretty common dish, though it usually refers to salmon sprinkled with a premade lemon pepper seasoning. Though I've had my share of that version, and don't mind it at all, this is the version I prefer. A perfectly cooked salmon portion, with a sauce of cream, roasted peppers, and lemon […]
This has been a roller-coaster week! First of all, thank you SO much for the overwhelming response to the CLJ Design Services we launched with Modsy yesterday! It's honestly such a dream come true and something we've been working for months on. To see so many of you just as excited has been so rewarding. […]
Back in the day, I offered design services and made mood boards for the masses and as much as I loved it (it's one of my true passions!), each one took me about 12-15 hours and I could only take a handful of clients a month because of the time investment I wanted to put into […]
This post is sponsored by eBay! It was during our long road trip to Lake Tahoe over the fourth of July, and all the car messes 3 little girls can make, and sitting on crumbs as I moved from chair to chair trying to keep everyone happy, that I announced, "As soon as we get […]
Last week marked the real beginning of renovations up at the cabin. Even though we have brought up a few furniture piecesbrought up a few furniture pieces, and even built the reading nook in one of the bedrooms, it's still felt very much on hold because of the heating and cooling issues up there (and all […]

A delicious island-inspired classic, with a little Southern flair. Keto-friendly and […]

The biggest thing that happened this week is our baby girl turned 1. The emotions hit me harder than I expected. The first birthday of our older two girls felt like a big celebration. A sigh of relief. We made it! We did it! She's alive! Polly's first birthday felt like a lump in my throat that […]
This post has been a long time coming. Saber Grills sent us one of their 4-burner Elite grills two years ago. Shortly after it arrived, I hurt my back and the project was postponed. Winter rolled in and the grill, along with cabinets, drawers and doors, sat in our garage for months. Then last summer […]
