Why You Should Probably Invest in a (New) Website
Back in 2019, we set our sights on a new site. Chris had been coding and managing ChrisLovesJulia.com for the first decade, and we had grown so much over the years that it started to feel a little clunky. We had somewhat of a Frankensite, with new parts and old parts and the constant striving […]

Falling in Love with Fall in the Courtyard
We haven't done any fall festivities this year. No pumpkin patches, no straw mazes, no pumpkin carving, nothing! The weather has just been so great that I don't think we feel the same urgency we did in Idaho. We had to cram in all the festivities because every day it would just get colder and […]

Casual Friday: Polly's Wallpaper is here!
I wasn't planning on doing any of the girls rooms this year, because there was so much chaos in the main areas of the house, I really wanted to make sure their rooms stayed clean and organized (even if they did lack personality) until things calmed down everywhere else. But a few weeks ago, I stumbled […]

It's Fire Pit Season! Which one will you be sitting around?
We're welcoming fall by lighting up the evenings with the glow of our fire pit. In Idaho, fire pits were more of a summer evening event. Fall was too cold to be out in the evening without being bundled with a coat and blanket. It's magically different here, and the subtle crisp evenings are just […]
