Casual Friday + Nordstrom Half Yearly Sale Picks
It's been the most bizarre week over here. If you follow me on Instagram Stories then you know that yesterday I had to have an emergency surgery for a hernia that popped up ...or out..on Wednesday night. My stomach had been hurting the better part of the day, but it wasn't until we were having […]

Casual Friday + Blogs are Dead
I had a realization this week when I was out to dinner with some girlfriends--Blogs are dead. I don't think necessarily in the way that a few people said they would die a few years ago, but Wednesday night, one of my best friends looked me in the eye and said, "I never read blogs […]

• Last week, our family traveled to Southern California for a short, little getaway. We brought the girls to Disneyland, ate some amazing food, stopped by the beach and even swung by the new McGee & Co storefront in Costa Mesa since it was just minutes away from our hotel. (We stayed at the beautiful […]

Casual Friday: 10 Things That Made Me Happy This Week
1. I took 20 minutes and zhooshed the kitchen last Sunday, with a few new things and the freshness always makes me fall in love with a room all over again. It also inspires me to keep the counters clearer and invite someone new over. We added this printable equivalents chart (I tore the edges of like […]

What are you up to this weekend? Our little Faye Faye (Faye-Fee, Fayebelizer) is turning 4 tomorrow! She asked for a swimming party, so we rented out a local hotel's pool for two hours for her, a couple friends and cousins. Faye is love. She just exudes so much love. She never hit the terrible […]

Last week, we were in Austin at a conference and I missed Casual Friday. Like, truly missed it. But, at the same time, we learned so much at our conference that was put on by our ad network. It was our first time attending a blog conference (which shocked everyone!) and the blogging world is […]

It was Spring for, like, 2 hours here and then it dumped 6 more inches of snow but it still lit a Spring cleaning purge fire under me. I emptied my closet of all the clothes I never wore this winter. I bagged up all my maternity clothes and 98% of the baby clothes that […]

Willow has been acting off. We brought her into the vet and discovered she slipped a disc in her back. We got medication for her and have been trying to help her rest, per her doctor's orders, but she's still not acting like herself. It's so hard to know that something is wrong with your […]

This week had a lot of highs and lows with healing from my eye surgery (I'll touch more on next week), finalizing an exciting partnership launching later this year, to somewhat abruptly closing another chapter--more on that in Monday's podcast. But maybe what feels most exciting is finalizing a lot of the finishes for the […]

Casual Friday + Favorite Frames!
Yesterday, we painted our bedroom. We prepped the room, held up swatches, picked up two samples, decided on a completely different color entirely (Benjamin Moore Olympic Mountains, FTW!) and then painted the whole room and all the trim. I documented most of the process on my stories and we'll definitely relay everything, including a lot […]

Casual Friday + Our Favorite Games!
This year, my whole family was able to get together after Christmas, with sisters flying in from Mexico and Pittsburgh. We partied hard, filling every day with food, games, playing with the babies, bouncing from house to house to cabin, to the movies. In fact, I told Chris, it feels like we did everything over […]

Two weeks ago, I found my trusty handheld magnifying mirror (I got when I was 18!) cracked in the garbage. Our three year old said, it was broken so she threw it away--hmm! I didn't realize how often I used it until it wasn't there--like, every day. Almost at the same time Simple Human asked […]

Earlier this week, we had a dinner and game night with some of our friends at our cabin and it could have been the mountain air, or how we left all of our 8 kids (excluding Polly) at home with babysitters, but it was exhilarating playing games, acting silly and making an pyramid a-frame in […]
