What We're Eating During Our Kitchen Renovation

This post is sponsored by Daily Harvest. Get up to $40 off your first box with code CHRISLOVESJULIA. There are a lot of obvious annoyances with renovation - the dust, the noise, the feeling of being "unsettled." The hope is that it's all worth it in the end, and so far that's proven true for […]

5 Things I ordered from Amazon lately

Find sources here! 1. Purple Pillow Chris's birthday was a couple weeks ago and he is constantly fighting with his pillows. Stacking. Unstacking.

Casual Friday: Shopping Spree, and the Room I'm Missing the Most From Our Previous Home

Yesterday we played a fun game in our Instagram Stories, where we brought our followers on a hypothetical shopping spree. It's the "Would You Rather" of shopping with a set budget and you can't choose both or neither as options. It's pretend money! "Spend" freely! We're bringing it to Casual Friday today so I can […]

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 […]

Casual Friday: Best of September, Including Our New Favorite Kitchen Appliance, and A Game We Can't Stop Talking About

My favorite month of the year has come and gone in a blink. September is the month where we all slide into our school-year routine and the weather begins to shift. So far fall is playing peekaboo and I'm really fine with it. I'd rather fall be a slow trickle than a big wave that […]

Casual Friday: Our Fall Front Porch, Faux Pumpkins, LuLaRich & More!

September 15th felt like the perfect day to put cascading pumpkins on the front porch. I was warned by many that pumpkins won't last long on your doorstep in North Carolina. It's a stark contrast to them lasting MONTHS in Idaho, probably because it's like a refrigerator on your porch. So, well, those are all faux and […]

Casual Friday: Our Favorite Fall Boots

Fall is on the cusp, and consequently I'm now sporting boots on the regular. (Yes, already! I can't help myself!) In addition to my favorite Chelsea boot styles, I did a bit of shopping around because I wanted some knee-high boots. For me it's the ripped denim with the loose knee-length boots together. I have […]
