We chugged immunity shots (from Clean Juice) multiple times so that we could stay on top of all of our deadlines. We started the month releasing all of our gift guides, and shared a round […]

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

Fall is on the cusp, and consequently I'm now sporting boots on the regular. (Yes, already! I can't help myself!)
