Though Jules can't eat grain, soy or dairy, that doesn't mean we can't all still enjoy a plate of nachos together! This is a great version that is friendly for many restricted diets, but good enough that the whole family (even the kids) will love it. A healthier take on nachos when you're craving the […]

• Happy Friday! This week I feel like I got my groove back. I got back into my normal early morning gym sessions, drinking my celery juice first thing, getting ready for the workday and heading down to my office by 8:30. It felt good to be productive and tackling my to-do lists. One of […]

We spent most of the holidays with our large families at our cabin and even in its in-progress state, all of the hard work we've put into it over the last few months all felt worth it. We have a full post coming up next week about all the furnishings we've added to the cabin […]
This post is sponsored by Grove Collaborative. Everyone loves Mrs. Meyers--heck, I even saw it at a few Favorite Things parties over the holidays. We use the multi-surface spray daily and religiously for everything from cleaning our counters and high chair to cleaning bathrooms. And sometimes I just spray it in the air before company […]
It truly feels like the middle of December, but in reality, it's only the 4th day (how!?). At the beginning of every month, I love to reflect back and share my favorites from the month prior as well as our monthly video capturing what the month was like for us beyond the renovations and DIY […]

I kid you not when I say that this is the best dressing recipe out there. Anyone who tastes it agrees, and you'll look like a total rockstar when you serve it to your guests this Thanksgiving. Its unique without being weird, and all the flavors are classically Thanksgiving but not at all expected. Serious, […]

Here, we share all the tips and techniques that will help you roast and carve a perfect, tender, and juicy turkey for Thanksgiving this year. How to Roast The Perfect Thanksgiving […]
Back in September, we watched The Wizard of Oz as a family (it's on Amazon Prime!) and the girls were instantly hooked. Almost instantly we all started planning our Halloween costumes around the classic film--and although it's been a favorite movie of mine my entire life--this was the first time I was one of the […]
The first time I had pumpkin cheesecake, it was more of a New York style. It was delicious, but also very heavy. I mean, you just finished eating a plate full (or perhaps several plates full) of Thanksgiving dinner. If you're like me, by that time, you just aren't in the mood to eat something […]

This post is sponsored by eBay Why isn't Fall cleaning more of a thing? There's so much emphasis around Spring Cleaning, but for me, the urgency, appreciation and desire for a deep cleaned house comes stronger in the fall. With all the holidays and house guests right around the corner, I love to buckle down […]
Hardware | Fruit bowl | Cutting boards | Glass canister | Equivalents Print | Acrylic Frame | Pumpkin Toffee Candle | Green bowls | Salt Cellar | Pots & Pans • Idaho got really cold this week--30s and 40s most days. Those first brisk days are always fun (ask me again in January--ooof), but when we were getting […]
It's October, and pumpkins are lining everyone's doorstep. The unfortunate thing is many of these pumpkins are thrown away after rotting in the cold, instead of realizing their full culinary potential. This chili doesn't just use pumpkin because it's that time of year and we put pumpkin in everything. The pumpkin adds so much creaminess […]
