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 […]

How to Host a Low-Key Game Night

Last weekend, we hosted a low-key game night with 10 of our best friends and it was so much fun!   I shared a few snippets on my Instagram stories and got so many questions about the logistics--how we pulled it off with kids, what did we do for food and what games we played. […]

Easter is upon us, and everyone is scrambling to find that perfect ham recipe, stockpiling the 30 ingredients required for it, and preparing to realize late Saturday night that they have neglected the entire rest of the menu.

I went in for LASIK and they did PRK surgery--My Experience

I've been waiting to write this post until my vision became a little more stable and maybe I was a little less angry about the situation I'm in--but so many of you have asked about my eyes "How are they doing?!" that I thought I'd take this normal "Casual Friday" post and talk about how these […]
