  1. I had a laugh at your eating in bed quirk. While on our honeymoon my husband and I stayed in a few different hotels. They were standard double occupancy rooms with two queen beds. We ended up using one as an eating bed and the other for sleeping.

    On our first night away since having a baby my husband was disappointed in our king bed because we didn't have an eating bed ????

    Love the podcast!

  2. So great to hear Maxwell . Thanks to all three of you for great information and entertainment!
    Also thanks to Preston for failing to grout his tiles. I was listening to that episode whilst looking everywhere including the wheely bin (trash can) for a missing receipt to return some wrong-scale bedside lamps. At the mention of grout, I suddenly remembered that I had bought some grout for touch ups in the shower at the same time as the lamps. I tracked the receipt to the bag the grout was still sitting in. Preston please note, I have now done the grouting.....

  3. Oooh - I hadn't seen that one yet, but I love it and actually need it. :) Thanks for the link! The CLJ podcast is my fave of many. Y'all are a trip!!!

  4. Maxwell needs his own podcast! I could listen to him talk all day long. So much wisdom and knowledge that surpasses just home decor. Loved it, great interview, thanks for having him on!

My Storage Hack for Organizing Christmas Decorations

Every year when I pack up the decorations after Christmas, I collect all of the garlands together in one box, I get all the candlesticks together in another box, and all my nativity sets go into their own box. We label the boxes "garlands," "candles," "nativity sets,"...which seems great until you remember that you have […]

Cranberry-Glazed Ham

What do you make for Christmas dinner? Sometimes we'll do a prime rib or a roast turkey, but this year, I'm going all out with a Christmas ham that just looks festive. For this recipe, I made a cranberry-orange glaze with some warm winter spices that takes this ham to the next level. Oh and […]
