On our very first date, we were in college and Chris picked me up and we went to the grocery store to get ingredients to make dinner together. He made a spicy chicken alfredo. Afterward, he melted a bunch of caramels and we dipped apples and played Scrabble and had so much laughing and getting […]

My Early Morning Routine
Something I'm working on this year (besides having more fun), is dialing in on my routines! I've learned that any time I want to start implementing a new habit or resolution in my life, it's most likely to succeed if I attach it to my already successful routine! Routines over resolutions! Years ago, I started […]

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: 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 […]

Every day we discover more things that never made it to us in the move. It’s difficult not having a list of what’s in that sealed storage unit in Idaho that we don’t have access to and with each passing day, we realize that we may never see some things again. This week, when those […]

That's for this house. But I'm learning you can't really do much until you're organized. This week I tried to focus […]

March was the busiest month of life and work, I think ever? We made some major decisions and announcements about moving across the country and then all the subsequent projects that came with that.
