Chris and I are celebrating our 10 year anniversary next month (Nov. 8th) and are headed to Bora Bora next week to celebrate. Years ago we put a pin in the destination for our 10 year, and I can't believe it's almost here! We don't have much scheduled besides a couple's massage, lounging in our […]

So much progress was made on the cabin this week! I'm actually having trouble sleeping because so much is happening at one time and being not right in the middle of it is both very exciting and also a little nerve-wrecking. The main fireplace is completely framed in, the HVAC is done and the floors […]

Last week, I added a few new save and splurge items to my skincare routine I wanted to share. A couple months ago, I tried Lancome's micellar water as a makeup remover/toner. It worked well, but it was also $40 and I didn't feel like it was that good. So when it ran out I was looking […]

The biggest thing that happened this week is our baby girl turned 1. The emotions hit me harder than I expected. The first birthday of our older two girls felt like a big celebration. A sigh of relief. We made it! We did it! She's alive! Polly's first birthday felt like a lump in my throat that […]

It's been a difficult week for me. I had emergency surgery a few weeks ago for a hernia that developed over night and it got aggravated last weekend--swollen, red, so painful. I was worried I was going to have surgery again. I spent Sunday and Monday mostly in bed, but Tuesday we had to travel […]

Casual Friday + Blogs are Dead
I had a realization this week when I was out to dinner with some girlfriends--Blogs are dead. I don't think necessarily in the way that a few people said they would die a few years ago, but Wednesday night, one of my best friends looked me in the eye and said, "I never read blogs […]

• Last week, our family traveled to Southern California for a short, little getaway. We brought the girls to Disneyland, ate some amazing food, stopped by the beach and even swung by the new McGee & Co storefront in Costa Mesa since it was just minutes away from our hotel.

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 […]

What are you up to this weekend? Our little Faye Faye (Faye-Fee, Fayebelizer) is turning 4 tomorrow! She asked for a swimming party, so we rented out a local hotel's pool for two hours for her, a couple friends and cousins. Faye is love. She just exudes so much love. She never hit the terrible […]

It was Spring for, like, 2 hours here and then it dumped 6 more inches of snow but it still lit a Spring cleaning purge fire under me. I emptied my closet of all the clothes I never wore this winter. I bagged up all my maternity clothes and 98% of the baby clothes that […]

This week had a lot of highs and lows with healing from my eye surgery (I'll touch more on next week), finalizing an exciting partnership launching later this year, to somewhat abruptly closing another chapter--more on that in Monday's podcast. But maybe what feels most exciting is finalizing a lot of the finishes for the […]
