Casual Friday: February 9, 2018
Chris and I are headed to the cabin this weekend, just the two of us. We're calling it our Valentine's day getaway. A few pieces have arrived for bedrooms and I've never been so excited to make a bed. I came across the bedroom above (via) and it felt a lot like the cabin vibes […]

Casual Friday + Favorite Frames!
Yesterday, we painted our bedroom. We prepped the room, held up swatches, picked up two samples, decided on a completely different color entirely (Benjamin Moore Olympic Mountains, FTW!) and then painted the whole room and all the trim. I documented most of the process on my stories and we'll definitely relay everything, including a lot […]

Sectional | Curtains | Engineer Prints | Pouf | Built-Ins A few weeks ago, I was going through Instagram Stories and a fashion blogger that I follow started talking about how a few months ago she was feeling unmotivated to blog and the creativity wasn't free-flowing like it once had been. My interest was piqued […]

Casual Friday + Our Favorite Games!
This year, my whole family was able to get together after Christmas, with sisters flying in from Mexico and Pittsburgh. We partied hard, filling every day with food, games, playing with the babies, bouncing from house to house to cabin, to the movies. In fact, I told Chris, it feels like we did everything over […]

Two weeks ago, I found my trusty handheld magnifying mirror (I got when I was 18!) cracked in the garbage. Our three year old said, it was broken so she threw it away--hmm! I didn't realize how often I used it until it wasn't there--like, every day. Almost at the same time Simple Human asked […]

We've been going pretty non-stop, trying to cram an entire bathroom renovation into a short amount of time (can't wait to show you how it turned out! It's beautiful!), while filming it and a few other projects for brands. Planning the cabin. Getting our home ready to host 30 people for Thanksgiving. Getting our gift […]

Casual Friday: November 10, 2017
Earlier this week, we had a dinner and game night with some of our friends at our cabin and it could have been the mountain air, or how we left all of our 8 kids (excluding Polly) at home with babysitters, but it was exhilarating playing games, acting silly and making an pyramid a-frame in […]

This week was one of those that felt never-ending. I think it had something to do with Halloween being on Tuesday, which made it feel like Friday and then we woke up and it was only Wednesday. Anyone else? We've taken on a lot of campaigns in the next few weeks, which means a LOT […]

Casual Friday + What's In My Makeup Bag
Tonight's our 7th annual costume party! Last year was our craziest year yet and I think we learned a lot from having over 200 people show up. This year, we tried to cut down the guest list and decided to make a big pot of chili, corn bread, apple cider and homemade rootbeer (the dry […]

Fall is in full-swing here and we're enjoying perfect jacket weather. We finished our outdoor kitchen just before our shoot a couple weeks ago, but can't show you the full thing until the magazine comes out next summer! However, enjoy the sneak peek. :) Last night, Chris made turkey burgers with apple butter, arugula, whole […]

Over two years ago, we made this raised feeding station for Charly--you can read the easy tutorial right here. This week, on my Instagram stories I showed that we updated it (the scrap wood we used previously wasn't the best choice of wood) using a stair tread we stained and sealed and attached to the […]

Our baby girl is one month old today. She is the sweetest little chub, weighing in at over 11 pounds now. Sleeps 6 and 7 hour stretches at night and loves to be cuddled all day long. Yesterday, Chris was on Polly duty for a few hours while I was trying to wrap up some […]

We are slowly adjusting to life as a family of five. I'm still very sleep-deprived and weepy most of the time, but Polly has started giving me longer stretches of sleep at night and I feel like a new woman those mornings (we had a 5 hour stretch night followed by a 6 hour stretch […]
