Casual Friday!
One morning, after swim lessons, Faye was so cold she took off her wet bathing suit and jumped immediately in our bed and watched Frozen Fever probably 5 times. (Our sheets are and duvet are from here.) This week was a little hectic around here, between trying to juggle current projects and aiming to get […]

Casual Friday + Our Hanging Chairs
School's out, the warm weather has finally arrived and we're soaking up every second over here. This also means we have a lot of outdoor projects and posts coming up including building a big front porch swing, an outdoor kitchen, adding a play set to our yard (more on that in a minute), a look at the […]

We've been dreaming of purchasing a small cabin in the mountains for over two years now and for the last 9 months, we have been actively looking at properties. Our ideal is something on the small and cozy size that is surrounded by trees, needs a little TLC, has winter access, and one that we could […]

It's been a jam-packed week and I'm feeling ready for a nap. I'm looking at you, Mother's Day. At the beginning of this week, I had a surge of energy--at last! I cleaned everything from top to bottom and then shopped our house to rearrange a few things in the entry. I pulled this blue bench from […]

Aloha! Chris and I flew to Maui yesterday for some much needed R&R and a little babymoon he surprised me with for Valentine's day. The funny thing is, we have never taken a babymoon before, but I guess it's our last one so we're living it up before becoming a family of five! We've never been […]

(Old photo snapped of our group. Me, mid-story, looking only a little nuts. Haha) It's not news that one of our favorite things to do is to have people over. It started a long time ago, before we even had kids or a mortgage. Shortly after we were married, we hosted our first Friendsgiving. We didn't […]

Casual Friday + 24 week update!
I haven't had the chance to put up a Casual Friday in a couple weeks due to traveling and projects, and there's so much I am excited to chat about today, including a little pregnancy update later in the post. While I don't share a ton about my pregnancies generally, I thought it would be fun […]

Earlier this week, Chris and I went to lunch and got to talking about our house. The conversation turned into some interesting/quirky facts about it that I'm sure we'll share in a future post one day. But the funniest one, that we are reminded of almost daily, is when we hung wallpaper in the entry, we […]

Casual Friday + President's Day Deals!
The new rug for the living room arrived this week (more on Monday!) and we love it so much. We got a lot of inquiries about purchasing our blue rug, but we rolled it up and put it in storage for now because we still love it so much, too, and will likely use it in the future somewhere. […]

Many of you have noticed things have been different around here for awhile. We're still getting multiple emails and questions every day wondering when our post schedule is going to get back to its normal Monday-Friday. First, we couldn't be more grateful that we have such a strong and loyal readership that we get to share our […]

Can you spot the ghost in that photo?? (Haha) This week has been so filled, it's hard to know where to start. There have been some low points, like when we learned Greta was effectively deaf...again. We've been through this with her poor little ears when she was two, and unfortunately, although it's something a lot […]

We always get emails about magazines or websites wanting permission to use photos of our home, and needing a high res version. Which means, I often get to revisit "older" versions of spaces in our home. Sometimes, I show them a more finished version of the room and they want that photo instead, but every once […]

All the schools have been cancelled in the area the past two days (except the University) because of extreme cold weather. -25 to be exact. Greta was thrilled, even if she only started school again after the break on Tuesday! Ha! I still had a doctor's appointment to go to and the inside of the door […]

A couple weeks ago, we got to make Christmas cookies with the girls and yesterday we shared our favorite recipe and a few photos over on Crate and Barrel's blog. Over the years we have learned it's not about the way the cookies taste (they WILL have too much frosting), or how they look (really, […]

We left last Monday night, the 21st, for Florida to spend Thanksgiving with Chris's brother and family. It was an amazing time filled with food, that warm sun, swimming, and, yes, we took the girls to Disney World, too. We got home Wednesday night and these two went straight for their bunkbeds. There were a few questions […]

Chris and I just got back from a 24 hour getaway and I'm feeling all sorts of refreshed and re-engerized. It was our 8th anniversary on Tuesday and we were both too busy finishing up projects and the one room challenge and watching the election to really celebrate. So as soon as the reveal went […]
