CLJ Gift Guides: Gifts for the Home Lover
Earlier this week, we flew to Florida to celebrate Thanksgiving with Chris's brother and his family. It's been warm and lovely and we're having the best time. Our house sitters are sending us daily Charly updates (she is loving the snow we're getting back home) and in between activities, Chris and I have been putting […]

That Time My Family Got a Video Camera and We All Freaked Out
Without trying to jump any guns, there are just 11 weeks until Christmas (!!) And even less until all of my sisters are reunited again. I wanted to do something special this year for our annual holiday reunion, so we partnered with Legacybox to pull it off (and scored a huge discount for all of you, too, at the […]

12 Home Run Gifts for Dads
Father's Day is on Sunday! Which means there's just enough time to order something for that special guy in your life and his dad and your dad--at least that's how it works around here--and have it delivered by Saturday. A few weeks ago, we bought Chris an Apple watch (which he couldn't love more) from […]

Gift Guide: Things to fill Easter Baskets that AREN'T Candy
I found out 2 days ago that Easter is in March this year, as in less than two weeks. Greta is ecstatic about these back to back to back holidays (St. Patricks Day, Easter and Faye's birthday) and then throw in her Kindergarten circus next week and she is already bouncing off the walls. So, […]

PSA - Tools on Sale (not sponsored)
Ok y'all, this is not a drill! Though, there are quite a few drills in this post, but crap, no, we don't have time for lame puns because this is limited time only kinda stuff! Remember my gift guide last week that looked like a freaking DeWalt sponsored post? I promise, all my heart, it […]

Patio Zen
This year has been a growing year for me. I have taken on a lot of extra freelancing and started to work for a big interior-inspiration website nearly full time. About half way through, I was so overjoyed with all of the opportunities but also feeling a little overwhelmed, too. My sister, Victoria, who still […]

We generally post gift guides closer to Black Friday, but when Lulu & Georgia asked if I would be interested in curating a gift guide for the Home Lover as a part of their 12 Days Of Giveaways, I jumped at the chance. It's taken Chris a few years to realize that the best gifts […]

My Favorite Thing to Gift For Father's Day + A Giveaway!
Every year, since Greta was born, I have given Chris a photo of his daughter(s) for father's day. He knows it's coming, yes, but he always tears up and brings it to work to hang on the walls in his office like the proud dad he is. Last year, was his first father's day as […]

A Gift Guide for the Dogs
Dogs are simple, really. They love to be walked and fed and if your dog is anything like our Charly, they like to sleep and snore like a freight train all day long, too. But here's a few ideas that could make their holiday a little merrier--they're a part of the family too! 1. A […]

A Gift Guide For Someone Who Wants to Be a Great Cook
Last year I created a gift guide for foodies. Since then, I've realized it's kinda silly to make a gift guide for "Foodies." Why? Because there are dozens of types of Foodies, each being interested in a different type of gift. One person might call themselves a Foodie because they love trendy kitchen gadgets. One […]

Tried and True Father's Day Gift Guide
Father's Day is on Sunday!! I already have a few gifts for Chris stashed away, but we put our heads together for this gift guide. Some gift guides are gimmicky or cheesy or maybe just look good (does any guy really want a solar-powered Rubik's cube coffee mug? a candle?)--this is not one of those. A lot […]

1. The Wagner Flexio 590 paint sprayer recently changed our lives and our minds about paint sprayers in general. Chances are, your DIYer has had a similar experience and now you get to blow their mind with this one that works, oh so well! 2. A really great soy candle that lasts for 50 hours […]

The Art of Gift Hiding
When I was growing up, after I uncovered the truth, you know the truth, and suddenly came to the realization that all of our Christmas presents HAD to be in the house somewhere--I got curious. I never remember hunting for them or anything, but I might poke in my parents' closet with a terribly pounding […]

While I still have some shopping to do before Christmas, I have found that homemade gifts are always well-received so Chris and I have tried to incorporate that into our holiday gifting plans each year as well. This family tree project took me 20 minutes and is as sentimental for anyone as it is pretty […]
