Holiday festivities are in full swing and I know we are all so excited to gather with friends and loved ones again. If you have a few parties on your calendar, don't forget to bring a little something for the hostess. Here's a few ideas that are easy and quick if you are in a pinch.
Are you hosting this year? xx AR ...
I'm hosting Thanksgiving this year for my family and wanted to share a few ideas that I'm planning to recreate. I am so excited to have everyone in our home and currently looking for some yummy traditional recipes (drop them in the comments if you have any). I will definitely be making this Green Bean Casserole again — it's Austin's favorite! ...
I realized that I haven't actually ever covered a lot of our kitchen details on the blog so better late than never, right? Today's breakdown is simple: I'm linking our decor and dishes that we use most often. Let me know if there's any other area of the house y'all want to see a breakdown for and I'll work on curating those links. ...
I posted a question box about 'work/life balance' a couple of weeks ago on IGS and it got such a huge response that I knew I needed to compile things into a blog post. First up, it seems like most people agree that it's nearly impossible, and also that there's just never going to be a perfect balance - which is fine. I've noticed more this year than ever before, with two boys, a full-time job, family stuff, working on some big projects, and just life, that my balance was suffering, and so was my mental health because of it. ...
I feel like a broken record when it comes to Nordstrom Anniversary Sale Home content but I'm a creature of habit when it comes to shopping the NSale. I always always stock up on candles. That is my #1 recommendation to anyone trying to navigate the sale. ...
This is my third year to shop the baby/kids section of the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale and if you are in the market for a car seat or want to pick up some shoes for your baby, this is a great time to shop. This year, the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale 2021 Baby section has some really good stuff. ...
Austin made these burgers the other night and we could not get enough. Think In-N-Out style, but bigger and better. This is the ultimate burger recipe. Truly a must for your next summer cookout. This is a smashburger style so you'll have a thinner patty, lots of toppings and tons of flavor. Here's the exact recipe he followed: ...
Most of the recurring messages in my DMs lately have been about postpartum, so I know a lot of mama's are going through it too, or are about to be. From what SPANX I'm loving to my postpartum beauty faves (aka things that are quick and efficient) to what I'm wearing, I'm happy to share what's been working for me. ...
I'm glad y'all enjoyed the Baby Essentials I shared this week, and as promised, today I'm going to cover what we keep in our rolling baby cart. We tend to keep this in our living room or bedroom depending on the time of day, and it's been such a life-saver during the newborn stage. ...
One of the most requested posts as of late has been my baby essentials or to link certain things I'm sharing for Charlie. I know it's taken me some time to get around to it, but I wanted to make sure I could recommend and use some of these items on Charlie before publishing this. Between George and Charlie, there have been certain things that I didn't end up loving, but what you see below are things I can confidently recommend as my baby essentials. I hope it's helpful, and let me know if I left anything out. I'll share what we keep in the rolling cart soon, as I know that's another popular topic in my DMs. ...
