A couple months ago, we threw Charlie his first birthday party. We had a bartender scheduled to come as a fun treat for the adults, but he had to cancel last minute. We knew we wanted to have a yummy drink for the party, but didn't want to be busy mixing drinks all afternoon. I picked up this Spicy Cucumber Chile Margarita mix and it was actually amazing. ...
Since building our house a few years ago, I've slowly been breaking down the details of each room. I have several general home blog posts since I know you guys like all the info and today's focus is on our kitchen. I've already done a blog post on our dishes and all that and link my ever-changing decor here, but this post will break down more of the design. ...
Mother's Day always creeps up on me and I just realized it's in less than two weeks.
Obviously I'm now a mom but I still mainly think about my own mom and MIL on this holiday. And more than ever, it's one of my favorite holidays for celebrating the moms in my life, along with reflecting on my own motherhood journey. I know firsthand how emotional this holiday can be for people, so just know that I'm also sending love to everyone who needs it on this day. ...
I've been working on documenting the rooms in our house that I haven't yet. I get a lot of questions on links in our house, finishes, and all those details, so hopefully, this is helpful! Today I'm covering our simple entryway, but I also have lots of rooms like our George's nursery, Our Kitchen Details, Our Neutral Bedroom, My Office, and a blog post of our Most Requested Home Decor Links, so don't miss those either. ...
Let's talk self-care, because at least for me, it was something I did not do enough of last year and I'm trying to change that. I think sometimes I feel like self-care has to be some over-the-top luxury like a massage or a facial and let's be honest...I don't have time for that often. I know most of us don't! So this year I'm trying to find small, easy self-care habits that I can fit in weekly if not daily. Baths instead of showers, face masks as I'm getting the boys up in the morning, a cozy lounge set that makes me feel good, drinking lots of water, and taking care of myself with workouts that I've committed to this year. ...
I can't believe it's taken me almost 3 years to finally share this nursery with you (!) We worked with Ginger at Urbanology Designs to create this modern nursery for George and I love how it turned out. Also thank you to Apartment Therapy for the beautiful feature! ...
OK, lots of requests after teasing Austin's Espresso Martini on NYE, and apologies it's taken me this long to get the recipe up. We've been into espresso martini's for some time now, so Austin thought he'd attempt an at-home recipe. And to be honest, it's really really good. ...
I shared a few office supplies that I had mainly reordered for 2022 on stories the other day and got a surprising amount of positive feedback. Turns out I'm not the only one addicted to buying cute office supplies! Which I love. And while I shared mostly cute Amazon office supplies like these pink notepads, I also wanted to share more desk essentials for an organized space. Beacuse I'm sure we're all trying to start the year with a fresh, clean work environment. ...
I don't know about you, but I love hearing other people's goals or resolutions. It's kind of like seeing what they have in their bag or grocery cart - I just find it interesting to get a glimpse into other people's lives like that.
So with that, I wanted to share what my goals for this year are - plus, my word of the year. I'm going to be sharing some resources that I've created in my newsletter next week so if you're into goal setting or want to know my general resources for supporting my yearly goals, definitely sign up for that. I'll also be sharing organization office supplies on the blog tomorrow. ...
If you're like me, you're trying to take January to stay home, spend less money, and get your life in order. Austin and I got in a habit of ordering out A LOT in 2021, especially as we became a family of 4, and we'd like to get back into the habit of cooking more at home. To kick off the year, I wanted to share 5 recipes to try this season. I've personally tried all of these and can vouch, and if you're looking for even more ideas, I have an entire Pinterest board of recipes. ...
