Peanut Butter and Chocolate Chip Cookie Recipe

Anyone else been getting 10x more use out of their kitchen lately? Same. Aus and I both have been working really hard this year on cleaning up our diets and trying to strike more of that "balance" they say is possible. For the most part it's been going well, but I have to admit, this quarantine situation has me craving all the delicious baked goods and junk food. Honestly, I'm not mad about it. It's this craving that led me to start experimenting with cookie recipes and you guys, I think I landed on a serious winner! ...

Activities for Families with Babies + Toddlers During Quarantine

First, how is everyone doing with the craziness happening in the world right now? Sometimes I honestly can't even believe that this is our reality. But, Austin and I are doing our best to stay home and be positive. We don't want to stress too much and have George pick up on that energy, so honestly, we're doing everything we can to distract ourselves with fun, family-oriented activities while quarantined. I figured a lot of you are going through the same emotions, so I wanted to create a little bit of a resource for you guys. I shared a similar list in my newsletter last week but saw such a response I wanted to give this info a permanent home on the blog and on Pinterest so you can pin this post or either of the graphics below so you can save for later. Or, you can also right-click (on desktop) or click and hold (on your phone) to save the graphics so you can reference them any time! ...

Working From Home? You’ll Want These Comfortable Sweatsuits.

Last month, I bought the internet's favorite Jogger and Hoodie Set and haven't stopped wearing them. It's my fault I ended up with three different colors, but I find these sweatsuits to be the ultimate luxury these days. Many of you have been requesting more of these matching jogger suits and while they seem to be selling out faster than ever, I've found a few good ones that are still in stock. I actually ended up buying three from this round-up -- can't wait to wear them next week. ...

A Look Inside My Black and White Home Office

If you've been following our hashtag #AshleyAtHome you've probably seen a little glimpse of my office, but I'm excited to finally share with you a full look at where I spend most of my day. (Now more than ever.) When we first decided to build a home back in 2017, we knew it was going to be a long process and certainly a learning experience since this was uncharted territory for both of us. However, we didn't realize how many details went into each and every little thing. Austin and I thought we could handle everything on our own but about 4 months into the home build, we realized we needed some direction and guidance. We found Urbanology Designs and immediately fell in love with their vibe. After meeting Ginger and her team, we knew we wanted to hire them to help us with our home build. It truly was money well spent. Not only did they create our dream home, but mentally, they gave us so much clarity and peace. Building a house is no easy feat and we were incredibly thankful to have their help. ...
