Hi! How was your Fourth?! We had such a wonderful day celebrating Joey’s half birthday (2.5 already!). Andy also took Monday and Tuesday off and worked really, really hard on a bunch of outdoor projects, including building a pretty new gate and doing a ton of landscaping. We’ll have updates...
Whoa! Stop the presses! I’m way behind on this news, and I have no idea how I missed it. I just found out that two of my favorite brands ever — Keds and Kate Spade — are collaborating on a line of shoes for spring. Polka dots + stripes +...
I mentioned the other day that my monthly book club meeting happened to fall on Valentine’s Day. I wanted to make something special for the girls who would be there, just for fun, and I decided to make them each a little pompom flower bouquet. This is a pretty easy...
Yesterday we told you how we’re really excited to have our first backyard garden. What we didn’t say is that we’ve actually grown a lot of things in our back yard before … weeds. Womp womp. We may live in Ohio, but our yard has been down right jungle-like in the...
We promised you lots of kitchen and living room pictures, and lots of pictures you will get! I hope you had a chance to see the fun, walk-down-memory-lane slideshow we created the other day that took you through the entire progression of our kitchen from teeny tiny, dark and closed off — to...

It’s annual to-do list-making time, woowoo. (I LOVE to-do lists if you didn’t know! Andy… not so much, ha.) We start every year by creating a general guideline for the projects we are hoping to tackle. I think it’s so nice to have an idea of what needs to get...
We find and try a lot of recipes that we find on Pinterest — some are complete failures, but some become instant classics, things we go back to time and again. We thought it would be fun to start a new series where we share some of the recipes that have...
37 weeks — we made it! Though we have three weeks to go until baby’s due date on August 9, at 37 weeks he is considered sort of full term (depending on who you ask — some doctors say 39 is full, but my doctor is ok with anything past...
