When I was thinking about a design plan for our Christmas decorations this year, I decided I wanted to do all black, white and blush pink. I was inspired by the Sugar Paper LA holiday collection at Target — the polka dots, the gingham, it’s adorable,...
One of the things I’ve been working very hard on over the last year or two is my attitude about winter. I’ve talked about this a bit, but after having kids, I realized that it’s my responsibility to teach them to appreciate and find joy...
I built a bed. I was going to end the post there and just call it a day but Kerry said I had to write something more … like how I did it. Truth be told, building this bed was pretty easy. It’s not perfect, and...
We went away this past weekend to Traverse City, Michigan, for a few days and it was so great. Our good friend Alberto was running his 49th half-marathon in his 49th state, so we went to cheer him on and also show him around one of...

I can’t think of a better way to start off the Summer of the Burrito, aka Burrito Summer, than with a trip to La Plaza Supermarket for TACOS! That’s right. Tacos, not burritos. But hey, what can you do? La Plaza was a recommendation from people...
