Rumpus room redo

Andy and I spent some time this weekend thinking about what we want to do in our rumpus/family/TV/dinner-on-the-couch room. It’s where we spend by far the most time, so we really want it to be comfortable and reflect our personal styles. We like a lot...

Living room moodboard: black, white & pink

A couple weeks ago we made a spur-of-the-moment decision to flip our dining room and living room. You may remember that our dining room was bright pink and our living room (that we’ve called a “reading room”) was bright red. We moved the daybed into...

12 Apple Recipes Perfect for Fall

A few weeks ago we took the kids apple picking at Quarry Hill Orchards outside of Cleveland and it was so much fun. It’s a nice, low-key kind of place, with no entrance fee — just pay by the bag, $25 — and no fuss....

Joey turned five-months old over the weekend. She’s getting so big and really turning into a little girl so fast. We measured her at 14 pounds and 25 inches tall, which is exactly how tall she was last month… so I know we messed up because she’s...

Updates in the Bedroom + What’s Next

A couple weeks ago we shared the DIY for the really awesome platform bed that Andy built, so we wanted to follow up to that with what else we’re planning for this room and what else we’ve changed in there recently. Oh, hi Ruby! It’s been a long...

Comic: The Haircut

*Click comic for full size version* When Kerry saw the final version of today’s comic, her response was, “Oh so that’s what you think of me?” I had to explain two things to her: 1) She actually came up with that final panel, she just didn’t...

I’m 30. What Have I Accomplished?

Pretty deep, right? What have any of us accomplished, really? No but seriously, I had a list of 30 things I was going to try to do before my 30th birthday, and I started the list about 30 days ago. I didn’t finish them all but...
