Okay, right off the bat, The Sweet Spot is gelato and not ice cream. So technically we’re taking a detour on our summer of ice cream for a quick stop at the summer of gelato. Just as good, if you ask me. The Sweet Spot has a really cool atmosphere. Maybe...
Andy and I have always been pretty bad at planning our meals ahead. When we go to the grocery store without a plan, we end up with a bunch of random things in our fridge that don’t go together and just end up going bad and getting thrown away. Then...
If you saw this picture on Facebook, you’ll know that we recently sanded the floors in our office. We’ve been talking about doing something with these floors for years, so it’s great to finally be started! We debated carpet, new wood, floor tiles, and ultimately decided to repaint. Painted floors in this 2nd floor...
This is one of those projects that is so easy it’s almost embarrassing. You know the ones? But we’ve gotten so many compliments on our new kitchen curtains that I just have to show you how I made them in a few easy steps — and no sewing necessary! Phew. I always knew...
Well, first of all… CHECK IT OUT! We gave ourselves a makeover this weekend. We got a whole new look, took a bunch of new pictures of ourselves (always awkward), updated our logo, and it feels like a fresh, modern Burritos and Bubbly! We’re considering this Phase One of a...

Ruby got a very much-needed haircut on Monday — her first ever! — and she looks like a whole new, super cute, and much cleaner dog. (I mean did you see that picture we posted last Friday? Yikes.) This is where she spends most of her time when we’re at...
In our Rumpus Room, we needed a space for storage and I’ve always liked the Expedits / now known as KALLAXes. KALLAXI? I am not sure what the plural would be. Inspired by some IKEA Hacks, and pretty much stolen directly from Young House Love, we decided we wanted to wrap...
She’s here! She’s here! We are so so so incredibly happy to introduce you to Joanna Lulu Bindernagel! Little Joey was born early last Monday morning at 6 pounds 12 ounces — and the whole world became a much cuter place! We actually decided on her first name within a week of finding out...
I’ve always wanted a beach cottage. It just feels like the perfect home for me — a place where it’s ok to put your feet on the furniture and come in the house a little sandy, where there are sisal rugs, linen curtains and wicker chairs. Of course, my house...
