A few years ago, I wrote a post about how to have light furniture in your home with kids (and not go crazy!) Some think it an impossible feat, but with house rules and habits in place (and performance fabrics), you might be surprised that a light and airy home with upholstered furniture is within reach, even with young children. To re-cap some ...

Walmart Express Delivery
Thank you Walmart for sponsoring this post! Last Friday, we got the news that a tropical storm may be hitting Houston and we realized we were not prepared with everything we needed for a potential severe weather event. Not only that, we were running super low on groceries in general. I had picked up groceries at my local Walmart a couple of ...
Weezie Towels Robe Review
I remember learning about Weezie towel’s robes when Megan first shared hers. The printed robe was a collaboration between Weezie and textile designer India Amory. I immediately went to order one and soon realized the robes had sold out in 24 hours! I considered purchasing one of the white robes, but having seen the success of their first ...
How to Organize Your Pantry in An Hour (Or Less!)
Last weekend, I finally took on the task of cleaning out and organizing our pantry, which admittedly became a catchall after our November move. Out of sight, out of mind, right? Though I’m thankful I was able to keep the mess behind closed doors for months, it also felt like time to give the pantry the de-clutter and focus it deserved. It can ...
How We Customized Our New Build Home
One of the most exciting parts of a new build is the ability to choose finishes – and our builder this time around was even more flexible than our last, which we are so grateful for. It’s one of the reasons we chose to buy from them – it was the most economical way to get a home designed to our tastes, without paying custom-build ...
Friday Five
It has been a LONG time since I published a Friday Five! To be honest, the last few weeks have been a blur. Now that we are moved into our new home, unpacked (though still lots of organizing and styling to do!) and a little more settled in, I feel like I can get back to this space. This week’s FF will be focused on our new home since so many of ...
Why I Started Using Retinol Again
Thank you, Olay, for sponsoring this post! When I was in my 20’s, I was sitting in the chair at my dermatologist’s office for a routine skin check and started asking some questions about anti-aging products. I still remember the conversation today: my dermatologist told me that retinol was the only ingredient with tons of science backing its ...
Friday Five
O N E One of the questions I’m seeing a lot is whether or not natural deodorants still work in the summer heat and through workouts – the answer is YES (at least for me they do!) Now that I’ve been using Native for two years, I find it works incredibly well – even at the pool, outdoors, etc. It will not stop you from sweating, but it will stop you ...

Lincoln’s Construction Truck Third Birthday Party
Our sweet Lincoln is THREE! We celebrated his birthday last weekend with family and friends and everyone had a blast. I thought I'd put together a quick post to share some of the party details with you! When I asked Lincoln what theme he wanted for his party, he said "construction trucks!" so I went with a blue and yellow theme and love how it ...
