The 4 Active But CUTE Swimsuits I Bought To Play With My Kids On Spring Break (+ Our Favorite Past Swimsuit Posts)

Emily’s 6 Favorite Green Paint Colors She Would Use Again And Again
It felt like an appropriate day to show love for what feels like the world’s most popular color – green. While I’m more of an expert in “blue,” its sister color – green – is also a favorite and beloved by most people. We know that the design world is LOVING reds, burgundies, mauves –…

Backyard Updates: Plants, Plans, Big Trees And Bigger Gazebos
Very exciting stuff is happening in the “backyard” right now as we entered phase two of landscape construction (that we put off for a couple of years to save and learn). The main goals of this phase were outlined in this blog post, but essentially it was reducing the size of the sports court (for…
