As most of you know…we don't have a garage with this 1950's house. It was a big adjustment when we moved from our Utah home that had an attached garage. Actually a lot of homes around us don't have attached garages, and if they have a garage it ends up being a storage shed. We had a shed, but we took it down with intentions to build a shed then it turned into a mini home gym (I think I should say shed one more time:) shed. There is storage behind the gym for our lawnmower and yard tools, but we were lacking bike storage! Plus I have wanted a place to hide our garbages for awhile now, so we ... Read More
Fall Front Porch with New Paint on Front Door
We painted our door a different version of the pink…a little richer, more of a salmon pink. I felt ready for a change, but we still love a pink door, it is fun to be "the house with the pink door". Painting your front door is an easy update, it can be a fun seasonal change and decorating our front porch seasonally is probably one of my favorite things. Why is decorating my porch my favorite thing? Thanks for asking! I got thinking about it after I spotted a 12' skeleton at The Home Depot. At first I walked by it and thought, that is ridiculously large and crazy. Why would you put a huge s ... Read More
Two Favorite EASY Fish Recipes
Kevin makes salmon weekly, everyone eats it in our house and loves it. We are sharing the simplest way he makes it today! His mom taught him the recipe. Just a little dill, honey and butter (or ghee). And we are sharing a plantain crusted cod recipe, that Kevin just made up the other night. The girls said the plantain crusted cod fish looked like it had cereal on top and tasted like it….so they loved it! ha! Both are too good not to share. Honey and Dill Salmon Recipe Plantain Crusted Cod Fish We cooked the plantain crusted cod fish in our air fryer. We have had it f ... Read More
Bringing a Puppy into our Nest- All about Noah
Welcome to the family, Noah! Lola was the one who wanted a dog the most, and somehow one day it just happened, her dreams came true. And really, all of us are so in love with this little puppy! We were at the right point in our family life to be able to add a puppy to the mix. After traveling to Utah and visiting family, Lola was a little sad one day about missing family (although when I asked her if she wanted to move to Utah, she quickly said no). It is always hard to be away from family, even if you are happy where you are. She has had some personal things we were working through ... Read More

A Bedroom for a 5 Year old or 16 Year Old Girl Makeover
We asked all of our Nesting with Grace community to submit kids bedrooms that they would like the opportunity for us to makeover. We had an overwhelming response and wish we could do them all. In the end we decided to do this makeover for a 5 year old little girl, Kaia who was diagnosed with stage 4 Neuroblastoma. She is undergoing chemo and surgeries and is doing great. We really wanted to brighten her and her family's day. Kaia was sleeping on a toddler bed and was ready for an official big girl bed! The bed I picked for her can carry her through adulthood!! (I want it!!) Thank you ... Read More
The Nest- Our Home Gym
About 4 months ago we tore down our old shed (that had been there since 1950!) and replaced it with a larger shed aka... a glorified home gym! THE NEST! We feel very lucky we could do this. Kevin works out every single morning at 6:30 am. I still workout at our local CrossFit every morning at 5:30 am. We both really value our health and the fact that we CAN physically move. I pray everyday in my car before going back into the house, my prayer always includes a HUGE prayer of thanks that I can move my body. It is truly a gift. Both of us workout for our physical and mental health. Needless to ... Read More

Our backyard has had some major work done this year. We have loved taking you along with the transformation we have been dreaming of and saving for since we moved in five years ago! You may think that with cooler temperatures and shorter days on their way, we may be thinking of packing up the backyard and heading in for the year. NO WAY! Just because summer is shortly coming to a close, doesn’t mean that we will stop using this fun new space.
