You are in for a treat! I got to tour the most character filled Coastal home in my neighborhood. I actually saw this home in our local Fairfield, Connecticut magazine. I then realized that we ride bikes by it all the time on the way to my girls school or the beach. They are just a short walk to our local beach. Not to mention that yellow door is very distinct and eye catching. I reached out to Gaelle and asked if I could come peep inside her home, because I am a creeper like that:) and I knew all of you would LOVE to see this. A Coastal home like this needs to be shared with the world! Gaelle ... Read More
Fall Decor in our Family Room- Seasons of Home Series
Are you ready for a little Fall Decor now? It is officially Fall in my eyes. My girls walked in from school the other day and Ella, my oldest said "It feels like Fall in here, good job Mom!" (this Family Room is the first room they see off the bus). She just knows how to make her mom happy. I love that she said it "feels" rather than "looks". Fall is a feeling. I am happy to be joining Ella Claire Inspired and her blogging tour again this week for Seasons of Home. Today is all about our Family Rooms and the simple touches we add to create that Fall feeling. Let's get started! Our Family ... Read More
Friday Favorites starts with a Solution to Light Rugs
Are you a no-shoe house? I like our family to take them off but I never ask guests to remove their shoes. Do you? I mean I can see why some people do. Light rugs can be really hard to keep clean! We try not to wear shoes in Finn's nursery but sometimes we end up walking in with them on. Or Finn will bring a big thing of dish soap into his room and pour it on the rug. No? That doesn't happen to you? Well luckily I did catch him before it got too messy, but there was still a spot. So I was pretty thrilled to discover a new rug line! Lorena Canals washable rugs! They have a lot of great ... Read More

Paleo Fall Dinner- Paleo Pumpkin Chili and Paleo Bread
I love a yummy, healthy Fall dinner. Especially one that I can make in the morning before it gets crazy at night and everyone is starving. I typically share Paleo recipes on my blog. Because that is what we eat. Now don't get me wrong, we do not eat this way 100% of the time. But it is the goal. My kids do eat all the regular things kids eat (i.e.- Nutella!). But I eat really close to Paleo all the time. I just feel my best self. I know it is not for everyone. That is why I am sharing this EASY Paleo Fall Dinner recipe- Paleo Pumpkin Chili AND Paleo Bread! I want to show you that eating Paleo ... Read More

We will break-down each part of our homes for Fall, hopefully creating an easy place for you to come when you are looking for Holiday Home Decor Ideas and Recipes! ... Read More
Friday Favorites Starts with Pillows
My new Mudcloth Pillows are just making me so happy. There is so much devastation right now with Texas it has been hard to not feel guilty and silly for being happy about pillows. Even just doing normal everyday things- like taking my kids to school, that is not happening in Texas. I almost didn't share my new pillows, but I thought they are a good distraction right now with the disturbing news. And over on my Instagram you could win two pillows- so maybe that would brighten someones day. If you haven't noticed the pillow trend of Mudcloth yet- well it's strong! Here are some of my favorite ... Read More

I am excited to join "Taste of the Season" hosted by the talented Kristin from Ella Claire. This will be a series over the holiday season, a group of bloggers sharing recipes and today is apples! No cake for me on my birthday. Give me Apple Crisp all day everyday!

She had never made anything Paleo and had to go to the store to find things like almond flour and coconut flour. It was so thoughtful because even on my ... Read More
