Planning and planting our vegetable garden is one of my favorite springtime activities. The benefit of living in Southern California is that I can garden all year long but there is something fun about warm weather vegetable gardens. Planning, planting, watching the progress, and eventually enjoying the output. It's so satisfying. Our property has a [...]
The laundry room is finally done and you guys, I am so beyond thrilled with how it turned out. Is it possible that the smallest room in our house is now my favorite space to be in? It all started with a post on Nesting with Grace about a $20 light she found. I literally [...]

We are not hosting Thanksgiving this year but I'm day dreaming of our Thanksgiving table from last year and all the good moments that were shared around it. It was simple yet festive. This was before starting my own blog had ever crossed my mind, I was pregnant with Little Nugget and loved my day [...]
