Christmas Living Room Styling
Christmas Living Room Styling is one of the most fun (and sometimes frustrating) activities of the year for me! This year, I am attempting to slowly add in a green and black color scheme. With all of the other colors mixed in too. Of course. Because there is no avoiding red (and/or plaid) at our house-haha!

Gift Guide: Gift Ideas for Him
Hi there! I shared this guide over on Instagram and Like to Know It a couple of weeks ago but just realized I never shared it here.

Powder Room Wallpaper
Good morning! I am so excited to share our Rylee + Cru Powder Room Wallpaper from Lulu & Georgia with you today. Finally! DISCLOSURE: This post contains affiliate links, meaning that if you click and purchase, I may receive some compensation. Thank you! Also… I don’t think this is meant to be bathroom wallpaper. I think it maybe even says somewhere that it’s not. But I loved it. And I had my heart set on it going in our powder room, which I decided wasn’t technically a bathroom since it doesn’t have a shower or bath in it.

Mackinaw Road: October Updates
Hi there! October flew by and I’m not quite sure what we did. We celebrated a birthday, watched our kids participate in various activities (and uber-ed them everywhere), and made some interior design decisions. Oh, and celebrated Halloween. And Diwali. In one day.
