Bears. Beets. Battlestar Galactica.

Sorry, I had to! You would have too right?! I can't talk about beets and not think of Dwight Schrute! Although, to be honest, I wasn't always as enthusiastic about them as Dwight.

“You can’t use up creativity. The more you use, the more you have.” - Maya Angelou | I am so grateful to have grown up in a creative home. While I’m sure my parents noticed creativity in me from an early age, I also know that they made it a priority for me too. I did dance lessons, art lessons and music lessons most of my childhood….

When people hear that T.J. and I have been photographers for the last 10, they often say things like “Wow! You must have so many great photos of your family!” And that’s true! But you’d never know it if you walked into our house. I think that because I already post a lot of our images here….

At the end of last month, T.J. and I celebrated our 10th wedding anniversary. Ten. YEARS! That feels a little crazy. We took a short trip to Philadelphia for just one night and on our drive down to the city, we chatted about all of the things we've learned, done, seen, and loved. And one topic we got talking about, and therefore laughing about, was cats.

It’s difficult to write about years of marriage. I feel like I should have something epic to say now that Brooke and I are celebrating a decade of being married. Yet as I sit here and type, delete and re-type again…

I have always been a fan of almost anything with Swiss cheese. So naturally, I picked this sandwich off of a menu at a food truck one time a few years back and haven't stopped thinking about it since then. I knew right then and there that it was going to become a staple in my grilled cheese index. What? You don't have a grilled cheese index?

I have a very vivid memory of "the best french toast I've ever had." Oddly enough, it was in Jamaica. I was there on a trip in high school with my church and we'd just spent a week up in the mountains and the day before we flew home…

My Mom turned 60 this week and as a surprise for her birthday, I gave her patio a little makeover with help from Tuesday Morning.

Not long after Sunny was born and my life felt crazy for a variety of reasons, I was looking for ways to simplify my life even more. I just needed to make fewer "in the moment" decisions every day because my brain and heart were at full capacity! One of the ways I did that was by ordering my groceries online…

Hands down, one of my favorite ways to slow down and connect with the people I love is around the table. Food brings people together in ways that almost nothing else can. But, if you're one of those people who thinks "Ahhh hosting is the worst, I'd have to cook a bunch of food!" I'm here to tell you that's just not the case. There's this magical little secret, my friends, and it's called a charcuterie board. You literally don't have to cook anything. Can I get an amen?!

June’s room has been arranged so many different ways in the last four years. But here's what I've learned, and to be honest love, about kid's rooms: they can change just as quickly as your little one does, and it's awesome that way.

If you had told me this time last year that my brother and his family would be our actual next door neighbors come Christmas, I would have laughed. Not because that wouldn't have been amazing, of course! 

The beginning of this month marked nine years of living in our little 1929 home. That sounds crazy to me! To think that when we purchased our first home nine years ago, we didn't have any kids, or cats, or clue what we would be doing nine years later!

When Minted reached out to feature some of their art, I don't think I've ever replied faster to an email because I love Minted. We've used them before for our Christmas cards, and other things in our house, and I always jump at the chance to get my hands on real, framed art!

Summer is still in full force, and that calls for crisp salads with grilled chicken and peaches. You thought I was done putting peaches in everything, didn't you? Ha! Never

One of our favorite things to do as a family is shop at the local farmer's market that is open on Tuesdays. Not only can you get some of the best prices and freshest food in town while you're there, but it's also such a fun experience for kids

Y'all. If you're looking for a way to basically eat summer for breakfast, this is it. Blended frozen peaches topped with sliced bananas, chia seeds, pecans, dragon fruit and blackberries that are ready to burst -- what could be better?! 

Y'all. This Peaches & Biscuits dessert is about to become your new go-to summertime favorite. It is such an easy recipe and gives you get another reason to eat loads of peaches while they're at the peak of their season and flavor.

To be honest, I don't think I could count on two hands the amount of Munchkin products we have in our house! Wipe warmer, cups, baby gates, utensils, training potty, snack grabbers, car gadgets, and endless bath toys...
