Joey’s 6 Week Update + Schedule
In my last post I talked about how we are transitioning to life as four (in case you missed it, you can read that here). And since that post I’m feeling like a new woman because Joey is sleeping through the night! Yep, you read that right, my newborn slept through the night at just 6 weeks old. Want to now how? Then you’ll want to stick around and keep reading.
How We Survived Our Firth Month with a Newborn + Toddler
Well hello, friends! It’s been a hot minute since I’ve written a post, but as I’m sure you can guess (or know), it’s because we had a baby! On September 15th at 12:57am, we welcomed our sweet Joey Rae to the world and life has forever changed for the better.
Local Delivery with Smith Brothers Farm
With baby #2 quickly approaching, I’ve been trying to get the house as organized and streamlined as possible and that includes meal prepping. With a toddler and newborn in tow, I’m worried about finding time to do simple tasks like go to the grocery store. That’s why I was so excited to discover Smith Brothers Farms, a local family-owned and operated farm that has been serving the greater Puget Sound area for more than 90 years. They have grown to be one of the largest independent dairies in the region, processing and delivering the freshest milk and select Northwest products to more than 50,000 homes every week.
Why I’ve Decided to Go Back to School
When I graduated from college, I thought I knew exactly what I wanted to do with my life. I always loved Fashion and had this dream of being a “big wig” at a major fashion retailer or some sort of creative in that field. I decided to major in Communications at the University of Washington because that was the only option that was broad enough to cover almost any type of career. Most large university’s don’t offer specialized majors which leaves a lot of students pondering what they are going to do with their degree after they finish. But now there are so many options for schooling that offer a specialized career path and one of them is Interior Design! And it just so happens that one has opened here in Seattle, which is why I am so excited to share Heritage School of Interior Design with you!
All You Need to Know About Lake Chelan
We just returned from a week long vacation to the beautiful Lake Chelan in Eastern Washington and I received so many requests about this destination that I decided to write a blog post. I’m sharing how to book accommodations, what to pack and what to do in one of my favorite places in Washington!
How to Balance Family Life
As a family of three who is about to become four, this topic has been on my mind for quite some time now. But the question is - how do we balance it all? Even before kids I remember it being hard to find time to fit everything in and then you add a child into the mix and you better buckle up! But, I would like to think we’ve done a pretty good job of balancing it all. And today I’m sharing how.
When one of our past clients reached out with the unexpected news that they were moving, we knew we had to make their new house feel just as special as the home we had previously designed for them. This project was all about blending the pieces they loved with a brand-new space, honoring their nostalgia while creating fresh, intentional designs. From a stunning built-in bar area to a cozy, light-filled living room and a playful yet timeless kids' space, every detail was thoughtfully curated to reflect their family’s style.
