Gratitude: what a huge predictor of our mood each day. I’ve been talking about this with Ollie a lot lately, how to practice gratitude and how powerful it is. When I physically say out loud what I’m grateful for each morning, before my feet even touch the ground: our family, our health, the beautiful desert we get to live in that surrounds us... it can make the things that may be weighing on our hearts feel a bit less daunting. The mind is so powerful. 💫

Noticing moments that spark joy, those small in between glimmers amongst the hustle that fuel our souls. It’s easy to get sucked in and hyper-focused on what’s next, but when we can see the good it’s often the simplest moments that mean the most. 🧡

This doesn’t mean problems go away or everything is perfect but perspective can lay such a strong foundation. ✨

Morning! ☀️ Time to open the shades and let the sunshine in. Here’s a peek at our little nook off the kitchen/coffee area. I find myself in here so much in the mornings. It’s such a cozy spot to curl up with coffee and a book while a record spins. With fall around the corner I’m looking forward to getting that fireplace going too. 🙌
.
The scale of the room and mix of materials really adds to the coziness of the space. We continued @theshadestore automatic roller shades in here as well. I tried so many samples with different colors and materials, here was our winning combo 👇🏼 Save for your next home window project…

Shade Material: Harper
Color: Ivory (perfect match to our creamy walls which is Dunn Edwards “Birch White”)
Reverse Roll (comes forward off the roll)
Hardware Mount: Black
.
Where’s your favorite spot to cozy up in your home?

A little equestrian… a little 70s… a whole lot of pattern. 🍂🍁🧶Fall outfit dreaming with some favorite pieces from @shopdoen’s Fall Chapter 2 Collection. 💫 Everything is so dreamy. 🙌

So much goes into making a house a home. 💫 You all have been on this journey with us, celebrating each milestone: finding this property and breaking ground, designing and selecting home finishes, unpacking and decorating, and now: getting our space ready for gatherings with friends and family. Well it took way longer than we anticipated but our outdoor kitchen and dining area is complete and it was just in time to host some of our favorite people this past weekend!
.
Check out the full space over on the blog with @thehomedepot, for all the photos and links. Creating a space to enjoy with those we love has always been at the forefront of this house design and that definitely includes the outdoor space as well. Cannot wait to fire up some pizzas in the @gozney oven and gather around this table. Outdoor living was such a huge part of why we were attracted to this place…🌵🙌💫why we wanted to create a home here, and #homedepot helped us bring it all to life. #sponsored #myhomedepot

Something about wearing a pretty dress that just changes your mood. 🙌I remember a few years back when everything was changing and yet the world felt like it was at a stand still, we were all home trying to make sense of things, getting dressed each morning and feeling good helped me show up for my family and keep some sense of normalcy at home.
.
I’ve kept that same mindset as time goes on, using the “good dishes”, fancy glasses just for water and wearing the pretty dresses even if it’s just to school drop off and at home. 😆🙌🧡 loving this @christydawn one made from regeneratively grown cotton in the sweetest print. Use my code 15CHRISTINA to save. 💫🌸

I’m a big believer in manifestation and writing down your goals. For me, when i can physically see something written down in front of me, i become more focused…...it gives me something to clearly work towards.💫 here’s to recognizing the good in our everyday and working towards creating more of those little moments. 🧡

TGIF! Dreaming of fall looks: cords, patchwork patterns and of course, boots 🙌💫🤠 @ranchroadboots is having an archive sale with up to 50% off all retiring styles. I’ll share some of my faves in stories. I scooped up these brown ones with a brass toe. So fun!

PS: cannot stop listening to this song 🙌

*wildlife spottings* 👀 #ad Can’t believe it’s officially been 5 months in the new house! We’re slowly making it feel like a home, and it’s really becoming a place we’re excited to spend time together and with friends. We recently installed the all new @Blink Outdoor 4 camera which was super easy - it’s wireless plus the battery life can last up to 2 years. I can monitor everything from the Blink Home Monitor App, including all our desert visitors…and catch my better half relocating a few hairy ones away from our door and safely back into the desert. 🤗🙈🌵🕷️ #blinkmoments
