Even in Phoenix, we have a season called winter. Ha! It isn’t the winter you have come to know traditionally, but we wear our sweaters and coats when the temps fall below 60 degrees. It’s all we can do, and we love dressing for the cold weather, so we’ve gotten used to that state of mind. Sorry New Yorkers, we know 60 degrees sounds like a lovely spring day, but it’s all we have!
We made it to the first weekend of the year! That’s no easy accomplishment. Ha! We definitely stumbled our way through the week as we dusted off our brains and tried using them after some much needed time off from most-things-work. The holiday season is always a favorite time of year, but man, it crushed us this year. We were both…
Having time at home lately has been so gratifying. It’s made us want to organize every pantry, drawer, closet and keep everything more tidy than ever. Maybe its the new year, or just the neat freaks in us coming on strong lately, but we decided to pack away all the Christmas decorations a little earlier … Continue reading “GIVEAWAY: Post Holiday Clean-up with BISSELL”
Each January 1st we find ourselves reflecting on the year that just past. The highs, the lows, what worked for us as a couple and as a business, and what didn’t. Thoughts of what we would change and talking about what we were fortunate for in 2017, as well as our hopes for the new … Continue reading “Year in Review: 2017”
As 2017 comes to an end, we’ve started to think about personal goals and things we want to work on in the new year. The hardest thing for us in 2017 has been getting our butts in the kitchen to make a meal. It’s hasn’t been easy for us to stop working when we have … Continue reading “New Recipes for the New Year”
The other day we finished up the last of our wrapping, stuffing the stockings and placing everything under the tree, but if you still need a few gift ideas, or are just planning out what you’re going to spend those gift cards on, there’s still a ton of sales floating around the web. I rounded up a few favorites from Nordstrom, Shopbop, and Neiman Marcus via ShopStyle…
Sometimes you just want breakfast for dinner and the other night we were craving just that…cinnamon apple pancakes to be exact. It really hit the spot in the cozy department and made the kitchen smell sooo good too. We’ve been bookmarking cozy recipes on Pinterest lately and this one caught our eyes. We recently added a KitchenAid® Artisan® Stand Mixer to … Continue reading “Breakfast for Dinner”
Growing up I had small hypoallergenic dogs…they didn’t really shed, so I never knew what the upkeep was like for a mix like Henry. I never wanted to be one of those people that showed up for work or a dinner with dog hair all over dark clothing…
I feel like when you have guests coming to stay with you, bedding and a cozy place to retreat to each evening is always the first thing on everyone’s mind. Making sure the linen closet is stocked with soft throws, fresh sheets and pillowcases is definitely important (SNOWE’s bedding bundle will help you get your guestroom or even that pull out sofa ready in cinch and create a luxury experience), but what about the bathroom? We recently did a simple refresh in our guest bath for the holidays.
Sometimes it feels like it can be impossible for budget friendly gifts to have a big wow factor and feel special. I often think of Christmas with the Kranks when the holiday season rolls around and the talk about gift giving begins. If you’re not familiar with the movie, Tim Allen says they spent over $6,000 last year on Christmas and he’s going to boycott the holiday and go on a cruise. Ha! Well, you don’t need to go to such drastic measures to have a happy holiday season and still treat those you love.
