We’re settling into lake life at our parents just fine. It’s our annual trek to Michigan for some serious lake time at Gram and Gramps’ house. I’m pretty sure the girls have already logged in some serious time behind the boat. Michigan is such a special place. We certainly make some memories here – from…
My “To Do list” seems absolutely endless with the move. I shared a few weeks back that I moved from San Francisco to Indianapolis after 20 years living in the city. We bought our first home this summer after being renters forever. There is so much to do as first time homeowners. So much! I have…

Our love for smoothies continues with this protein–packed Chocolate Banana Smoothie recipe. Although in our house we call it the “Choco Banana” named after a favorite breakfast restaurant in Sayulita, Mexico! But, it is safe to say that this smoothie is a family favorite recipe.

You know we love a good tassel and pom pom project, right? I still have this pom and tassel garland hanging in my studio! There is just something about the bright pops of colors that make me so happy. Our latest Craft Supply of the Month challenge with Oriental Trading is all about the mini…
You know how we give the kids reading goals every summer? Local libraries have summer reading programs with goal charts and stickers, prizes and all kinds of good stuff.
