marble pastry slab | cooling rack If you feel like you’re in a toddler snack rut, run to this post! I had just finished whipping up another batch of Lucy’s Power Muffins (more on that in a second), but we felt ourselves falling into a routine of monthly muffin baking, and we were in desperate need […]

An Easy, Fun + Colorful Holiday Hosting Idea (+ a Giveaway!)
This post is in partnership with Amara. Are you the Hosting Household for holiday festivities? Every year around this time, the chatter begins amongst our friends about who will be in town (most of us) and who will be down to lounge in pajamas all day and eat pie (yes, please). Often times, we’ll gather […]
Let’s Go to the method South Side Soap Box!
This post is in partnership with Grove Collaborative. We’re sharing a free offer for new and existing subscribers at the end of this post! Last week, our friends at Grove Collaborative and method invited us down to Chicago’s Pullman Historic District for a tour of method’s South Side Soap Box, which included a stop through Gotham Greens, their […]
A Mini + Impactful Kitchen Update
This is a sponsored conversation written by me on behalf of Delta® Faucet. This past October, Delta® Faucet invited us to the Food52 test kitchen in New York, where we were encouraged to eat our weight in pinwheels, coconut bars and chocolate. (Needless to say, I was more than happy to oblige!) Sadly, Scott was unable […]
A Night In
This post is in partnership with Anolon for A Night In. It was a bad DIY day. We started out on a positive note. We’re going to finally finish the laundry room today!, we said. Early on, we ran into a few road blocks. We roamed the aisles of the hardware store a little too long, […]
Stout + Ice Cream = A Great Idea
A couple years ago, we shared one of our favorite summer sweet treats, porter shakes! It’s still our go-to during the warmer months, but even easier, we tried a similar take in float form. In this month’s taste test, we partnered with Pinhole Press and upped the cute factor for Scott; that is, with Father’s […]
The 4th (and a Print Shop Sale!)
Happy birthday, America! To celebrate, we’ll be eyeballs deep in drywall dust – literally, since you’ll find us on a ladder, hammering away at the ceiling of our new home. The rest of this week and weekend will be spent in our finest painting clothes, and as soon as we pick up the old trash […]
Porter Shakes
In addition to regular ol’ beer tasting, sipping and overall indulgence while in Kalamazoo last weekend, we drank our desserts, too. I’ve been meaning to try this recipe out for a while, and so in the grand tradition of celebrating newborn babies with a toast (right?), we happily welcomed our newest family member with milkshakes […]
One Last Chili Go Round
With daylight savings behind us (which, by the way, is anyone else still having a hard time waking up?), we’re so looking forward to spring and sunshine, and we’ve really enjoyed powering down our laptops before the sun sets. We’re thisclose to warmer weather, but in Chicago, you’ll still find us bundled in puffy coats […]
Our Favorites’ Favorites: The Fauxmartha
Kicking off the week of our favorites’ favorites is The Fauxmartha, a new to us read. Melissa is a graphic designer by day, but she bakes (and bakes and bakes!) by night. Her photography is simply stunning, but it’s her amazing from-scratch-with-love recipes that reeled us in. Pin, pin, pin. One short month ago I […]
