We’ve been doing as much Michigan-ing as possible, which is partly (okay, probably mostly) due to home projects, partly to soak up all the fall feels. We spent several days last week and over the weekend at Tree House, and the leaves are thisclose to exploding into bright yellows, oranges and reds. The tree tips were starting […]

The Weekender
the perfect rain jacket | boots | baby carrier We can’t thank you enough for all of the encouragement and enthusiasm you shared with us during our big backyard makeover! So, so many of you sent us messages simply to cheer us on, and that meant a lot to us while we worked those long hours. […]
The Weekender
Our Tree House workflow ebbs and flows, but with a big backyard project coming up and a closet overhaul we’ve been noodling on for weeks, it’s safe to say that we’re back in the thick of it. During the one and a half hour drive from Chicago, I open our to-do list while Scott keeps […]
The Weekender
We’re so excited to finally be kicking off a (sometimes) Friday series that we’re calling The Weekender! It’s been at the top of our list for far too long; we wanted a place to talk about anything. Everything. Nothing at all. (Okay, but really, maybe we can talk about the twinklings of a DIY idea, current […]
The Week’s End
At the tail end of last week, Scott and I packed our bags and stole away for an extra long weekend in San Francisco. Our yearly tradition has always been to discover a new city on or around our November wedding anniversary, and although we’ve spent a good amount of time in SF in the […]
The (Week and) Week’s End
It’s been far too long since I’ve photographed our weekend (or in this case, our week, too!), and with our friend Kalli visiting from Los Angeles this past week, it was the perfect reason to get back into the habit. Well, that, and the warm weather we’ve been having! It’s always so good to see […]
The Week’s End
For the last handful of years around Christmas, we play a game of tourists in the city; we book a hotel downtown for a weekend, and we do whatever we’d like, whenever we’d like. We walked slowly, with no rush or reason to speed past others on the city sidewalks, we hopped in and out […]
While We Were Out
Just as we have in years past, Scott and I toasted our five year wedding anniversary with a getaway – and as luck would have it, we found ourselves in Playa del Carmen (yes, again!) to share in our friends’ wedding day. We’d never been to Mexico until this year, and yet there we were, […]
The Week’s End
As a reward for a job well done within Scott’s company, we were flown to Playa del Carmen, Mexico for an extra long weekend. (We know; we’re still pinching ourselves.) I consumed so many pineapples (boozy and otherwise), that I’m surprised I didn’t grow a prickly top before returning home! We rested, we played, we […]
The Week’s End (and the Teeniest of Sneak Peeks)
Over dinner on Saturday night, our friend Jess told us that she imagined our weekends played to the soundtrack of Flight of the Bumblebee. I almost choked on my wine, and we were still laughing at that thought on Sunday night, because you guys, the last couple of days really felt that way. We spent […]
