    pretty everything : toilet brushes

    in my lifelong battle to try to never buy ugly things, i’m going to try to do these roundups as more of a regular series (…have i said this before?) since we’re renovating the bathroom, i’ve been on the hunt for an attractive modern toilet brush, so of course i wanted to round up my favorites for you!

    these range from around $10-$85 so there’s one for every budget (i decided to exclude one that was really handsome but $175 because i’m all about pretty things but honestly who would spend that.)

    our primary bathroom : the plan

    our final room renovation! it’s actually sort of sad! but also so happy. we chose to do our guest bathroom before the primary because it’s the one everyone uses and we wanted to have it nice for arlo, but oh man i am so ready to enjoy our own bathroom.Read More

  • printable spring/summer bucket list

    since i made the bucket list for last fall/winter, obviously i had to do another one! while i didn’t finish every item on our list, we filled the whole list and only left a handful of things undone. it was actually really nice to have because on weekends when we didn’t have plans, we could just look at our list and choose something on there to do– i honestly think it pushed to do way more activities than we have in the past. so now i’m a big fan. Read More

  • vanessas bedroom — after

    yay! i e-designed a space! in case you missed the before yesterday, i virtually designed my friend vanessa’s bedroom via email, text and facetime. and i am so happy with how much better it looks. i’m now helping her with her new studio space too!

  • vanessas bedroom — before

    for years and years i’ve wanted to introduce other spaces besides only my own on here but never have — but finally doing it today! my friend vanessa told me she was struggling with making her bedroom cute and asked me to help out. i thought it would be super fun to design her room virtually (because she lives in san diego), so we did everything via email and text and i’m so happy with how it turned out.Read More

    printable 2019 oscar ballots

    i actually forgot i was even responsible for making oscar ballots for you guys until i got lots of DM asking — i have been passionately un-passionate about the movies this year. i feel like even the academy is like UGH maybe next year will be cool for movies!

    but anyway, as it is the time for my annual oscar movie rant/review, and i do sort of enjoy binging on oscar movies a few weeks prior so it’s a little bit more fun to watch the actual oscars, here is what i saw : Read More

  • baby on board — car magnet!

    so excited to share that i’ve updated the baby on board sticker, and it now comes in magnet form. honestly i didn’t even know car magnets were a thing until i got a ton of requests for one! it sticks on a car instantly and can be removed instantly as well! i’m so so happy with how they turned out. hope you like ’em too!

  • super simple chilaquiles (aka CHILL-aquiles)

    stupid name i know, but how could i not!? i get asked a lot about the simple recipes i share on instagram stories so i thought i would try to start sharing them more often like i used to!

    i wasn’t planning on making this one a post, obviously– because i took one photo of it, but i thought i might as well post it because otherwise i’ll talk about doing it in the next few weeks and that’ll turn into months and then i’ll forget. so one photo it is!

    we looove (verde) chilaquiles, i mean i order it anytime it’s on a menu anywhere basically, but as you probably know i’m not one for doing anything too ambitious, so the concept of making my own tomatillo salsa from actual tomatillos that you would buy and then put in a food processor is just not really ever going to happen. or if it does, i’ll do it once and talk about how i did it that one time and it was time consuming af. but this method is so simple you could basically do it every weekend! it takes like 20 mins! a few months ago i just whipped this up randomly and we loved it so much i’ve made it a few times since. Read More

    arlo’s bedtime routine (at 18 months)

    this post is in partnership with soraa home

    we get asked about all our routines with arlo a lot, so i’m always happy to have a reason to share! we’ve moved arlos bedtime around quite a bit, always trying to figure out what works best for us. he’s gone to sleep as early as 7 and as late as 9, right now we are aiming for 730-745, and his nap is usually around 1:45.
