I have some really exciting news for you guys! You know CVS, right? Well they contacted me recently and wanted to know if I would help them spread the word that they are carrying a whole bunch of healthy food. They rattled off a ton of brands that we love, so I was intrigued. They sent…

Inexpensive DIY Chalkboard
You can call me cheap, but I like to think I’m frugal 😉 Thrifty is another word that comes to mind, but it conjures up images of the thrift store (or is that just me?), and most of my decor is from home stores like Marshalls (soooo looking forward to those marked down Le Creuset in…
Whiteface Lodge in Lake Placid, NY
When I think back on all the places that we’ve stayed on vacation through the years, there are only one or two hotels that I can still picture. Countless others left no memory. I remember the cities and sightseeing with my family, but not the hotel. Lake Placid’s Whiteface Lodge, on the other hand, is completely unforgettable. If…
organic makeup love
I am on cloud 9 right about now. Organic makeup, with ingredients good enough to eat, paleo certified. Say whaaat?? I know, I can still hardly believe it myself!

outdoor living
eco-friendly dump truck and sand toy set (these things are so durable too!) THIS is what it’s all about. Playin’ in the backyard. Makes my heart SO happy. Our outdoor living has looked SO different over the years. There was our green-built duplex in Colorado, which was very public: front yards only. But we had a rec…
Palm Springs Getaway at the Avalon Hotel
Before I dive into this post, I have to say how psyched I am about the new blog header up there! ☝️ My partner in business, family, life, and everything, Andrew designed our new Spunky logo (so cutie-patootie). After struggling with where to position the new logo on the blog for at least a week, we took a new…
Gluten-free Playdough recipe
One of my favorite go-to’s when the kids don’t know what to do with themselves is my gluten-free playdough recipe or “salt dough” as we call it. The salt keeps the dough fresh in an airtight bag for a couple months at least, so it’s ready to go. Ashley will press the dough for a long time,…
