By now you’re probably either in full Thanksgiving mode or you’ve seen so many gorgeous decorations on social media you’ve brought your trimmings down from the attic or up from the basement. Whatever stage of this process you’re in right now, I hope you’re taking extra special care of yourself. Holiday decorating takes so much longer than people ever admit, #amiright? Here are a few of my favorite things from around the web this week….

Today has me thinking about military families across the globe as we celebrate Veteran’s Day in the US. I can hardly believe my dad has been retired for a little over 2 years now. It seems like just yesterday he was trying to decide how he would spend his retirement. I’m excited to say he’s…

How has your week been? As many of you know, last week, we took an extra-long weekend to visit family in the mountains and celebrate an early Thanksgiving. This week I’ve been inspired by all things cabin, family get togethers and masculine spaces. Here are a few of my favorite things from around the web….

I can’t believe we’re already at the middle of the month. It totally blows my mind Halloween is just a few weeks away. Do you guys have your costumes ready yet? We live too far out to get any trick-or-treaters but it’s always fun to watch the littles dress up and get excited about all the candy. If you’re in the middle of party planning or looking for fabulous pumpkin carving ideas, here are a few things I found from around the web this week to inspire you…

I know I say this at the end of every month but I can’t believe this one is coming to an end. How has your September been? It’s definitely been an exciting one having finished the kitchen makeover and rewarded ourselves with a long weekend of rest. It felt like such a gift.

How’s it going you guys? Are you excited about the progress you’ve made this week or do you find yourself needing a major power nap? If you shouted power nap, I can totally relate. I am over the moon excited to be taking a much needed three-day weekend to completely rest and I hope whatever you’re doing this weekend you’re excited about it too. Here are my favorite things from around the web this week, with an unabashed nod to all things relaxing…

You guys, can you believe it’s already the middle of September? I can’t even wrap my head around that idea. How has your week been? Have you guys seen all of the fall home tours this week? They are so gorgeous! Here’s a look at what I’m loving around the web this week…

I don’t want to get all crazy from the get-go but if anyone heard a bit of screamin’ and hollerin’ coming from this little cottage yesterday, it was probably me. I can finally see the top of my dining room table, the table in the breakfast area AND the console table behind the sofa. Does that mean everything is tidied up and put away? Heck, no! But it does show serious signs of progress. Here are a few things I’m loving from around the web this week….

As I write this post, late Thursday, we’re officially as ready as we can be for Hurricane Hermine. I think we’re going to be ok but you can never be too cautious so we’re taking a full “batten down the hatches approach” just to be on the safe side. Life is such a crazy adventure sometimes. Here’s a few things I’m loving from around the web this week…

How’s it going for you guys this week? Are you feeling productive, empowered, tired? I’m feeling a little combination of all of those things because we’ve finally started on the kitchen and I’ve spent a good portion of my time sanding…and then more sanding…and then sanding again. Here are a few things I’m loving from around the web this week and a peek at what’s happening on the front porch…

How’s your week going? It’s been a productive week for us which is always fun. Have you guys been watching the Olympics? I normally go to bed pretty early but the events have all been really good. The sheer determination these athletes have after all the years of training is super impressive. Here are a few things we’re loving from around the web this week…
