Merry Christmas
From our family to yours, Merry Christmas!
Home
Maybe it’s because Scott and I have spent so much of our lives all over the place, and before moving to Virginia we lived in a different state what seemed like every year. Maybe it’s because that’s the norm for …
California Living with AirBnB
My parents are early adopters. They’re always ahead of the curve. A new piece of tech comes out, they have it. A new trend shows up on social media, they’re already aware of it. They were on social media before …
The Home Front Gift Guide
I know what you’re thinking. Trust me, I can hear your eyes rolling from here. You’re thinking no, please no, not another gift guide. Because they’re everywhere this time of year. Every blogger you know has rolled out their gift guide. …

I’ve got a ton of work to do before the holidays hit, so what better time to go do a little food exploring? The Food Exploring series is a way to revisit adventures I’ve been on around the world that …

This is my kid…but you guys, this totally is my kid. Look at the joy. The pure, undiluted joy on his face as he tears into his smash cake like a ravenous little velociraptor. More than the blonde hair and the blue …
My Decluttering Adventure
Back at the end of March, I shared a post that outlined our plan for some serious spring decluttering at the house. We haven’t revisited it since then, but for those of you who follow me over on Instagram, you …
Signs of Spring
Oh, hey guys! How’ve you been? Things have been quieter around On the Home Front this month. Partly because I’ve been swept away by the craze of work {remember that workaholic tendency I’ve talked about?}. And I’ve also started a …
Mise en Place
Over the last few years, I’ve been on a number of adventures around the world that have opened my eyes and inspired me to think in different ways. A lot of these adventures have inspired valuable lessons that have stuck …
