Today, we're chatting all about our decorating styles and plans for our homes this spring and summer. We share about some recent furniture purchases and discuss the little ways we plan to get the inside and outside of our homes ready for the season ahead!

May is a beautiful, chaotic mess—and if you're in the thick of end-of-school activities, packed schedules, and nonstop demands, you're not alone. In this episode, we're keeping it real about what this season looks like for our families and how we're staying (mostly) sane through it all. From color-coded calendars to mindset shifts, self-care hacks, and family rituals that keep us grounded, we're sharing the ways we find joy, reset when needed, and try to soak in the good stuff—no matter how busy life gets.

As busy moms, feeding our families (and ourselves!) is always on our minds. In this episode, we share some of our easy, crowd-pleasing dinner ideas, as well as some new recipes we've cooked lately. We also answer a yummy rapid-fire of our favorite "girl dinners," comfort foods, desserts and more!
