Happy December! Our schools have power again after the snow outage and after two days we are so, so grateful. ❤️

Ta da! ✨ Things are happening around here. 🎄

Living room update featuring a layout swap, new to me chairs, and a new rug! This living room is constantly evolving, this is the latest set up and it feels like a good one. Swipe for some befores, including when we saw it listed. Today is also the start of @loloirugs Fall WayDay campaign! A two day big promo with @wayfair. This rug can be found there, it’s linked in stories, and the best part is it’s 100% wool, handmade in India and GoodWeave certified. The texture is wonderful and it adds such nice visual interest and dimension to the space. Bonus: it’s on major sale. ✨ #TheLoloiLook

Happy Halloween from Hogwarts! 🪄🦇🧙 This family costume theme has been on Daniel’s radar for yeeeears and he’s ecstatic that we are finally pulling it off (and is very much in character!) Blaire as the snitch is the absolute best part. 😂 We’re on our favorite @microkickboard scooters (we all have them!) so easy for kids getting around on Halloween if you’ve got some serious ground to cover because the mini and maxi size both stay upright with three wheels. Less than one week to go! Have you been ready for weeks or are you headed to the store? (Or is your kiddo still deciding or changing their mind??) 😬 Halloween can be fun and also a lot. Hope yours is safe and magical. 💫

No island? No problem! I DIY’d this island a year ago when we first moved in thinking it would be a temporary solution and it has held up so well I think it’s going to be permanent. This is an ikea hack, it’s a $200 base cabinet with a faux quartz top (laminate!) also ikea. I added unlacquered brass knobs and stools around the back. The kids eat breakfast here everyday, I love the added storage and prep cooking space, and that view to the backyard is not half bad either. 😍 Win win.

First, I just dropped off Trey at KINDERGARTEN! 🍎 Very big day around here. Excited to get to show up here more, however that looks in this next season. Second, the newest @loloirugs collab launches today, with @chrislovesjulia. This is the Francis (FRA-04 in natural/pebble) and it layers in such nice subtle pattern, tone, and texture in this room. Perk: it’s 100% wool! Hard to find at a good price. Perfect fresh start for this new season for us (it’s going to be a good one). #CLJxLoloi

Traveling with small kids, challenge accepted. ✔️ If you’re a frequent flyer with kids, these are a game changer! We get stopped by multiple people every single time we fly asking us where we got them. They make getting through the airport a breeeeze. They are @microkickboard and linked in stories ✨

Parenting is such a trip sometimes and also coaches are our heroes. Trey’s first swim meet! In California! On the same team I grew up on! The most fun 💦

Mint chocolate chip milkshakes, family time, lake life, and 6 years of taking this same photo year after year on the dock. Happy 4th! 🇺🇸
