Playing Creative Catch Up

09.22.2014

20140918_200730

Sorry for the late post this morning guys and gals! I am playing major catch up from my trip to NYC last week for the Better Homes and Gardens Stylemaker workshop. It was a fabulous time spent with some pretty incredible people (as evidenced above—Jeran, Rachel, Sarah), but the whirlwind trip north left me with a neglected to-do list about a mile long.

While I’m off trying to whittle that down, feel free to keep up to date on all the behind the scenes action on Instagram. This week I’ll be focusing a good amount of energy on my part in this season’s Home Depot Halloween Style Challenge, so be prepared for lots of ghoulish, gourd-filled sneak peeks.

Happy Monday!

#ad | Chessie and I wanted to pop in to tell you about some of her latest pet-focused favorites 🐕🧡

🛏️ @KurandaDogBeds: This made-in-the-USA Kuranda Dog Bed is a hit with ALL the pets in our household 🐱🐶🐈‍⬛ It’s got a chew-proof frame, and the soft washable bed pad has elastic bands to hold it in place. I also appreciate that the design is meant to ease pressure on Chessie’s joints as she gets older.

🥣 @noodpetfood: Chessie loves that her bowl of Nood Dry Dog Chicken and Vegetable Recipe includes tasty cage-free chicken as the first ingredient, and I love that it’s free from wheat, soy, preservatives, flavors, and artificial colors. Grab some for your pup now at Target!

🌿 @costafarms: Our indoor garden just got greener with the addition of a new Norfolk Island Pine and Holiday Cactus from Costa Farms. The BEST part is that they’re safe to have around our pets. Use promo code “BABBLE15” through 1/31/25 for 15% off holiday plants on costafarms.com.

🦴 @wetnosesinc: Food is our rescue pup’s love language. These Moments Pumpkin Pie Big Bones and Beef Stew Bones are made from (Chessie-approved!) ingredients that meet strict FDA standards for human consumption—how cool is that?! Save 25% on your first order with code “babblebox25.”

Grab links to everything I’ve talked about today in my Instagram Stories and/or my IG link in bio 🛒💻🐾

Since getting diagnosed with UC earlier this month

Since getting diagnosed with UC earlier this month and learning that stress is a major trigger for flare-ups, I’m prioritizing self care more than ever. I’m eating better, drinking far less alcohol, savoring my nighttime routine to get better sleep, and plan to get back into my yoga routine as soon as I regain some of my lost weight and muscle mass. It’s going to be a process and I’m sure I’ll still have bad days, but I’m ALREADY feeling so much more centered! I’m 100% making self care my focus for the New Year. What about you? 🎄🎁🎅🏼🕯️ Psssssst…Our beloved @houseofnoa_ bath mat is on sale right now for Black Friday, along with everything on their website! Swipe to see Joe modeling it when he was still with us over the summer ❤️ Use my code “CARRIE” to score our exact mat for $127.20 (regularly $159). Don’t wait—inventory is limited!!! Comment or DM me if you have any questions about their bath mats and/or standing mats since we have both (and looooooove them) 🙌🏼💻 gifted

Now that Thanksgiving is in the books for another

Now that Thanksgiving is in the books for another year, the Christmas-ing can OFFICIALLY begin!!! 🎄🎅🏼🎁🕯️Here’s a look at the holiday mantel styling I did at our house this year. My favorite part is that framed photo print that I ordered from @canvasdiscount_com as the centerpiece. It’s a picture I snapped of my sister and her pup while picking out our Christmas tree at @franciscotreefarm ❤️❄️ It’s the perfect subtlely sweet nod to the holiday season, and I love seeing it displayed on our mantel every day! Use code “DREAMGREEN20” to score a 20% discount off anything from CanvasDiscount.com now through December 31 so you can memorialize your OWN favorite Christmas traditions (or use it to score gifts for your photo-loving friend/family member!) 🙌🏼📸 (gifted/ad)

I’ve almost hit my reading goal of 45 books read

I’ve almost hit my reading goal of 45 books read in 2024! 🙌🏼🧡📚 As exciting as that is, though, I feel like 45 was wayyyyyyy too many. I pushed myself to read as quickly as I could, and now when I look back at my “books read” list I can’t even tell you what some of them were about! I guess there comes a point when you simply read too many stories back to back and can’t retain plot points and characters. I think next year, I’ll stick to something more manageable, like 25, and I may read fewer thrillers. Those are always the ones that go by in a blur. What have YOU read and loved this year? I really enjoyed my fantasy reads in 2024, so please share those recs in particular if you’ve got them!👇🏼👇🏼

I loved the Wynter WYN-02 Auburn/Multi rug from @loloirugs that we have in our sunroom so much that I ordered the exact same design in a smaller size for our kitchen seating nook! 🥰💕 I get asked about this rug almost every single day here on IG, which, honestly, doesn’t surprise me at all. The colors are so well balanced and earthy, and the vintage-inspired design is a beaut 🧡👌🏼⭐️ Shop this rug in my Stories now, or comment “RUG” and I’ll send you a direct link! It’s just $73 today for Black Friday 🙌🏼💻 #LoloiBFCM2024 (gifted)

This built-in desk area in my mom and dad’s kitchen has always felt a little boring and plain to me…Sorry, but it’s true! Swipe to see the “before” 🫢😬🫣 My mom uses this spot everyday for working on her laptop, and I wanted it to be a more inspiring place for her to spend time in 🧡 So, I pitched the idea to her of using a @fancywalls.eu wallpaper pattern that looks like tile to jazz things up for a lot less money (and effort!) to install. I love how the new “Gray retro geometric” wallpaper modernizes their kitchen, and that it only took half an hour to install by myself. It would have taken daysssss if we had put in real tile!!! Shop the Fancy Walls wallpaper I used in my Stories today, and let me know in the comments what kind of pattern you would use in YOUR kitchen… (gifted/ad)

Picture this: you just got your delivery of alllll

Picture this: you just got your delivery of allllllllll the amazing non-toxic kitchen appliances, pots, and pans that you ordered for a crazy good deal during the @ourplace Black Friday event!!! Trust me…It’s a really good feeling ☺️🎁🥘 Right now we’re in the “biggest sale days” window of this multi-day event, and things are selling out, so get your wishlist ready and head to the link in my Stories/bio today to grab your top picks at the best prices they’ll be at for the rest of the year. Message me privately or comment if you have a question. Our entire kitchen/meal prep routine is built around our collection of Our Place goodies, so I’ve got lots of experience to share. I love the lightweight feel of their pans (coming from someone with weak wrists), the non-toxic ceramic makes me feel good about what I serve at our dinner table, and the non-stick coating makes cleanup a breeze. I also just LOVE the design!!! Happy Christmas shopping and holiday cooking, my friends 🎄🙌🏼❤️🎅🏼 #FromOurPlace #OurPlaceAffiliate

What are your tips for getting a better night’s sleep? I’m realizing that I need to switch up my routine to get to a better “self care” state, so leave your suggestions in the comments pleaseeeeeeee 💤 😴 🛌

Four months ago, I posted a video joking about how

Four months ago, I posted a video joking about how our 1-year-old cat Joe loved to groom his favorite faux fur blanket from @lolablankets. A week later, he very unexpectedly passed away during emergency surgery…Our hearts were absolutely shattered, but we decided to adopt again, and we were able to rescue Joe’s (real life!) baby sister. The other day, I’m sure you can imagine my reaction when I found baby Gladys grooming Joe’s blanket JUST like her big brother used to 🥹💕🐱 Life really is just one full sweet circle, isn’t it…? Thanks for teaching Gladys from afar, Joe. We miss you everyday, but see so much of you in your little sister 💔

Verrrrry much looking forward to a cozy Sunday spent at home watching football and, hopefully (if I feel up to it), dinner with family later tonight 🧡🍁🏈🍽️ What are your second-half-of-the-weekend plans?

Ummmmmm…The 2-piece Home Cool Duo from @ourplace

Ummmmmm…The 2-piece Home Cool Duo from @ourplace is on MAJOR sale right now ($195, regularly $315), and I thought you ought to know!!! 🫢🧡🙌🏼 I use our non-toxic Our Place pots and pans every single day, and recommend them to everybody I know 😅👌🏼 They’re lightweight, which is a biggie for me since I have really weak wrists, and I love the design/colors. The ceramic non-stick-ability is also unmatched, in my opinion, and holds up much better than other pots/pans we’ve had. Before I got my UC diagnosis, I whipped up this Chicken Stew With Dumplings recipe (via @kitchensanctuary) using my non-toxic non-stick Home Cook Duo. Grab the bundle and lots of other kitchen goodies during the Our Place sale to get the best price of the year! Psssst…Order by 11/19 to ensure delivery by Thanksgiving 🦃🧡🍁🍽️ #fromourplace #gifted

I’m still not quite ready to transition this spa

I’m still not quite ready to transition this space from fall to Christmas, but I’m getting there mentally! It was just so fun adding subtle touches of fall to this room back in September 🍂🧡🎃 A couple plaid accents here, some pumpkins there, fall foliage to round things out…Done! Just goes to show that you don’t have to go crazy with seasonal décor to get the point across (and it means you won’t have tons to store during the off season!) 🙌🏼 Are you still enjoying your fall décor?

Fall time is my forever favorite ☺️🧡🍂🎃

We were at sort of a loss for what to do with the

We were at sort of a loss for what to do with the empty area just off to the side of our kitchen. Swipe to see a video of the space before we moved in. The obvious answer was an eat-in breakfast area, of course, but when we replaced the kitchen counters we added a bar and stools for occasional dining, meaning we didn’t need the extra eat-in space. So, we eventually decided to test out a cozy seating area, and we’ve used it SO MUCH!!! 😄👍🏼🧡 When family comes to visit, we inevitably end up hanging out in the kitchen, and it’s so nice having a soft place to land for conversation. I love that it gives me a chance to show off some of my favorite antiques, too, like our vintage leather couch, china hutch, Bernard Cathelin art, and wood coffee table. Moral of the story: you don’t HAVE to go the obvious route when it comes to room function! Do what works for you ☺️⭐️✨

It has been two months and two weeks since we adop

It has been two months and two weeks since we adopted our rescue Lynx Point Siamese kitten, Gladys Jean, and she is just a PEACH! Even though she’s still tiny, Gladys and our big cat, Marlo, have become the best of wrestling partners, and Gladys has gotten the hang of her “big girl” litter boxes, too. We’ve been using @modkat litter boxes and their Litter Keeper for years, and, thankfully, Gladys has taken well to her new home and our established pet routines. I especially love how the Flip Litter Box opens with just a couple of smooth folds of the lid so I can scoop with ease (especially since I’m usually doing this bleary eyed at 5 in the morning), and the Litter Keeper disposes of clumps with a hands-free step on the foot pedal. Our #Modkat goodies also just look so sleek and clean in our modern home, which you know is important to me! I couldn’t recommend them more—zero complaints, and I think you’ll love them, too, if you’re a fellow cat mom or dad. Tell them Gladys Jean sent you! 🤗🧡🐱 #ad
