After a quick dip in the adjacent hot tub (our muscles are so sore!), we went to the other side of the facility and got Blue Bell ice cream–Chris’s absolute favorite.
Our wood grain Shaker cabinet fronts were designed for busy, high-traffic homes like ours. Clad with durable textured thermofoils, this line is compatible with Sektion, Akurum, Godmorgon, and Besta cabinets from IKEA. It's the perfect, practical way to add the warmth of wood to all the rooms of your home.
We have teamed up with Loloi to create a line of rugs that are as affordable as they are beautiful. This collection houses a great mix of traditional and modern rugs, in cottage-y colorways, as well as vintage-inspired beauties that you’ll want to roll out in every room.
We partnered with Stuga on a line of hardwood floors — The Ingrid is really livable, and the color is very neutral. It doesn’t lean warm or cool, it’s that just right in-between. We have really loved putting it everywhere in our house. It’s the best jumping-off point for design, no matter your interior style. In addition to being beautiful, Ingrid is really durable — we have three kids, and we always have a home construction project going on. Ingrid stands up to it all.

A reader recently asked me if I’m starting to fully embrace traditional style and whether we still consider our house to be a “modern Colonial” and why. It was a really great question and so timely — I had really just been thinking about my approach to this home and how my style has changed […]

That looks like fun – what a creative idea!
It would be so fun to all go together sometime! And yeah, it only took Chris three tries before he was able to stay up surfing. I was so impressed.
so after watching your video, i think i could try the body boarding. not so much the surfing, chris totally looks like a pro. how do guys do that?! Glad his birthday was a blast. And now that I know blue bell ice cream is there, I am sure Jeff will insist we go, that’s his fav!
HAHA covered the sisters up! That is why I no longer ride the big slides at water parks. haha! My butt cheeks made an appearance..and the life guard WASN’T looking away unfortunately :( lol!!
This makes me want to go to Utah
Great birthday planning Jule. Yeah that toootally looks like it could kill your legs, lol such harsh water! Rory would love an activity like that, but I don’t see us renting surf boards in the real ocean in December..
Holy moly!!!! Provo is so much greater than when I lived there! This looks so fun and I am sure you guys had a blast. You are so funny… (covered the sisters, haha).
I’m ashamed to say that I have never tried Blue Bell…
AWESOME BIRTHDAY!!!! Chris makes it look SOOO easy!! He’s just like “no big deal, I’m awesome.” Seriously, I would have prob walked out with a dislocated shoulder and a massive headache from falling so much. Yummmm what kind of blue bell did you get??
Chris went with a triple scooper of Homemade Vanilla (his first love) and I had a single scoop of Strawberry Cheesecake. We BOTH took leftovers home….apparently a scoop is equivalent to a wheelbarrow full.
