Sunday was a major turning point. She went from tears to giggles and from NO SLEEP to her 10 hours a night. I am so glad. During our Marcum family dinner, My sister-in-law, Stephanie, gave Greta and I a footzone. I have thrush and have been off of carbs and sugar for about two weeks. I have, of course, been hungry and a little cranky myself (As anyone would). But I needed to get rid of the thrush and I was seeing drastic improvements when I didn’t shove bread and sugar in my system. The pain was basically gone. Unfortunately, I didn’t put it together that Greta was not liking this new diet I was on. It was hurting her little tummy and not filling her up either. Stephanie told me that I NEEDED to incorporate carbs in my diet without incorporating yeast. Things like Triscuits, whole grain tortillas and even tortilla chips. Wow, that was music to my ears! It was just what Greta and I needed. She is back to lovely little self and I am not so cranky.
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 […]

Her eyes can get SOOO big! She is very expressive. Those eyebrows are stunning. Seriously, supermodel quality.
I am so glad to hear things are better! A sleepless baby + a sleepless mommy = NO FUN! Brandon and Steph were telling me about Stephanie’s foot zoning thing and I told them I am always a skeptic of those sorts of things. They said if I try it once, I’ll be a believer! Sounds like it worked for you too. AWESOME!
NO CARBS?
NO SUGAR???
How did you survive? I’m trying to have more fruits and veggies in my diet!
Yikes I would be SO angry and grumpy the whole time!
