There was very little that required changing when we moved in three years ago, but that doesn’t mean we haven’t slowly trying to make the space feel practical and personal, to make our house feel like home. Some things felt more urgent, like painting the walls or buying new rugs; other details have taken a back-seat. For a while now I’ve been wanting to make changes to our bathroom. It’s one of those spaces few people ever see, but stepping out into a calm, bright bathroom can really set the tone for the day, so it’s been nagging at me.
Finally, after spending so much time poreing over Anna‘s kitchen remodel and DIY tips on here, I reached out to her to see if she could take a look at the inspiration I’d been pinning and help me make some of it happen! I shared photos, measurements, and inspirational images over the web, and we talked over the phone or on email.
Last August, Megan McDuffie and Michael van Vliet quit their day jobs, loaded up their Ford Focus hatchback, and departed on a yearlong road trip to explore North America. So if anyone is an expert at car-camping, it’s these two. I’ve been following along on Instagram—their photos are beautiful!—and asked them to contribute. I was thrilled when they agreed to share their tips for camp cooking. We love to travel, and this is definitely something I’d like to do more of! If any of you have tips to add, please do so in the comments!

In the spring, the stalls at the Farmer’s Markets are brimming with color. It seems like something new appears every week—from cherries and apricots to artichokes and dandelion greens. Eating seasonally becomes even more appealing as the temperature rises, but life’s especially delicious when you can find ways to embrace the changing selection year-round.
Today, I’m excited to kick off a new series of In Season recipes that celebrate the season’s offerings—sweet and savory alike—from some of my favorite food bloggers! Nicole Dula of Dula Notes—an internet friend of many years now!—kicks things off today with a galette recipe for using those blackberries from Sunday, and all the ones the kids will soon be staining their fingers with from their grandmother’s garden. (Skyler and Hudson are lucky to have a grandmother who has been lovingly tending blackberry vines since Aron was young.) I can’t wait to try it!
