If you thought it was about time for The Youngrens to post yet another braising recipe on Recipe Sunday, then I have two things to say: You know us too well. I like you already. Our friends know that Jeff and I can't get enough braising over here at Casa de...
Since Jeff and I were going to be visiting my family in Idaho for Christmas, my sweet sister requested a family photo session. Since she is my sweetest of sisters, I obliged. So between Jeff, myself, and a tripod, we were able to gather my siblings at the house in...
Was this a seriously fast holiday season for anyone else? Since Thanksgiving was a week later than normal, I've been feeling the lack of that fourth holiday week to check everything off my Christmas to-dos. Presents bought? Check. Wrapped? Not so much. Decorations...
The first thing Jeff said when we saw our new house for the first time and walked into the back yard was that the patio needed a farmhouse table. One that would seat at least 20 people. Nothing less would do. So he built one. One that fits 20 people. He also built...
Thanksgiving feels much later in the month this year which means two things: 1) More time to build the epic 20 person farmhouse table for hosting Friendsgiving and 2) more time to overdose on pumpkin. Both of which are oh-so-good. When it comes to an easy first...
I know I've said this before but, Recipe Sunday is baaaaaa-aaaaack!! It's been a little over a year since I last posted a Recipe Sunday and I have no excuses for my sudden cooking silence. Well, actually, I have plenty of excuses - things got busy, our business...
What a random (and wonderful) afternoon! A few hours ago HuffPost Live asked if we would be a part of their online segment, "Spouses Who Work Together" after discovering my article on being married to your business partner. Ummmm, yes. Yes, yes, yes. Aaaaaand yes -...
Remember our trip to Paris? The poetry? The red awning? The Ray Charles cassette tapes? I do. I deeply do. It was one of those 'life moments' - one that rises to the top of the memories pile. Like when the doctor asks you to go to your happy place to keep you calm...
I LOVE having giveaways on the blog because your comments make me SO HAPPY. I mean, I would even trade in a pack of Mega Stuf Oreos just to sit down and read your stories. And by the way, Molly S is now my official bath time hero for introducing me to the limited...
If I’m being honest with myself, I actually don’t take baths very often. Sometimes, I’m so tired at the end of the day that the process of drawing and prepping a decent bath feels like so much time and effort that I give up before I even start and end up on the...
Jeff and I have been traveling a ton these past three years and we're excited that it's time to close the door on that season of life and begin a new one. One that involves us being home. A lot. So we've cut back on the flights and said no to almost all of our...
It never loses it's magic... The emotions of meeting a newborn baby still catch us off guard. The quiet, precious moments unexpectedly squeeze our chests at the worst moments rendering both of us awkwardly speechless. Breathless. Even though we've been here before...
