What We’re Loving
Steal the Sloths card game
Getting a little more personal on this post with what we’re loving lately! Since we run this business together, I’m going to do my best to include things we’re both currently into… which shouldn’t be too hard since we’re so similar in a lot of ways. I know they say opposites attract, but that was not the case with us haha! What’s the other part of that saying? Similarities keep you together (or something like that)? Regardless, we’re in it for the long haul.
Back to that list. In no particular order or category, we’re sharing some things below that have brought us joy, entertainment, made our lives easier or that we think are just worth sharing.
When you have a baby, you watch a lot of TV. At least we do. Especially when you have a baby in January and are not going anywhere. The only thing that takes the edge off those middle of the night feeds is having a good show to keep you company.
With Elle, we watched Madam Secretary, Virgin River (Lance later grew to hate this one so I lost him) and Sweet Magnolias (never made it past season 1 on this one either).
With Sloane, it was White Collar. I know we are late to this game… I think the show was on in 2012 maybe? Regardless, we loved it. We have only found a few shows that keep both our attention the whole time and this was one of them.
It basically follows an FBI agent and his criminal informant as they solve cases together… which might sound like every other show out there, but how they solve cases is unconventional and so is their relationship. It’s also not super graphic or overly suspenseful which is a huge bonus in my book.
2. Jean Stoffer Design - The Established Home
I’ve been following this account on instagram for a while, but just discovered her TV show on Discovery+ in the last few months (told you… when you have a baby, you watch TV).
Our style has been transitioning from mid-century modern to more classic colonial/European design over the last few years (big shift, I know), and I think it’s here to stay. We love everything Jean does and it’s just so classy.

3. All Things Cauliflower
I saw this meme recently that said something like “I think we’ve started expecting too much from cauliflower”, and it gave me a good laugh. It’s not wrong… cauliflower is a lot of things these days.
That being said, when you are gluten free (like us… most the time), it is a great substitute. The recipes below are staples for us because they are SO DANG GOOD. We eat them at least every other week.

4. Taking Elle on Dates
It seems like it was just the three of us for so long, but also such a short time. Just when it felt like we were finding our groove, we added another precious little love to the mix and made things crazy again 🙈.
One-on-one time with Elle is more limited these days, but we’ve both been trying to be more intentional about it and it’s been SO MUCH FUN. Girlfriend has discovered how great it is to eat at a restaurant and we are here for it. She’s at such a fun age now and it’s pure magic experiencing things with her.
5. Steal the Sloths
Last but not least, we’re excited that a project Lance has been co-working on is coming to life! It’s a family-friendly card game called Steal the Sloths (pictured at the top of this post). They had the first round printed, sent it out to a test group and are in the process of refining the rules and design based on player feedback. You can check it out here, and I’m sure we’ll be talking about it more as things continue to progress, so stay tuned!
