October is hands down my most favorite month of the year! It’s busy and hectic but it’s full of so many amazing moments, celebrations, and it’s the month that truly kicks off the coziest time of year.

Three years. It feels impossible to sum up everything that has happened since I launched CRD&CO., but this anniversary feels especially meaningful. The late nights that turned into early mornings, the stress and the tears, the wins both big and small—all of it has shaped not only this business, but me too.

September is moving at the speed of light! It was a month that I thought I was really going to embrace my morning routine - you know, the 5:00 AM wake, hydrate, meditate, and  tackle the days workout routine, all before B and the girls wake up - but little did I know, September would come in on fire and make me BEYOND exhausted! Despite the new school year and activity schedule whipping me out, there are endless moments that made me smile and cry just a bit!

Some spaces begin as a true clean slate—empty walls, bare floors, and endless possibility. This project was just that, and the transformation is one of warmth, color, and collected beauty.

Every year, back to school feels like turning a page — exciting, a little chaotic, and always bittersweet. As a mom, I’m juggling the usual: new shoes, lunchbox ideas, earlier bedtimes… all while trying not to cry over how fast they’re growing.

As July fades and school supply lists start appearing on the fridge, I find myself holding onto summer nights a little tighter.

I feel like every time I sit down to write my monthly recap, I say the same thing, “How is it the end of the month already?” July was a fast one full of design moments, major project progress on our (2!) full home remodels, styled moments that I can’t wait to share, and softball - lots and lots of softball.

“Hey Catherine! It’s so nice to meet you.” is the phrase I hear on a daily basis. In the past two-and-a-half years, my name has gone from Alison to Catherine and back to Alison in the matter of minutes of meeting vendors, potential clients, and everyone in between.
